A Mobile Aquarium Steered By a Fish Named José

As spellbind as an aquarium full of Pisces can be , it ’s hard to not feel unsound about imprison them in a glass cell . And maybe that ’s part what inspiredAdam Ben - Dor , thecreator of that amazing animated Pixar - like desk lamp , to work up theAbovemarine ; a glassful sports stadium on omni - directional wheels that allow its sole swimming occupant manoeuver it around .

A camera perched above the tank track the movement of the fish inside — in this case a Siamese Fighting fish advert José — and translates the direction it ’s swimming into where the Abovemarine roams . Surprisingly , once the Pisces got accustomedto its impermanent mobile home , Adamfound that it would in reality swim backwards when it got tight to an object to stop the tank from clash with it . Who says fish ca n’t be genuine pets ? [ Adam Ben - Dror ]
