The UC Davis AR Sandbox is awesome, happy to see there is still work on keeping the idea alive. I've built one for my school quite some time ago and honestly it's just so cool playing with it I almost wish I had one for myself.
This one specifically seems so much more polished than the UC Davis research project with a dashboard for configuration such as color maps, contour lines, sea level, etc. which had to be changed in config files previously. The calibration also seems automated? I distinctly remember the calibration steps to be a major pain.
Also I'm really thankful for the Sandbox project since it was what first got me into using Linux as my main operation system, since I was the only one in the whole place which any idea what a "Linux" or a "package manager" was.
The only part of this project that still gets me a bit mad is the need for the Kinect, it's been getting harder to find X360 versions of these recently and specially the cable to connect it to a computer (in case of using the XONE version). I really wish there was some kind of hardware alternative to it.
