AUGMENTED REALITY SANDBOX
Augmented Reality Sandbox
Children will learn the following concepts from interaction with the FLEXHIBIT STEM AR Sandbox Interactive:
- Watersheds and Water Conservation: What watersheds are, what happens when it rains and how watersheds are important to water conservation and ecosystems.
- Landforms/ Geology: That landforms were created by processes such as glaciation, tectonics and erosion. They will also discover water's role in these processes.
- Topographic Maps: Use of contour lines of earth’s surface to create a 3D model of landforms, streambeds and watersheds.
- Hydrology: How water’s movement, distribution and quality affect landforms, water quality, water cycle and the watershed.
STEM Careers that are associated with the AR Sandbox are:
Hydrologist - Earth Scientist - Environmental Scientist - Geologist - Civil and Environmental Engineering
Intended Use
The user creates valleys, peaks and hollows in the sand and the exhibit maps the features in real time. The user can then hold a hand high above the sand and rain will fall from the sky. Users are changing the landscape with their bare hands through play while discovering the real-world science that relates to this exhibit and the importance of water and how it shapes the earth.
