Augmented Reality Sandbox Simulates Water in Real Time [VIDEO]
In one of the coolest examples of augmented reality use we’ve seen, researchers at UC Davis have created an AR sandbox which overlays a real-time, virtual, colored topographic map on sand surface.
As you change the actual topography of the sandbox, creating mountains, basins and riverbeds, a Kinect 3D camera combined with a projector overlay it with a virtual layer of visual information, including flowing water which adheres to the terrain configuration you’ve created.
It works in real time, meaning you can — for example — connect a body of water and a dry basin with a channel and see it fill with water.
The project is powered by a PC with an Intel Core i7 CPU and a Geforce 580 graphics processing unit, with the GPU doing most of the heavy work.
The final goal for the project is to create a self-contained AR system which could be used for educational purposes, for example as an exhibit in science museums.
