Augmented Reality Sandbox for Grasshopper & Rhino

Introduction

Sandworm is a work in progress.

Sandworm is a Grasshopper plug-in that helps bridge between analog and digital modelling of landscapes. It enables an 'augmented reality sandbox' or 'tangible table' setup and ensures that this modelling environment is fast, feature-rich, customisable, and extensible.

Documentation and Demos

Please see sandworm.la for our documentation. Docs are relatively minimal at present, but include videos of Sandworm in action.

Download and Installation

A gha file and Yak package will be provided when Sandworm is officially released. Until then, Sandworm can be tested by downloading our repository and building the plugin using Visual Studio on Windows.

To use Sandworm you will need a copy of Rhino 6, a Kinect for Windows v2 and have installed the Kinect for Windows Runtime 2.0.
