If you ever hoped to pretend your phone were a fish or an aquatic plant, Sony would like to present its Xperia Z1S.
The brand, along with Wieden + Kennedy and development partners Motim and SoftFacade, is demonstrating the phone's waterproof technology by developing apps designed to be used in and under the water.
A new feature on the phone uses ultrasound to sense when the phone is submerged. A handful of 30-second videos (directed by Sean Pecknold of Society) demonstrate the apps, which capitalize on that detection technology in ways unusual, somewhat amusing and mostly frivolous.
One of the apps is "Goldie," an on-screen fish that flops around like it's dying when you take the phone out of the water.
