December 2016 – a modern social rehabilitation centre for children with disabilities opened in Kyiv.
Briolight developed a special interactive room for this centre, with participation from educators, engineers, designers and researchers. The Kyiv.Life television report shows the installations in action.
Equipment in the interactive room
- Gross motor module: optical tracking of arms, legs and torso turns body movement into game input.
- Fine motor module: a desktop sensor detects finger and wrist coordinates at distances up to 50 cm for movement planning activities.
- Interactive floor and wall: projection sensors respond to movements in real time.
- Interactive sandbox: projected imagery changes as children move the sand.
- Interactive panel: the historical system used a 43-inch LCD touchscreen with educational applications.
- Speech therapy mirror: the device could record up to 20 seconds of speech and play the recording repeatedly at adjustable volume.
The report described Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko's interest in the new centre and the aim to provide local access to modern rehabilitation services.
