Experia showcases sensory technology at Hospitalar
8 June 2010
West Yorkshire based Experia exhibited the next generation in
sensory equipment, which provides a calming and stimulating learning
environment, at Hospitalar 2010 — the largest medical trade fair in
Latin America.
The range of IRiS sensory products are designed to provide an
intensive, full-body sensory experience to suit the needs of an
individual, whatever their age.
The interactive equipment uses unique technology to produce a
combination of smells, light, vibration and video projection. All
the products use wireless technologies, making them even more
accessible; allowing the user to have total freedom whilst enjoying
the experience.
Sensory products are aimed at special needs establishments,
mainstream schools, hospitals, day care centres, toy libraries,
nursing homes, adult resource/training centre, etc. They can be used
as part of an educational programme or just for fun; transporting a
person’s imagination around the world, to any destination or to any
particular time in history.
Proving
to be a success in the UK, revolutionary products such as the MILE
(Multisensory Interactive Learning Environment) are being widely
adopted in special needs and mainstream establishments across the
world.
Although sensory equipment is a relatively new concept to Latin
America there has been a recent growth in countries such as Chile
and Mexico and the company used Hospitalar 2010 to highlight its
many benefits for both users and their carers.
Gareth Jones from Experia, said: “All our products have the same
aim to offer innovation, accessibility and fun, regardless of the
user's age or ability. We combine creativity with the latest
technologies and the result is a truly unique learning environment,
which everyone can enjoy.”
