Description: In this exhibit an underwater camera is suspended in an aquarium tank. It has the ability to tilt up and down and rotate. The controls for these movements are embedded in a console directly above the tank in another exhibit area. Visitors can view the fish in the tank on a small colour monitor also in the console. The same view can be seen by onlookers on a large monitor overhead. All of the components in the water are built of plastic materials so as not to disturb the electrical characteristics of the tank.
