Transform any space into a limitless world of sensory exploration with our expert range of immersive rooms and interactive projection systems.
At Mike Ayres Design, we believe that a room is never just a room - it is a canvas for imagination, learning, and therapeutic engagement. Our Immersive Rooms and Interactive Projection Rooms are designed to transport users to calming landscapes, stimulating gaming environments, or educational worlds without ever leaving the building.
Whether you are looking to install a complete immersive sensory room in a school, hospital, or care home, or simply need flexible school projectors that move with you, we have the technology to make it happen.
Why Choose an Immersive Sensory Room?
An immersive room uses cutting-edge projection technology to create a fully encompassing experience. By projecting images onto walls, floors, or ceilings, you can create a shared space that is inclusive for everyone, regardless of physical ability.
Inclusive Interaction: From tracking the smallest eye movement to full-body gestures, our systems allow everyone to participate.
Educational Value: Turn a floor into a geography lesson or a wall into a mathematics quiz with our interactive school projectors.
Calming & Regulation: Instantly switch from a high-energy activity to a soothing, starry night sky to help de-escalate anxiety and regulate sensory needs.
