Augmented Reality SandBox
Asfan projects an augmented micro-reality at your fingertips.
What is Augmented Reality Sandbox?
Consists of an interactive sand table, a scanner, and a projector. The scanner detects the height and placement of the sand in the basin, calculates the appropriate projection, and transmits the information to the projector, which then projects topographic lines and colors onto the corresponding sand below.
How Do You Use Augmented Reality SandBox?
Simply move the sand around. You can create different geographic formations, from mountains to valleys to river deltas to flood plains. Watch the water flow and collect over various water sheds. SandBox can be used to teach and study topography, geomorphology, hydrology, geology, erosion, deposition, conservation, many other Earth sciences, and even computer sciences.
