Sensory Space
Immersive Installations
Our immersive Sensory Space installations have been developed with our various partner organisations, featuring in events and spaces throughout the UK, engaging members of the public with a diverse range of interactive virtual experiences to provide unique opportunities for introspection, personal reflection and intimate dialogue.
Projects have included partnering with NHS (National Health Service, UK) on award-winning therapy and well-being programmes, with BBC for public outreach initiatives, as well as collaborations with numerous schools, colleges, universities, museums, arts, culture and national heritage organisations.
Through the use of immersive displays, surround-sound systems, motion sensor controllers and LED mood lighting, our Sensory Space installations offer a private, fully-automated experience, similar to stepping into the diary room of Big Brother, bringing the participants' interactions to life, stimulating intimate and honest exploration of ideas and perspectives.
Since our Sensory Space installations are highly versatile, they can be incorporated into a wide range of spaces, and can be custom-branded to feature content for any subject imaginable.

BBC Public Outreach
In partnership with BBC, our Sensory Space installations have explored participants' experiences, thoughts and feelings on a variety of subjects and have acquired somewhat of a cult status whilst touring to various public spaces around the UK.
BBC - 'Dave' (Digital Audio Visual Experience)
|
Visitors to Odeon Cinemas in Norwich and Norfolk and Norwich Millennium Library were invited by one of our BBC Sensory Space installations which housed the voice of 'Dave' (Digital Audio Visual Experience) to reflect on a diverse range of topics whilst being immersed in a series of atmospheric virtual environments.
Other surprise appearances have included visits to art galleries, museums, events and a number of schools and colleges. BBC Northern Ireland has also toured one of our Sensory Space installations to the Ulster Museum in Belfast and other public spaces and events to investigate key subjects such as education, culture, politics and community. |
Experiential Learning
Assisting Health Education
Our immersive Sensory Space installations have been developed through long-term research and development partnerships with the University of East Anglia and the University of York, in collaboration with the NHS (National Health Service, UK).
This ongoing work, which aims to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of our immersive installations to assist personal and social development, psychological therapies, rehabilitation and well-being, has been featured on national television (BBC and ITV) and on BBC News Online.

Student Creative Learning
Students in schools and colleges have been taking a creative approach to learning through using our Sensory Space installations as a 'Diary Pod' to reflect on their thoughts whilst immersed in a virtual world.
Our 'Diary Pod' installation has proven popular with young students at City Academy in Norwich who have been queuing up to engage with poetry through its immersive video display, special effects visuals and surround-sound audio.
Year 9 student, Ellie Ireland, describes her experience; "Sometimes poetry can be mega-boring but the 'pod' is a fun, modern way to learn, understand and enjoy poetry. Stepping inside the 'pod of wonder' feels like stepping into the diary room of Big Brother. It really does bring poetry to life and allows you to explore poetry in a way you never have before, interpreting feelings and meanings. As soon as you step in, a sensor is activated and a voice starts talking to you. You get asked questions about what you think of the poetry and how you feel about learning new poems. Who would have thought teenagers would be queuing up to learn about poetry?"
Nigel Youngman, Vice Principal at City Academy Norwich said; "This has been an exciting opportunity for us to look at the power of technology in helping our pupils to explore creativity. Working with new technologies gives our pupils wonderful possibilities and with Digital Technology as our specialism, it is precisely the sort of creative project we should be doing."

Museums Public Consultation
Norwich Castle Museum has used one of our Sensory Space installations as part of their £12m development plan to transform the Castle Keep by featuring the ghost of King Henry I who asked visitors of all ages for their help to restore his castle into the magnificent royal palace it was back in his time.
More than 250 people took part and their thoughts and ideas have helped shape ideas to redesign the whole visitor experience by recognising the Keep as the museum’s most important ‘exhibit’ and the Castle as one of Europe’s most important 12th century buildings.
Angela Riley, Project Officer, Keep Project said; “Using the 'booth' as a form of consultation was a new experience for Norfolk Museums Service. It proved to be a really effective way to interact with our visitors, particularly our younger ones, to gather ideas for how we can improve the Castle experience through our development project. The 'booth' created quite a buzz during a busy summer holiday period and the responses were just fantastic!”
