Geography and Geology Departments Build Visualization Sandbox

Western Illinois University 29 July 2015 USA MACOMB, IL - -Western Illinois University

MACOMB, IL - -Western Illinois University's geology and geography departments have constructed a virtual augmented reality sandbox for WIU students to better study topography.

The design for the sandbox started in Spring 2015, and took about two and a half months to build. The design was inspired by University of California-Davis' W.M. Keck Center for Active Visualization in the Earth Sciences. The original goal of the sandbox was to develop a real-time integrated augmented reality system to physically create topographic models.
