Students use an augmented reality sandbox to learn topography and water flow at Vancouver Island University.

Students at Vancouver Island University are using an augmented reality sandbox to better understand topography and hydrology. Developed by Devin Ayotte and Gerri McEwen, the tool lets students shape sand to create hills and valleys, which are then mapped in real-time with color elevations and water flow projections. This interactive system aids learning and has also been used to engage the public at science fairs.
