 Acknowledgement We acknowledge the funding of the FWF through Grant No. WKP 67 (“Wissenschaftskommunikationsprogramm”), and the forerunner project P23617 ("Comprehensive Investigation of wet Powder Blending"). A major overhaul of the Virtual Sandbox was enabled by the projects "MatheGRAM" and "CALIPER" (Marie Skłodowska Curie grant agreements No 812638 and 813202). The Virtual Sandbox” is based on the “Augmented Reality Sandbox” project supported by the NSF Grant No. DRL 1114663.
