Interactive Augmented Reality (AR) Sandbox Topography Map

Architected educational AR sandbox installations reading sand elevation changes in real-time to project dynamic contour lines and simulated water flows.

Key Features & Implementation

  • Real-Time Depth Mesh Scanning: Calibrated overhead 3D cameras scanning physical sand height changes 30 times per second.
  • Dynamic Topographic Color Shaders: Rendered instant color-coded elevation bands (blue water, green valleys, red peaks) matching sand contours.
  • Simulated Water Physics: Executed fluid dynamics simulations allowing virtual rain to flow naturally down hand-carved sand valleys.
