FEAtures
Sandbox AR is an augmented reality "maker" app that allows students and teachers to create, share, and even inhabit virtual environments. By placing a stage on a flat surface and adding models to create a sandbox, students create a virtual world they can experience and share.
Bringing immersive learning experiences to classrooms everywhere!
• Create, build, and explore in augmented reality.
• Explore creations on life-size scale!
• Share your sandboxes with other users with a simple QR code.
• Capture snapshots and videos of your sandbox.

WHY Augmented Reality?
Research shows that using AR can deepen student learning through interactivity, greater context to the world, and a sense of scale and proximity that might not otherwise be possible.
With new AR apps for iPad, educators and students will find a renewed sense of engagement! These AR apps are available to schools to support learning in any environment.
