That's really nice. You should give it or sell it to science museum or 50 and make them really big!
How much computing resources does it take?
I would LOVE to have this as my physical desk top.
Hi @danybittel, could you explain a bit more about the polarization filter you used to filter our the content and only let through the obstacles?

I am interested to know how it works.

Thanks.

Really cool. I love things like this where the human in the loop is the point.
The polarization filter was a great idea. Solving a seemingly complex problem in a very simple way.
That’s very cool. There’s a science museum in Sudbury Ontario that has something pretty much identical to this, albeit with slightly less cool colouring. Beside it was a sand table that projected the topography of the sand. Both were so awesome to play with. My youngest kept wanting to bring the blocks to the sand table to make buildings.

A small thought: if your hand affects the flow and it seems cool, add a small fan to simulate the blowing and see if that has a meaningful impact on the sensation of the experience.
