An immersive experience, visitors interact with a 30 ft wide wall of screens that transports - and includes - them to an underwater ballet.

Nøcomputer created the technology for "Enchanted Waters" with Dogstudio. It's the latest addition to Navy Pier's recent revamp, and adds an interactive element that reflects the relationship between Chicago and Lake Michigan.

Powered and built on Unity3D, the installation’s wall of screens displays a real-time 3D environment, transporting visitors to a magical, underwater plane. Through the use of several motion-sensing cameras, visitors can watch themselves play and interact with each other and the environment on screen.
