Many things can be dug up from the sand. Ancient vases, pirate treasures… but also the alphabet?

That’s right! DigQuest mode is a great example of learning through play. It combines tactile interaction with visual cognition and lots of fun. Carefully remove the sand to uncover a new letter or number every time. Tested and approved by a panel of young experts 🙂

For more adventure-hungry users we recommend the Archeology mode and the surprises it brings. Will it be a fossil or maybe a greek vase? Be careful not to spoil it! After spending hundreds or thousands of years underground, the items become fragile and will break and turn red if you dig too deep. Difficulty can be adjusted in the application settings.

Optional: you can adapt the Discovery module to better match your facility! We will prepare additional models on your demand, including real-life exhibits. Furthermore, the user interface can be re-designed for an even more satisfying fit.

The objective is to guide a virtual ball from start to finish, destroying all targets and avoiding obstacles along the way. To do so, you will need to shape the sand to form a track. Easy as it sounds, it turns out to be a great and fun challenge! The ball will only run downhill, so the track needs to be well-planned. If you make it too steep, it will jump out, too flat and it gets stuck!

With endless possibilities of shaping the sand and difficulty increasing with each level, the game never fails to amuse. Gameplay: https://youtu.be/W4QfSBSuE4E

Apart from the obvious entertainment aspect of this module, it can be used to enhance spatial cognition and teach basic physics principles.

The sandbox is hiding a lot of mysteries. The image you are seeing at any given moment smoothly transitions into another. By removing layers of sand, you discover and create new realities. It all works by projecting fully customisable images that blend seamlessly into one another. Hunt for treasures, discover colours, learn and recognise shapes one by one. Make abstract collages and patterns. The only limit is your imagination. The option comes with lots of ready-made image packs that can be freely modified. You can also easily add your own to personalise the experience. It can be used for education, games, themed applications, etc.

Included packs:

1. Moods
2. Archaeology
3. Human
4. Animals
5. Games
   and many more

Online Maps mode allows you to find real world data and project it onto the sand directly from the web. Use a tablet or touch screen to navigate the world map. 4 types of maps included – satellite, terrain and more. Great tool for schools and universities.

Touchscreen module is a software extension that allows you to control the application while it’s running via easy-to-use interface. The set of parameters available on the touchscreen will let you fully customize your sandbox and adjust it whenever needed. Some of the accessible settings will drastically improve functionality of your device, while others will make it even more fun to use!

If you decide to purchase other modules, they will also be accessible from the touchscreen’s roll-up menu.

To immediately export terrain shape data, press the “+” button on numeric keypad/keyboard. If you are using our touchscreen feature, there is an individual ‘Export’ page in the interface with a convenient export button. The saved file is .fbx format (shape without materials and textures) and has its own unique name – date and time. By default files are saved on an external flash drive.

For expert users: destination folder for saved files can be changed in ‘GlobalSettings’ file in application folder.

Exported model can be used to create 3D prints!
