Mysterious POND

抄録

We present a media art work "Mysterious POND", which gives a mysterious illusion for multiple users on a digital table using a revolving polarizer. It normally shows users a waving water surface, but only the users embodying "Sansai ", an oriental philosophy, can watch carps in underwater by illuminating the water surface with a magic lantern. For embodying "Sansai", the user needs to be under the sun or the moon, and wear glasses. This paper describes the theory and its implementation of Mysterious POND, followed by some sceneries of the demonstrations. Finally, the future extensions of the work are discussed from the results of the demonstrations.
