Abstract

Interactive 3D simulation devices for augmented reality topography are very helpful for creating topographic models and for teaching Earth sciences. This implementation is constituted by two main stages, the first stage is formed by the construction of the sandbox structure; the second stage is constituted by the adjustment and calibration of the augmented reality software, which will project the image of the relief on the sand surface. This device will be a tool to create new teaching resources that will allow teachers to impart their knowledge in a more interactive and practical way in subjects such as petrography, cartography, geographic information systems, application of mining software, mining geotechnics, etc. This resource is presented to promote and enhance active methodologies based on interactive learning.
