iMUSE - iMUSE for Complex Needs

iMUSE provides a relaxing and creative multi-sensory space where people can connect with the world around them, make their own choices and develop non-verbal ways of communicating. iMUSE uses interactive technology to enable people to:

  • Relax – a vibrating mattress gently massages the body. This calms and focuses the mind, relaxes muscle tone and reduces anxiety and stress.

  • Make Music – motion sensors detect movements and turn them into sounds.

  • Create visuals – a microphone picks up sounds and iMUSE transforms them into beautiful visuals and projects them into the iMUSE space.

  • Use switch technology – a switch enables choice of colour and pattern for the projected visuals.

Each 1-to-1 session lasts for 30 minutes. Our facilitator finds out which sounds, music and visuals help participants to relax and focus. These are then used to personalise their iMUSE experience.

Who benefits from iMUSE?

  • Anyone who responds to and enjoys music and sound.

  • Anyone looking for a creative, interactive or therapeutic activity that enhances wellbeing.

  • People with a range of learning, physical and cognitive disabilities, including those who experience anxiety, discomfort or pain.
