About iSandBOX – an augmented reality sandbox

iSandBOX is an innovative system that completes traditional sandplay with augmented reality.

iSandBOX turns the sand surface into a colorful interactive 3D play area that responds to every movement of the player. Our interactive sandbox animates and enriches sandplay experience. The sandbox allows the players to play and learn in a universe that they build and shape with their own hands. iSandBOX is especially great for studying topography and geography: contour lines, rivers, mountains, volcanoes, etc.

 

iSandBOX is a multifunctional augmented reality sandbox that brings unforgettable experiences and outstanding results in:

  • Education
  • Entertainment
  • Therapy 
  • Exhibitions

How does it work?

Augmented reality sandbox schematics

How does it work?

The depth sensor captures a 3D height map of the sand surface in real time.

This data is transferred to the PC.

The PC processes the data and constantly updates the image sent to the projector.

The projector creates augmented reality on the sand surface by projecting realistic textures — blue water, red volcanic lava, green hills, contour lines making iSandBOX a perfect tool for teaching topography.

Augmented reality objects instantly react to changes of the AR sandbox landscape and player hand movements.

Augmented reality sandbox software

26 basic modes
10 extra modes
Custom development
Very easy to use

iSandBOX software completes the augmented reality sandbox with a set of modes that feature high-quality graphics and game mechanics. The modes visualize natural phenomena, and produce realistic scenes and events that respond to the movement of the sand surface. The projected image immediately responds to changes in the augmented reality sandbox landscape and player movements. 

The Basic Modes software package contains the modes for studying geography, topography, flora, fauna and other natural phenomena, objects and concepts. This package with 16 modes is included with every iSandBOX and it comes free of charge.

For your interactive sandboxes, we also offer several extra modes that can be purchased at an additional charge.

These extra modes add new themes and games to the AR sandbox. They enhance children’s learning and playing experiences. These modes will help develop children’s imagination and provide endless opportunities for role-playing and learning in a unique interactive environment created by the software.

«Now we have an interactive system (iSandBOX), where everyone can change the sand surface and see what happens with the Earth when the landscape is modified.»

A. Kluykina, Museum Director

 

Family members (mainly children) who come to visit have come to play with iSandBOX, resulting in an increase in the frequency of visits as a result of wanting to play with iSandBOX again. We regularly hold events for children in nearby kindergartens and nursery schools for them to recite songs to the elderly and play with the iSandBOX.

Children are happy to play, and some bedridden residents feel better just by seeing their children playing, and their facial expressions become richer. In addition, children returning from school stop by the facility, play with the iSandBOX, and then play shogi (Japanese chess) with the elderly. With iSandBOX, children gather and play an active role in community exchanges.

«They like it very much — younger children only play with the sand, but a bit older ones can spend a lot of time moving the sand around, building islands on the sand etc.»
