Magic Tables
Many care homes use magic tables comprising a ceiling-mounted projector with an infrared sensor which projects simple light-animated games onto a sur face. Aimed at those with mid-to-late stage dementia (and children with learning difficulties and autism), users interact with the games — which include bursting bubbles, catching fish and bouncing a beach ball – independently or with relatives or carers. “They don’t require concentration and are simple and interactive,” explains Pam.
