Exhibit Summary
AR Sandbox is a Interactive interactive exhibit in the Kids' Zone category, designed for science centers, children’s museums, discovery centers, STEM learning centers and family entertainment centers. Built as a hands-on, mechanical & electromechanical display, it turns an abstract scientific concept into direct, interactive visitor exploration, and is engineered for durable, low-maintenance, high-traffic gallery use.
Scientific Principle
Contour lines can be obtained by connecting points with the same altitude on the ground to form a closed curve, vertically projecting it onto a horizontal plane, and scaling it on the drawing. Guests can pile the sand into undulating hills at will in the sand table, and then they can view the contour lines projected by the projector. Through interaction with displays, you can master the correspondence between contour maps and reality, and grasp the impact of terrain on the surface form. 2. Function description: This exhibition item consists of a high-precision recognition sensor, a projector and a physical sand table. It can not only present three-dimensional topography, but can even be transformed directly on the sand table. By simply modifying the sandbox layout, participants can create towering mountains and volcanoes, or valleys and flowing water. As participants begin to create canyons and peaks, the sensor automatically monitors changes in terrain height, displaying different color gradations as the terrain changes.
Operation
(1) Pile the sand in the sand table arbitrarily. (2) Watch the contours projected by the projector. (3) The experience ends and the audience leaves.
