Bathysphere Project
Aquariums are getting bigger and bigger but the small miracles of nature are frequently overlooked.
Inside our Bathysphere the 3-to-7-person crew operates all the controls and can take photographs as if on safari, finding and following the different animals.
It is a way of viewing real animals close up in a natural environment without alarming them,
A voyage in the bathysphere is a great adventure and the crew sometimes has to deal with unforeseen emergencies.
This is a working prototype, which has enabled us to test the feasability of the project. Our ambition now is to be able to create a new system (Bathysphere Project 2.0) and install it in an Acquarium or a Modern Natural History Museum.
Please note that this system...
- ...is NOT a virtual reality system
- ...uses NO pre-recorded video, apart from a short 3d-animation introducing the "miniaturization process" ;-)
The inventors of this little jewel (which incorporates a large number of ingenious solutions to more or less complex problems) are willing to study an engineered variant of the project which would make it possible to bring this unique experience to a wider public.
