Children explore Augmented Reality Sandbox
Children explore the "Shaping Watersheds Interactive Sandbox," an augmented reality sandbox in which users can form mountains, lakes and rivers while a 3D camera and digital projector allow them to create virtual topography in real time, even making it "rain."
[The AR sandbox was created by the UC-Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center and the UC-Davis W.M. Keck Center for Active Visualization in the Earth Sciences as part of the U.S. National Science Foundation-supported LakeViz3D project (grant DRL 1114663). (Date of Image: 2012-2013)
