Sensory Wall

The Need

This team was responsible for completing the Sensory Cube prototypes that we sent to Ecuador in March 2016. They’re back to complete a similar project for a local organization, Lifestream, which caters to adults with severe physical and cognitive disabilities.

The Solution

To fit Lifestream's needs, the team is designing a new Sensory Wall that is meant to be a larger, more permanent fixture. Some of the sensory experiences on the wall will be taken directly from their work on the cube, but much of the wall will offer new experiences that are more relevant to Lifestream’s adult clientele. In particular, the therapists at Lifestream are interested in experiences that encourage their patients to practice real-life motions, such as flipping a light switch.
