    Hello everyone! I am a student and built an AR sandbox for my university. For the installation and system configuration I followed the instructions at https://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/~okreylos/ResDev/SARndbox/SoftwareInstallation.htm. Now I have two problems:
    1. You can’t make it rain at certain points by holding your hand over a certain area.
    2. Even without intervention, water slowly continues to collect in the depressions.
    However, making it rain globally using button 1 and draining the water using button 2 works.

    Hope you have some helpful advice for me.

    I searched the forum for helpful tips and tried a few things. Unfortunately without the hoped for success. When I hold my hand (with fingers spread wide) over the sand surface, about halfway between the surface and the Kinect V2, nothing happens. If I hold my hand directly over the sand surface, it is interpreted as a terrain element and a “Mount Manus” is created πŸ˜‰. If I then slowly move my hand upwards, some water is generated, but not really concentrated and not continuous either. I also tried different distances. With the “Water Tool” it is possible to create water in those places where I previously placed the mouse pointer. The global heavy rain and draining the water via function keys also works perfectly. Unfortunately, the β€œhand as a rain cloud” doesn’t work. And still, without intervention, water slowly continues to collect in the depressions. The sandbox will be opened to the public in the next few days as part of a mineralogical exhibition. It would be cool if a solution could be found. Thanks!
