FROM ACTION TO DISCOVERY
How the interaction works
Look through the shell
Observe the surrounding scene through the curved acrylic surface.
Compare perspectives
Exchange roles with visitors outside to describe how the view changes.
A CLOSER LOOK
Perspective render
Explore the arrangement of an acrylic hemisphere, sealing collar, dry chamber, front entry passage and two water jets.
LEARNING THROUGH PLAY
What visitors can discover
This concept brings viewpoints, water barriers and shared discovery into a shared water-table setting. Visitors can explore the idea at their own pace and compare what they notice with a partner.
Perspective
An inside viewpoint can reveal details that are hard to see from the rim.
Separation
A transparent shell can maintain a boundary while preserving a view.
Communication
Visitors describe the same water scene from different positions.
PART OF A BIGGER WATER TABLE
Planning Habitat Dome
Reserve a genuine dry opening and entry passage through the table. Develop body clearances, supervision sightlines, alternative access and the collar seal for the intended audience.
The arrangement can be developed for a museum, science centre or play space as part of a custom water table. Final dimensions, materials and operating performance are established during design and engineering.
