The AR Sandbox is an interactive tool that combines real sand with 3D topographic projections to simulate elevation, contour lines, and water flow in real time.
It’s perfect for visualizing terrain behavior, slope stability, erosion, and flood simulations, ideal for geotechnical training and education.
Suitable for universities, consultants, training centres, and government agencies looking to enhance engagement in geology, geography, and environmental studies.
AR Sandbox Features
Real-Time 3D Terrain Projection
Visualizes contour lines and elevation levels directly on the sand surface using a projector and depth sensor.
Dynamic Water Simulation
Simulates water flow and rainfall in real-time, showing how water moves through different terrains.
Interactive & Hands-On
Users can shape the sand with their hands to instantly create mountains, valleys, rivers, or basins.
Color-Coded Elevation Mapping
Uses color gradients to represent elevation changes, making it easy to understand topography.
Educational & Fun
Designed to enhance learning for students and visitors through interactive geoscience experiences.
Portable & Customizable
Built with mobility in mind and can be tailored to fit different institutions or exhibition setups.
