Discover how AR technology transforms sand into an educational adventure

Three Worlds, One Sandbox

The Interactive Sandbox serves three core areas for maximum impact

IAM Learning

Geography and physics become tangible. Children learn about topography, volcanoes, water cycles, and erosion by creating and experimenting with landscapes themselves.

IAM Playing

Free play with sand and AR projections. Children build landscapes, trigger volcanic eruptions and create waterfalls — pure creativity without limits.

IAM Special Needs

The combination of tactile sand experience and visual AR stimulation is ideal for sensory integration therapy. Calming, motivating, and therapeutic.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Interactive Sandbox combines a tray of play sand, a 3D depth sensor, and a projector. The system scans the sand surface and projects real-time topographic maps, colors, and effects onto the sand. When children move the sand, the projection adjusts immediately.

There are 12+ modes available including: topography (elevation maps with color codes), volcano simulation (lava effects on tall mountains), water cycle (realistic water flow), seasons, treasure hunt, and more. New modes are regularly added via free updates.

The standard sandbox (120x90cm) requires a space of at least 2.5 x 2 x 2.5 meters (width x depth x height). The sensor and projector are mounted above the sandbox on a frame. A larger variant (150x120cm) is also available.

Absolutely. The combination of tactile sand experience and visual AR stimulation is proven effective for sensory integration therapy. The sandbox is used in dementia care, pediatric rehabilitation, and sensorimotor therapy. Calm visual modes are specially designed for these target groups.

The included play sand is washed and dust-free. We recommend replacing or cleaning the sand annually. The frame and technology require minimal maintenance. With the Professional and Enterprise packages, annual maintenance visits are included.

The Interactive Sandbox is suitable for children from 3 years old through to seniors. 2-6 people can play simultaneously. The various modes are tailored to different age groups and skill levels.
