Cover Story: The screenshots are of a Virtual Aquarium and a toothbrush-embedded wireless sensor device that can detect the movement of tooth brushing. When the toothbrushing starts, the fishes dance and the cleaner icon removes stains from the aquarium. When sufficient brushing has taken place, the cleaner icon moves and the fishes dance more elegantly. The fishes’ health is affected by the cleanliness of the aquarium. If the user does not brush his/her teeth sufficiently, then the fishes may become ill or die. However, continuous brushing leads to eggs being laid by the fishes in the aquarium.
