Go to cubed6.com, turn on the sound for the narrative and explore the site. Their system is on a whole different level. I hope the link works.

Seems kinda neat/ingenious, but a solution in search of a problem, perhaps? I'm perfectly fine with a scene involving a barge tied up to a pier, a guy fishing from a small boat, etc. The animation bit seems unnecessary, but that's just me. Plus, a decent size application would require a very large screen/surface.

Modelling on the layout seems a mix of animated and stationary scenes. Typically only the trains are moving, everything else is in snapshot form. I guess this might provide the opportunity to animate a frozen-in-time bit.

It looks pretty cool for sure. If I’d ever entertain such a thing it would be simply for the water effects. Essentially it’s a big screen tv with a programmable water app. I wonder if you can flip it over to game to check the score.

I particularly liked the image of the swimming whale.

The interface between the screen and boats is pretty remarkable, especially the movement-control bit. Something as “simple” as touch-screen tech is beyond my intellect to understand.
