Features of an Augmented Reality Sandbox
iSandBOX is an exciting and unique attraction. Augmented reality technology and special equipment are used. Illumination of the sand on the playing field depends on the depth of each layer in a unique way. Thus, the player gets the impression that they’re building mountains and hills with their own hands, creating seas and lakes, turning a green plain into a lifeless desert, etc. There are 29 models (various games) on the sandbox, which means each child can choose an activity they enjoy.
Augmented reality is a technology that allows you to connect real-world objects with virtual objects in real time using modern gadgets.
Structurally the iSandBOX is comprised of a sand tray atop a table. On one side there is a tall sidearm which houses a projector, there is also a control panel here which can be used to cycle through the various interactive modes. There’s also a computer housed inside of the sandbox along with sensors, each unit includes a tablet which can be used to adjust variables on the landscape, such as increasing or decreasing sea levels. The projector and depth-sensor combined give the effect of augmented reality. The feature of iSandBOX is kinetic sand. It is pleasant to the touch, does not stick to hands and does not get dirty.
