KidsOut visit to assess Sensory Space

KidsOut visited today to have a look at the Portable Sensory Space that we are putting together for them. This is a prototype which they are hoping to put into a school before the end of the year.

Due to the size we built it at the lighting company premises, which also meant we could try out different lighting effects. The structure turned out to be a lot larger than it looked on paper and it was immediately decided to only build half the structure as the final unit. The basic premise worked well, but we now need to develop some of the ideas further for a second assessment visit in July.

The unit will incorporate a number of key effects including colour change lighting, a gobo projector, a bubble tube, a mirror ball and soft play elements.
