the-tales-of-a-geology-student: The Augmented Reality Sandbox at Concord University Today was the fi

the-tales-of-a-geology-student:The Augmented Reality Sandbox at Concord UniversityToday was the first time since its update (and first time at all for us) that we have gotten to play with the AR Sandbox. An Xbox 360 Kinect Sensor captures the image of the sand in a live feed. It links to a projector that projects images (contour lines/colors/etc) onto the sand. It uses a software (I’m not sure the name off the top of my head, but it is free) that is responsible for the projections. Though the software itself is free, it requires very specific components to work properly (only runs on a certain version of Linux, requires a specific version of Kinect sensor, graphics card, etc). I can get more information if needed :) This nifty tool provides students and others an opportunity to build mountains, valleys, and other structures and see contouring in real time as well as how structures affect the area in general. By holding your hand over the map, you can also generate rainfall!! It was the big hitter of the geology department today. (I’m trying to upload a video but it is not wanting to go up.) -- source link
