Control an SHX sensory room with the Sensory Cube

The Sensory Cube is a wireless controller that turns interaction into something intuitive and playful. It allows users to activate and control different elements of the space, either individually or simultaneously. Imagine changing the colors of your sensory room lighting simply by rolling a dice. Each face of the cube can be customised with an image, making it easy to design unique sensory sessions and adapt activities to different goals, users, or moments.

Changing the colors of your Luminea devices has never been so fun and educational. This interaction supports the development of skills such as cause-and-effect understanding, joint attention, and fine motor skills.

With the Sensory Cube, you simply roll the cube and watch as the colors of your Luminea lighting devices change. Your bubble tube, fiber optics, ball pool, and LED lights can all light up according to the color shown on the cube. The experience can be further enriched by combining it with the Luminea App, opening up even more possibilities for sensory stimulation and play.

Users actively engage in this immersive experience, encouraging skills such as choice-making, memory, and communication.

Interaction through movement with the Sensory Step 

The Sensory Step is a wireless, color-coded mat that gives you full control of your multisensory room. Like the Sensory Cube, it allows users to control Luminea devices individually or change the audiovisual scenes included in the SHX System.

This mat is ideal for those looking for a simple and versatile setup. Imagine changing the lighting colors with a single step or transforming the room into a new themed environment just by stepping on the mat.

Step on yellow to change the colors of the bubble tube, jump on red to switch the fiber optics or ball pool. Interaction with the Sensory Step places users at the center of the experience, encouraging active participation in sensory stimulation and supporting learning and development.

The Sensory Step allows you to control your multisensory environment using your feet. Simply step on one of the colored buttons and transform the entire room into a new themed environment. Images, videos, sounds, vibrations, and other immersive effects can be triggered just by stepping on the mat—promoting active engagement and the development of social skills, among others.

Bring objects to life with SHX Proximity

SHX Proximity offers an innovative way to interact within a multisensory room. This technology allows real objects to be used to modify the environment and transform the room into a themed space directly linked to those objects.

Simply place any object on the SHX Proximity tray and watch as the entire room comes to life with lighting, images, sounds, vibrations, and more.

SHX Proximity is very easy to use. The system includes cards and stickers that can be programmed to trigger SHX content. Each card or sticker can be customized and linked to specific scenes or activities.

Once the programmed object is placed on the tray, the room delivers the immersive experience you have assigned.

Explore multisensory spaces through objects with the Magic Table

The Magic Table is another exciting way to interact within a multisensory room. By using real objects, users can transform the entire space into a themed environment connected to what they place on the table.

Simply place an object on the Magic Table and the room comes alive. Lights, images, sounds, music, vibrations, and other multisensory effects activate together, creating a fully immersive experience. An object can instantly transport users to the jungle, space, the sea, or any environment you choose.

The system is fully customizable, allowing you to create your own thematic environments using personal images, videos, and sounds.

It also opens up valuable therapeutic and educational opportunities. By associating everyday objects—such as toys, pictures, materials, or cards—with multisensory content, it supports attention, interaction, memory, cause-and-effect understanding, and communication.

Easy to configure and fully integrated into the SHX System, the Magic Table combines tangible interaction with immersive technology to create meaningful, engaging sensory experiences.

Experience control with Button 6

Button 6 is a versatile controller with six buttons that makes interaction with multisensory room elements simple and intuitive.

By touching different buttons, users can activate and change sensory elements such as lighting, colors, or effects, either individually or across the whole room.

It can be used both with Luminea lighting devices and as a controller for the SHX System allowing sessions to be adapted to different needs and objectives. Its flexible configuration makes it easy to adjust how the environment responds, supporting clear, accessible, and meaningful interaction.

With Button 6, users gain precise and adaptable control over the sensory space, encouraging participation and cause-and-effect understanding.

In summary

There are multiple control methods that make it possible to interact with an SHX Sensory Room in meaningful and accessible ways. By adapting how people engage with the space, these tools support learning, communication, and sensory regulation across a wide range of needs.

These sensory environments, equipped with advanced technology, offer an immersive and interactive sensory experience. With the correct therapeutic approach, they can have very positive impacts on the quality of life of elderly or dependent people, contributing to improving their health, autonomy, and mood.

The importance of sensory stimulation in elderly or dependent people

As we age and become more dependent, challenges to our health and well-being can arise. These include the decline in physical, cognitive, and sensory abilities, as well as loss of autonomy or lack of motivation. These challenges can affect the quality of life, mood, motor skills, and social abilities.

Sensory stimulation is a therapeutic leisure and well-being tool that aims to regulate the senses (sight, hearing, touch, proprioception) to improve the physical, emotional, and cognitive well-being of individuals.

These rooms allow for the activation, calming, or stimulation of the senses in a controlled environment where stimuli are adjustable by the therapist and controllable by the user. Thus, the elderly interact within a space filled with lights, images, sounds, and videos projected on the wall, experiencing various immersive experiences without leaving the room.

