A recent video from DigInfo shows an Augmented Reality system from Canon which superimposes swimming fish over the reality (a Museum) and allows the user to see them swimming around.  It’s done with motion tracking and VR Goggles.  It was shown at the Digital Content Expo 2008 at the Tokyo National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation.

Video after the break.
