If you are looking for an inclusive activity for your care or educational setting, look at the Mobii Interactive systems. I can vouch for their effectiveness, having worked for the company. This was until COVID closed care homes in the early weeks of the pandemic. Mobii Interactive Systems are available to rent or buy and are a wonderful addition to any setting.

Ideal for people with dementia.

These motion-activated projectors are brilliant for people with dementia. The projections respond to the slightest of movements, whether this be a person’s hand or as a result of rolling a ball across the table. The beauty is that there’s no right or wrong way to achieve a positive outcome.

I have seen people with dementia respond to using one of these systems when they don’t engage in other activities.

Suitable for use on any surface

Originally designed for use on floors or tables, the system works surprisingly well on someone’s bed or lap when used with a light-coloured sheet. This provides a calming, sensory experience for someone receiving palliative care, and is one of the most inclusive activities available.

Multitude of Apps

Each system comes with over 100 pre-installed apps. Choose from wild bird songs in the countryside to fish in the sea. There is something for all interests and all abilities. You can select games, quizzes or just some slap-dash fun! Some of my personal favourites were the berry splat, where you squash raspberries and blackberries – very satisfying. There are also  egg-cracking games.
