Abstract
In recent years, with the rapid improvement of the performance of computers, new possibilities for real-time simulation technologies are emerging. In this study, we simulated the behavior of water in real time and combined this simulation with a measurement of the user’s 3D motion to simulate the interaction between water and light, as observed in Noctiluca. Noctiluca is oceanic plankton that produces light when physically stimulated. Stirring the surface of water containing Noctiluca in a completely dark place causes the surface to glow, and an observer can gain the mystical and fantastic experience of watching the glow becoming dim with the flow of the water.
