The game was developed as a student project on the base of Julian Löhr's AR-SANDBOX.

With the help of Kinect we measure the height level of sand in the box and use these values for our terrain shader. There are four terrain types now: water, sand, grass and mountains. If there is enough amount of water an oasis will be created around the lake.

The sand in the box can be moved and the game level will change accordingly in real time.
