Odaiba Water Show
Every year, the annual Odaiba water illumination show in Tokyo, projects an hourly 15-minute slide show depicting the birth of the Earth on a 15-meter-tall and 40-meter-wide fan-shaped water screen. The 15-minute show lasts for three weeks at the end of the year to attract holiday shoppers to the nearby shopping center, located off the shore of the Odaiba Seaside Park. The technology that makes the show possible consists of water pumps and jets to produce the large water spray, and submersibe projectors to place the images on the water screen. The fine particulate screen provides an ephemeral display for the earthly images. The light bounces from droplet to droplet, creating a delicate movement and 3-dimensional image.
