The AR Sandbox is an interactive educational and technology that combines elements of augmented reality with a physical box containing white sand. It allows users to model 3D topographic features like mountains, valleys, rivers, or even simulations of ecosystems, displayed in real-time on the sand's surface making it an engaging, immersive and educational experience. As users manipulate the sand, the virtual terrain adjusts accordingly. The Sandbox has potential applications in Geography, Geology, Hydrology, Environmental Science, as well as general spatial awareness and interactive learning. During the quick introductory workshop you will learn the basics and get some hands-on time in the Sandbox!
