SandBOX-Hipsomaper – the first step to the third dimension of the map

Paweł Pytka, Paweł Wojtanowicz

Abstract


The reading, analysis and interpretation of the contour line picture is causing pupils quite a lot of problems. They result above all from lack of abilities of getting the third dimension out of the two-dimensional plain. On the one side different perceptual predisposition of pupils affects such a state of affairs, on the other – insufficient methodological base, mainly in the form of interesting, attractive, inspiring and modern teaching tools. SandBOX seems to be a reply to this demand. SandBOX is a multimedia tool for generating and showing the picture of colorful map-contour line on the freely formed, interactive model of sand. The user immediately is seeing the threedimensional space created by himself in the form of colorful hypsometric map. This device can easily help understand the process of mapping and reading information about the terrain on the hypsometric map.
