I think the movement of the fish is really realistic, and the way the water reacts to the mouse is also very believable. I think the detail in the rocks on the bottom is really nice, but I wish there were more of an environment.

This is an app for Windows. It has some really interesting features. Touch the screen to add waves and scare the fish. Shake device to feed the fish. Tilt the device to add more waves. Use menu to change backgrounds, sounds or to add more fish.

This is a game for iPhones and iPads. This game has a lot of customizable features such as various koi breeds and pond decor. You can visit your friends ponds and sell and trade. I like that the ponds have more than just the fish and rocks on the bottom. I am definitely thinking of a more sleek look for Flux.

This is the first (original) version of the game above. I actually prefer this version. I think this is more of what we are going for. There aren't as many customizable features, and it is more about the experience and actual interaction with the fish. The menus are very minimal and not intrusive.

This is an live wallpaper for Androids. Although it is not interactive, this is the closest example I have found to the style I am going for. It's lighter and not so grungy. The view of the pond is similar to what we are planning to have for Flux- we probably want it to be just a little more directly over head. I also like seeing the edges of the pond.

This is just an online game for building your own fish tank. The fish move pretty believably, but are a little sporatic at some times. I think that this game has kind of clashing styles. I don't like how some parts look very cartoonish, while others are photographs.

This is super interesting. At first glance, I wasn't sure what was going on and how little dots were supposed to be fish. However, I now think this is pretty cool- this piece turns a bed of water into a capacitive touchscreen using projectors ana an HD webcam connected to a laptop running OpenCV and Processing software. Should we use processing????

This animation of the cloth is created using three.js. I think this is a good reference for us while animating the water. The movement is really believable and echos that of the movement of a current in water. The highlights and shadows are really nice.

Really nice example of water animation using three.js. We are looking for a bit more of an overhead shot, but still good reference.

The birds in this example follow the mouse really well, kind of like how we want the fish to respond to a tap and hold of the display.
