With a 3D view through the fishoscope, fish in the Rhine Fall basin can be experienced up close. Eawag has accompanied the pilot project.
The Rhine is currently still very full. As Lake Constance is overflowing, around 800,000 litres thunder over the Rhine Falls into the stilling basin below every second. This basin has always been not only full of secrets, but also the final destination for all fish that have made the upstream migration. Swimming in the Rhine Falls basin is forbidden. Now the ’Fischoskop’ makes it possible to jump into the Rhine Falls basin without getting wet. Fish that live there can be experienced up close thanks to virtual reality. On a journey lasting just a few minutes, viewers are given information about some of the fish species and their habitat.
