An Augmented Reality Sandbox is an interactive educational tool that combines physical sand with digital projections. Users shape the sand to create hills, valleys, and other terrains. A projector overlays real-time visuals, like changing colors or water flows, onto the sand, simulating environmental processes. This allows users to see how landscapes change, learn about geography, and understand concepts like water management and ecology in a hands-on way. It's used in classrooms and museums to engage people in science and geography through an immersive, tactile experience.
