A sense of control
Being able to change the lights or sounds yourself can support a sense of control.
A room the person can control.
Lights, sounds and textures that the person can change themselves — built for people who find sensory input hard to manage, and want a way to manage it on their own terms.
- Touch panels, light panels and motion sensors
- The person controls their own environment
- Shared sessions can support social interaction
Built around sensory sensitivity.
The interactive sensory room is designed with sensory sensitivities and social interaction in mind. Lights, sounds and textures are curated so the experience can be personalised to each person’s comfort level.
The standout feature is that it’s user-controlled: the person can adjust their own environment, which gives them a way to self-regulate rather than simply respond to whatever the room happens to be doing.
