Abstract
An interactive virtual aquarium simulation system includes a two-dimensional (2D) fish image having a unique identifier associated therewith, with the unique identifier corresponding to predefined fish movements. A scanner scans the 2D fish image and converts to a digital image. A three-dimensional (3D) mapping processor is coupled to the scanner to generate a 3D fish image based on the digital image. A virtual simulation processor is coupled to the 3D mapping processor to generate simulation video of a virtual aquarium including a plurality of fish and the 3D fish image. The 3D fish image swims within the virtual aquarium based on the predefined fish movements. The simulation video of the virtual aquarium with the 3D fish image is provided to a display.
