Testimonial

It has been amazing to see the quality of teacher pedagogy in our unit reach new highs … Given the complex sensory needs of the students in the classrooms it is sometimes tricky to find sensory activities which can be calming for some yet giving others the right amount of stimulation. The magic carpet seemed to be the answer to that … This has significantly increased the academic learning time in our classrooms.

The use of the interactive projection ensured that students developed skills to independently engage in leisure activities without any intrusive hand over hand assistance … This experience of being independent not only has increased their engagement but has also started developing their confidence which has been amazing to see!! Students are also beginning to see value in reaching out and moving their body as the sensory stimulation has been a great reinforcement!

Given the mix of complexities in our cohort often the educators find that we are forced to work in smaller groups and on a one-on-one basis. The multiple user interaction model of the magic carpet ensured that we could work with the students in whole groups. Being able to give whole group instruction often served as a first step in the learning process and supported educators to determine a baseline for learning and assessment.

Interactive floors and tables

Responsive surfaces for interaction, therapy and play. Magic Carpet™ removes many of the barriers people face when interacting in mixed ability groups by offering a universally accessible interaction platform. Magic Carpet™ enables everyone to participate on equal terms and helps to create an inclusive play environment.

  • Responsivity – The slightest movement over the projected image will cause an audiovisual effect response. User interaction creates real-time communication feedback with the content and allows games and activities to be responsive to body movement.
  • Interaction – Magic Carpet™ allows multiple users to interact at the same time using a variety of different inputs, opening up a world of collaborative exploration and play. Output the image to a second monitor to enable eye gaze users to interact with peers that use body movements.
  • Dynamics – Magic Carpet™ applications offer dynamic physics capabilities allowing movements to interact with virtual objects in a realistic way. Physics properties can be adapted so that small movements can be amplified to create a larger audiovisual effect.
  • Stimulation – Magic Carpet™ caters for a wide range of needs with applications designed for early stimulation, exploration and engagement. From simple coloured effects to realistic fish ponds, quizzes and games, Magic Carpet™ provides variable stimulation levels for the needs of a wide range of people.
  • Kinaesthesis – Participants use their limbs and body to interact with the content, helping to enhance their sense of movement while shifting position, orientation and reaching out to interact with game objects. Magic Carpet™ is designed to get people moving and exploring their environment in a safe way.
