Operates on a computer connected to a home cinema projector and a kinect sensor. framework for future sandbox-based games and applications.Easy calibration to easily disassemble and reassemble the sandbox.run on a mid-range laptop / home computer (Windows / Mac OS X / Linux, minimal GPU requirement).Magic-Sand was developed with the specific aim of simplifying the use of an augmented reality sandbox in a home/family environment : It was ported to openFrameworks with multi-plateform support (linux/macos/windows), a simple user interface and a robust yet simple calibration procedure by Thomas Wolf and later modified and extended with some games by Rasmus R. It is a partial port of the SARndbox project of Oliver Kreylos under openframeworks and is also adapted from the ofxKinectProjectorToolkit by Gene Kogan.

This project was inspired and adapted from the Augmented Reality Sandbox developped by UC Davis. The software provided on this repository control the beamer and the kinect in order to project on the sand colors which are related to the height of the sand. Magic Sand is a software for operating an augmented reality sandbox like this one:Īn augmented reality sandbox is made of a sand box, a depth detector (like a Kinect) and a beamer coupled together.
