Yes / The subject area of the Europe's Lost Frontiers project, the submerged landscape of Doggerland, is inaccessible and the data by which we can understand it is complex and hard for the non-specialist to understand. In order to be able to present the project at public events, an Augmented Reality sandbox was constructed, which records the shape of sand in a box, interprets it as a landscape inhabited by humans, animals and plants, and projects this simulated land back on to the sand. Different software packages can be used to highlight the effects of climate change or provide examples of the different types of evidence available to archaeologists researching submerged landscapes. The end result is an interactive, accessible display which attracts all ages and can be used as a starting point to conversation regarding the project's archaeological, scientific and technological aspects.

A study was carried out regarding the types of education, the functioning of technological museums and the rules regarding interactive technological attractions. Resulting in the definition of three pillars for analysis: complexity, effectiveness and fun. These items were evaluated through an observational field survey conducted at the Science Station and the Itaipu Tourist Complex, both in Foz do Iguaçu, where participants interacted with the Sandbox. At the end, the conclusions were positive and the Sandbox was effective in meeting the three evaluated items. / Seguindo o processo de modernização em museus este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar a ferramenta Sandbox como atração interativa tecnológica em museus e institutos de ciência visando se adequar a esses novos conceitos de museu. Dessa forma, foi realizado um estudo referente aos tipos de educação, o funcionamento de museus tecnológicos e as normas referentes a atrações tecnológicas interativas. Resultando na definição de três pilares para análise: complexidade, efetividade e diversão. Esses itens foram avaliados através de uma pesquisa de campo observacional realizadas no Estação Ciência e no Complexo Turístico de Itaipu, ambos em Foz do Iguaçu, onde os participantes interagiram com o Sandbox. Ao fim, as conclusões foram positivas e o Sandbox foi eficaz em atender os três itens avaliados.
