Augmented Reality (AR) Sandbox
AR Exhibit for science museum
To educate and entertain a museum audience
The Project
Great Lakes Science Center (GLSC) enlisted Impact’s help to create a dynamic new exhibit that allows museum guests to “experience a sandbox unlike any other.” GLSC describes it best: “the exhibit uses a 3-D camera, powerful software, a data projector and real sand to show how a watershed works. Guests are able to create topography models by rearranging special sand to represent land formations, which are then augmented in real time by an elevation color map, topographical contour lines and simulated water.”
Client
The Great Lakes Science Center is a museum and educational facility located in Cleveland, Ohio with 300,000 annual visitors.
Audience
Great Lakes
Science Center visitors.
Objective
Provide visitors with a fun and tactile way to create virtual geographical features.
