Design concept shown in a fixed pose. The 3D view explores the form; effects and mechanisms are illustrative.
FROM ACTION TO DISCOVERY
How the interaction works
Lower the pickup
Guide the magnetic end toward the fish's pickup point.
Bring it to the tray
Lift and reposition the catch, then choose another fish.
A CLOSER LOOK
Perspective render
Explore the arrangement of two swivel fishing rods, magnetic lines, six fish, lily pads and a catch tray.
LEARNING THROUGH PLAY
What visitors can discover
This concept brings magnetic attraction, coordination and sorting into a shared water-table setting. Visitors can explore the idea at their own pace and compare what they notice with a partner.
Magnetic attraction
A connection can form without a hook.
Hand-eye coordination
Small changes in rod position affect the hanging pickup.
Classification
The catch tray supports counting and sorting activities after retrieval.
PART OF A BIGGER WATER TABLE
Planning Magnetic Fishing
Keep rods, tray and fish within comfortable reach. Develop line lengths and pickup forces around the intended audience, with clear space between neighbouring rods.
The arrangement can be developed for a museum, science centre or play space as part of a custom water table. Final dimensions, materials and operating performance are established during design and engineering.
