What is iSandBOX?

A next-generation tool for learning and development

iSandBOX creates an interactive environment for study, play and creative activities. For children, augmented reality turns an ordinary sandbox into a world full of magic. For teachers and therapists, it boosts the productivity of lessons with a positive psycho-emotional impact.

We have also designed an interactive sandbox specifically for wheelchair users. iSandBOX Special can be deployed in hospitals, rehabilitation centers and retirement homes.

Why iSandBOX?

Built to engage, designed to last

Broad model range

Models for any task and rooms of different sizes and types. We can customize iSandBOX to your exact specifications.

Quality build

Thanks to our engineering expertise and quality materials, iSandBOX is safe, vandal-proof and works with wet sand.

Realistic simulations

Edutainment modes are fun to play yet based on serious simulation models — dynamic ecosystems respond to landscape changes in real time.

Superior graphics

Colorful visualization helps keep children focused and lets them engage more deeply in the interaction process.

36 game modes

Thousands of unique stories

The iSandBOX software ships with 36 edutainment modes — 26 in the basic package and 10 available as an option. Create different educational and recreational scenarios and let children get immersed in enthralling stories.

Safari

How many secrets and dangers the mysterious savannah holds! There's a predator lurking behind every tree, ready to attack at any moment. Change the water level and the blooming savannah turns into a lifeless desert of cracked earth. By changing the terrain, children can immerse themselves in a fascinating world of wildlife that is home to many herbivores and predators. The teacher can tell children what animals live in Africa, what they eat, and what risk they may bring.

Volcano

The Volcano mode presents a magnificent spectacle in front of children's eyes – a blazing volcano with erupting lava. The mode expands the knowledge of a variety of natural phenomena as children observe the behavior of a volcano. The volcano erupts lava and releases smoke, lava flowing down the slope and accumulating in the lowlands. By learning the peculiarities of natural phenomena hands-on, children learn to make basic connections between them.

Gardener

This mode offers children a great opportunity to try themselves out as gardeners. Players plant seeds, water sprouts and tender plants. Plant health bars help kids find out how well they are doing as gardeners. The interactive garden teaches children what exactly plants need to survive and how to take care of them.

Water Spring

The mode is designed to study the behavior of water. It allows you to simulate mountain rivers, floods and dam breaks. Water flows down the slopes and accumulates in the lowlands. With the help of this mode the teacher can conduct geo science lessons and explain water bodies. Children will be able to learn more about their environment and learn to make cause-and-effect connections between natural phenomena.

Shapes and Colors

The mode includes three scenes with geometric shapes of different sizes and proportions: a square, a triangle, a circle and a star. As you change the height of the sand, the colors of the shapes change from the bottom to the top sand layer: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple. Each layer is about an inch of sand thick. The game teaches children to distinguish geometric shapes, compare their sizes, colors, properties and combine them according to similar characteristics.

Make it your own

Extend your sandbox beyond the box

The built-in modes are only the start. iSandBOX can grow with you — build your own scenes with iSandBOX Editor, or commission a custom excavation mode featuring your venue's own artefacts.

iSandBOX Editor

A mobile app to create your own map, image and color layers — changes appear on the sand in real time.

What our customers say

Loved by educators and operators around the world

We handle geophysical equipment and were very interested in iSandBOX. By playing in the sand, geologists and geophysicists — and children — can better understand the geological field. I believe iSandBOX will help foster future researchers.
