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.

Ha, I've thought about adding a small fan too. Definitely need to do that.

Do you have a picture of the installation at the science museum?

The color just rotates through the oklab space (change hue only).

We had this at Clemson University about 10 years ago. I think the whole design came out of an MIT lab though. There's video of it still up here: https://www.clemsongis.org/clemson-sandbox
