Augmented Reality Sandbox

One of our major projects this year is our Augmented Reality Sandbox. Sean Musselman from the Burlington Science Center secured a grant from the Burlington Education Foundation to create this sandbox which changes topography based on movements in the sand from the user. Eddie Reis and Jinzhen Hu (Hugo) worked very hard on it this semester, and we now have a working prototype. The next steps will involve building the actual box and apparatus to hold the computer, projector, and XBox Kinect camera. A more detailed write-up of the project can be found here.
