Colors may appear differently on your monitor from how they appear in real life. If you are concerned, please request a physical swatch below before placing your order.
Hands-On Learning: Offers an active and interesting way to teach geographic, geologic and hydrologic concepts, including the meaning of contour lines, map reading, catchment areas, levees, watersheds and more
Real-Time Projection: As sand is manipulated, an elevation color map, topography contour lines and simulated water appear instantly.
Innovative System: A Microsoft Kinect 3D camera, data projector, and powerful simulation and visualization software, create a closed-loop system for easy manipulation and control.
Ready to Go: Includes a laptop loaded with visualization software, designed by a team of scientists at UC-Davis.
Cord Management: Convenient built-in wire management prevents cords from interfering and getting tangled.
Smart Design: Fold-up laptop shelf with collapsible hinge creates the perfect work space, where all necessary tools are close at hand.
Durable Materials: Sandbox is constructed from solid oak and oak plywood, which offers stability as well as a natural aesthetic.
Note: Sand not included (we recommend 250 lbs of Sandastik® sparkling white play sand).
Worry Free: Limited Lifetime Warranty guarantees years of use and enjoyment. Electronics have a 1-year warranty.

An augmented reality sandbox will totally revolutionize the way your students think about geographic, geologic and hydrologic concepts. This complete system combines virtual topography, a sandbox and simulated water, allowing students to create topographic models by shaping real sand. An elevation color map with topography contour lines and simulated water appears in real-time, corresponding to the changes and variations in the manipulated sand.
This amazing tool comes with everything you need to operate the system. A Microsoft Kinect 3D camera projects onto the sand, controlled by a laptop loaded with the necessary visualization software. The sandbox is made of solid oak and oak plywood, with heavy-duty casters, so you can easily transport the whole AR sandbox system in one smooth trip. A fold-up laptop shelf and built-in wire management create a comfortable work area where students can focus on learning as much as possible.
