This water pool can create waves in any shape you can imagine. Not just rough sketches, but perfectly clear shapes like hearts, stars with hard angular points, and even a musical note.
It uses computer-controlled actuators that move the water in perfect synchronisation. The computer software uses fluid dynamics algorithms to calculate the necessary motions. The whole thing looks like a computer rendering, but it’s real. [YouTube via DRB]
