Play in the Sand and Make it Rain to Create Landforms and Study Watersheds
Uncover the secrets of water flow and watershed dynamics through interactive exploration with our Augmented Reality Sandbox. Users can simulate rain on the sand, shaping rivers, lakes, hills, and developments, revealing the human impact on the environment. This educational tool generates a topographical model with contour lines and simulated water, serving as a free resource from the Greater Lansing Regional Committee for Stormwater Management and the Eaton Conservation District that aids residents in enhancing watershed health and safeguarding the Grand River Watershed.
