Abstract

Sandbox play has an important role in today’s early childhood education. Modeling various objects with sand has a positive effect on the development of imagination and creativity of children. In this study, to improve a reality of a sand sculpture, we propose a system that augments appropriate auditory information on the sand sculpture. Since sand sculptures cannot have any internal electrical devices, we adopt parametric speakers, which can emit sharp directional sound. The emitted sound wave reflects diffusely on the surface of the sand sculpture, as if the sculpture itself were emitting the sound.
