The AR Sandbox was a collaborative effort to create a fun interactive exhibit for Maker Faire NOVA in 2018. By using a kinect sensor and a cheap projector, the open source software reads the depth of sand in the tub and projects a topographic map. The project has been a mesmerizing hit at several Maker Faires, and a variety of local STEM events.

My involvement in the sandbox project focused on the physical presentation. I designed and spearheaded the fabrication of a metal stand that can be disassembled and transported. Extrusion on the top allows the stand holding the projector and kinect to be easily adjusted for optimal sandbox alignment.
