Abstract

Practical lab exercises and haptic games are often used to create understanding and awareness of how technologies can support the quality of warehouse operations. However, not all students have access to a suitable physical lab or game environment. A Mixed reality sandbox mode was planned, a game mode of free form that emphasises freedom of movement and offers the player a lot of flexibility and ingenuity in completing tasks and coming up with solutions to the game objectives with a combination of Augmented Reality and physical tools. The purpose of playing this game is to promote the importance of using sensors to increase the efficiency of inbound logistics remotely.
