We have expanded our GeoMarine Lab in our office/classroom space in Woods Hole. In collaboration Stephanie Madsen (WHOI) and their grant from the MacArthur Foundation, we have jointly developed lesson plans for our incredible Interactive Topographic Modeling System, (Augmented Reality Sandbox) for visiting classes. In December we have added a Hydraulic Modeling capability to the Sandbox. To our knowledge, this is the first time anyone has added real streamflow to an AR Sandbox installation. Our lab also features a split screen so the image projected on the working surface is also projected on the wall, for full-class presentation capability. This is a powerful mapping and hydraulic teaching tool for middle, high school and college students.
