My masters thesis focused on assessing a combination of Augmented Reality and 3D printing as a means of displaying cartographic information. Included are select examples of models I created during this research. The final product used in my research was a 10-piece print of the Cerros de Trasquilar & Cerro Santa Rosa peaks in Valles Caldera, created from LiDAR data of the caldera. This print then had images projected onto it through an AR sandbox projector.

3D printed model of Cerros de Trasquilar & Cerro Santa Rosa peaks in Valles Caldera with a geologic chorochromatic map projected onto it.
Augmented Reality Sandtable created for my research. Based on designs and software created by the UC Davis W.M Keck Center for Active Visualization in the Earth Sciences. Consists of an Xbox 360 Kinect sensor, a projector, a custom-built frame, and a Linux computer. Picture located in the NMSU Geography Field Lab.
Augmented Reality Sandtable setup as used by students in research. Based on designs and software created by the UC Davis W.M Keck Center for Active Visualization in the Earth Sciences. Consists of an Xbox 360 Kinect sensor, a projector, a custom-built frame, and a Linux computer, combined with 3D printed terrain model of Cerros de Trasquilar & Cerro Santa Rosa peaks in Valles Caldera. Picture located in the NMSU Geography Field Lab.
3D printed model of the Valles Caldera, NM. The data source is SRTM. I created it to determine how large a single print could be on the machines I employed.
3D printed model of the Organ Mountains, Las Cruses, New Mexico. The data source is SRTM.
This video demonstrates the slicing process of a DEM in Cura to prepare a model for 3D printing. The model is created from an SRTM image, and will take 12 hours and 38 minutes to create.
3D printing is a time-consuming process. To avoid the need to reprint the same area, I used molds and resin to create copies. These three tiles are examples of copies, each created with a different mold type made from a 3D print of Mount St. Helens. The data source is SRTM.
