AR Sandbox – Experience Wonder and Excitement

Your child will feel like a true explorer as they watch flowing water, erupting volcanoes, and changing landscapes appear directly in the sand. With endless opportunities for creative play, the AR Sandbox keeps children engaged for hours while encouraging curiosity, imagination, and hands-on learning.

How It Works

Retail Interactive AR Sandbox

The system features an interactive projector and a 3D sensor mounted above the sandbox. It reads the shape of the sand surface in real time and instantly overlays visual effects such as elevation levels, terrain colors, water, lava, and more.

Users shape the landscape with their hands — building mountains and creating valleys — and immediately see how the virtual environment changes. For example, lowering the sand creates water, forming rivers and lakes, while raising it creates mountains with color-coded elevation levels.

The system can also operate as an interactive sand table featuring multiple educational scenarios and games, making it suitable for both learning and entertainment environments.

How It Works

Commercial Interactive AR Sandbox

Designed for commercial environments, this larger interactive sandbox combines an overhead projector and 3D depth sensor with an expanded play surface, allowing several users to explore and interact at the same time. The system continuously tracks changes in the sand and transforms them into dynamic digital landscapes with water, terrain, elevation colors, and other visual effects.

As users dig, pile, and reshape the sand, the projected environment responds instantly. Hills become mountains, deeper areas fill with virtual water, and changing elevations create colorful terrain, turning hands-on play into an immersive interactive experience.

The system also works as a 2-in-1 interactive play table, offering 17+ sandbox games and 90+ PlayDesk games. This makes the commercial model especially suitable for schools, museums, entertainment centers, play areas, and other high-traffic venues.
