Diversified Augmented Reality Sandbox

Description

Students create topography models by shaping real sand, which is then augmented in real time by an elevation colormap, topographic contour lines, and simulated water and lava. Using a closed loop of a Microsoft Kinect 3D camera and a Linux computer and data projector, this system creates 3D visualizations for hands-on learning with real sand and virtual topography.

Students will learn geographic, geologic, and hydro-logic concepts including how to read a topography map, the meaning of contour lines, watersheds, catchment areas, levees, and much more. It can also be used to teach history and explain complex geopolitical concepts, as well as being used for special needs students.

Made of solid oak and oak plywood and moves on heavy-duty locking casters. A wire management system keeps cords from interfering. Shelf holds laptop while in use and folds away with a collapsible hinge.
