AR Sandbox

The Augmented Reality (AR) sandbox is an innovative tool for visualizing and interacting with geographic and hydrological models. By combining a sandbox filled with malleable sand with a digital projection, the AR sandbox enables the creation of dynamic landscape models. Users can modify and simulate terrain features and watercourses in real time. This makes it a valuable tool for educational purposes, as it allows complex hydrological processes—such as precipitation and runoff—to be presented in a clear and understandable way. The AR Sandbox promotes interactive learning and helps make geoscientific and hydraulic engineering concepts tangible.
