This reminds me of levitating fluids over air by vibration, which Steve Mould made a nice video about: The Levitating Liquid Pendlum - https://youtu.be/gMAKamGIiMc

The paper that is the source of the footage in the video: https://arxiv.org/abs/2003.04777

Thank you for this link. That was incredibly interesting. I won't spoil the twist at the end, suffice to say that I now am hoping for something like that in a scifi movie.

Supposing there was a large enough pool to do this effect with a person in it…would it give the perception of weightlessness?

I would be curious to try this using the upside down buoyancy demonstrated at the end of the video. That'd be... Trippy? Terrifying? Amazing?
