This Is Sand

About this Website

This Is Sand transforms your screen into a virtual sand art canvas. By clicking and dragging, you pour colored sand that falls and settles realistically, allowing you to create beautiful layered landscapes and patterns. The physics simulation is surprisingly accurate—the sand piles up and slides down slopes just as it would in a physical sand art frame. The color palette can be customized, and the meditative quality of watching the grains fall makes this both a creative outlet and a relaxation tool. It's a perfect example of how digital media can recreate tactile experiences in new and engaging ways.
