In the past 5 weeks in digital world we have been learning how to make a augmented reality sandbox. We have been researching how to make a layout for the sandbox and there are 3 groups working on projects in each group there are people assigned to different tasks. The digital group researches about the things you need to run a program to create the augmented reality sandbox. The program used is called linux and acts like a new setup of a software. The people in the digital part had to try and contact different companies and ask for white sand but only a few of them replied but they weren't giving the white sand away for free so a few people were sent to the beach to collect sand for this project and we had to clean it to make sure it was smooth sand so it could be projected onto. We have made tables to hold the sand and a bar above it to hold the kinect sensor and projector. There was only enough sand for 2 groups unfortunately but everyone is able to experience it still. There were problems with the software that we were using so we weren't able to set it up as soon as everything was done.
The good things that happened were the tables were successfully built and we could hang the projector and kinect sensor up without them falling off. We managed to get sand for the project aswell.
The bad things were that we did not have enough sand for every group. We couldnt troubleshoot the problem in time for the presentation day.
