====== Augmented Reality Sandbox ====== An augmented reality (AR) sandbox is a 3D, interactive, dynamic educational tool to help understand mapping, topography, watersheds, natural hazards, and more! This tool uses a motion sensor and specialized computer software to map contour lines (lines of equal elevation) onto the sand that adjust to the elevation levels of the sand in real-time. It's a fun, and addictive, way to learn through play for young and the young at heart. ===== Resources ===== * [[https://www.usgs.gov/youth-and-education-in-science/augmented-reality-ar-sandbox#:~:text=An%20augmented%20reality%20(AR)%20sandbox,%2C%20natural%20hazards%2C%20and%20more!|ARSandbox USGS]] * [[https://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/~okreylos/ResDev/SARndbox/|UCDavis]] ===== Instructions ===== * [[https://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/~okreylos/ResDev/SARndbox/|Software Install]] * {{youtube>R0UyMeJ2pYc?medium}}
