Augmented Reality Sandbox Software

Turn any sandbox with a depth sensor and projector into an interactive learning environment. Shape the sand with your hands — mountains rise, rivers flow, creatures appear. All in real time.

Augmented reality sandbox — real-time terrain visualisation projected onto sand

What is it?

Software that turns a depth sensor, projector and a box of sand into an interactive educational tool. No proprietary hardware — bring your own components and control your costs.

20 Modes

Educational colour ramps, animated volcanoes, oceans, geology layers, seasons and more.

Water Simulation

Realistic water that flows downhill. Rain falls, rivers form, valleys flood — all in real time.

Physics & Games

Roll a ball through checkpoints, guide creatures home, match real terrain shapes by sculpting sand.

3D Particle Effects

Rain, snow, volcanic eruptions, animated fish, butterflies and birds — real 3D particles, not overlays.

How does it work?

Mount a depth sensor and projector above a sandbox, connect them to a PC, and run the software. The sensor reads the sand surface, the software creates a visualisation, and the projector displays it back onto the sand.

Depth Sensor

Captures the 3D shape of the sand surface in real time.

Projector

Projects the colourful visualisation directly onto the sand.

Computer

Runs the software. Any modern Windows PC with a GPU.

Sandbox

Any container with sand. DIY or commercial. Any shape or size.

This is software only. You source your own hardware — we provide the software, documentation and support.

AR Sandbox — fish pond visualisation with terrain controls

Who is it for?

Education

Schools, science centres and museums looking for hands-on geography and geology tools.

Play & Entertainment

Play zones, family entertainment centres and event spaces with interactive attractions.

Therapy & Rehabilitation

Sensory integration, fine motor skills training and calming interactive environments.

Integrators & Builders

Hardware integrators who want to offer AR sandboxes without developing software from scratch.

Two planned editions

We plan to offer a free edition with educational visualisation modes and a paid extended edition with interactive games, water simulation, physics and a mobile control app. Details and pricing will be announced closer to launch.