For example, they can be transported to a paradisiacal beach with just the press of a button, feeling the wind on their face and the vibration of the waves, or recall daily life concepts.

Benefits of sensory stimulation for the Elderly

• Cognitive rehabilitation: Sensory stimulation activates neural connections, promoting attention, memory, and thinking. This can help maintain and improve cognitive functions.
• Improvement of agnosias: The stimulation of the senses helps improve agnosias, aiding the elderly in their ability to interpret or recognize what they see or hear.
• Mood enhancement: Sensory stimulation can be pleasurable and relaxing, helping to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. These positive sensory experiences can improve mood and promote emotional well-being.
• Reduction of disruptive behaviors and apathy: It has been shown that the proper use of these resources provides experiences that help users reduce disruptive behaviors and apathy, which can accelerate deterioration.
• Promotion of social interaction: Shared sensory experiences in a stimulating environment can foster social interaction and communication, creating opportunities for emotional connection and social participation.

The role of new technologies in sensory stimulation

New technologies have revolutionized the way sensory stimulation can be provided to the elderly or dependent individuals. Qinera’s rooms with proprietary technology include elements like Proximity, a small platform where placing any object will project it on the wall accompanied by sounds, music, and lights as configured.

For example, we can place a toy elephant on the Proximity, and it will be projected on the wall while we hear it through the room’s speakers. All the lights in the room turn yellowish (representing the savannah), and the fan activates to make us feel there. We can choose any item, such as a fruit, and use it to remember old recipes or the person’s favorite dish.

These advanced technologies allow for greater flexibility and variety in sensory experiences, as they are fully customizable, adapting to each person’s preferences and needs. We can work on autobiographical memory and recognition by incorporating photographs of family members or old videos. We can also recall daily activities, object names, work on short-term memory, episodic memory, etc.

The idea came from the desire to promote Luminea corner within the country. However, many customers expressed hesitation in purchasing these products without first confirming their applicability and benefits. That’s when Rehavista had an idea: what if customers could test the products without the commitment to buy? The challenge was to find a way to offer all the benefits of this little multisensory space without the need for permanent installation.

The Luminea Corner itinerary

After discussion and planning, Rehavista was inspired to create an itinerary Luminea space. Their team would take Qinera products to various cities across the country, allowing people to experience them without any commitment, just the one to actively promote Luminea on social media. 

Why Luminea Corner? because of several good reasons:

• It’s a bundle that enables the creation of a small multisensory space filled with therapeutic opportunities. 
• Its installation is incredibly simple
• Scalable 
• Interactive
• Easy to transport: Rehavista’s team realised that all project elements could fit in a large car.

What are the plan’s details?

First, decide how centres across the country could apply to participate in the tour and the eligibility requirements. Their marketing strategy was grounded in a mix of social media, newsletters, paper brochures, and strategic networking with their target institutions. The idea was straightforward: centres could apply to experience the Luminea Corner for a period of 7 to 14 days. After this period, the products would be collected and moved to the next destination. Rehavista would choose the eligible centers based on criteria such as target groups, location, and a brief description of why they should be chosen.

The next step was logistic planning. To make things slightly easier, a shorter bubble tube was made (160cm height).  Now, all they needed to do was plan the travel schedule and promote the project. At the end of the tour, one centre would be chosen by lottery to purchase the bundle with a discount. The aftermath? 

• Results exceed expectations
• 12 centres actively participated
• 9 placed orders for Luminea Corner
• 2 awaiting funds for purchase

Moreover, many centres decided to invest in additional elements beyond those offered in the bundle, creating even more comprehensive multisensory environments. In one location, a complete SHX room installation was carried out!

A sensory journey

This sensory journey brought benefits not only to Rehavista but also to the centres, schools, and, most importantly, to the people who now have access to therapeutic multisensory environments in their communities. This is a testament to how innovative ideas and dedication can open doors and create an impact. They’re already planning to do it all over again. What’s more, they warmly encourage our partners and fellow adventurers to consider this path, generously sharing their invaluable experience.

With each Luminea Tour, we’re not just spreading light; we’re illuminating lives and redefining possibilities.

The struggle to integrate the sensations that are perceived, those provided by the senses, can lead to difficulties in learning, playing, interacting with other children, carrying out daily activities…

Javier has autistic spectrum disorder. He is not a very receptive child and has little responsiveness. For him, it is essential to know the environment and to know in which specific space the activities are carried out. With Javier we work with proprioceptive activities, adapted to his needs, for which we use the different elements of the multisensory classroom.

Enhancing proprioception in the sensory classroom

CEIP Alto Ebro is an ordinary school where there is a special education classroom. Seeking the greatest possible integration of special education students, breaks are taken together with the rest of the students in the school. Sometimes, however, as in Javier’s case, the small sensory stimulation room we have in the special classroom is used during the break.

Javier suffers from hyperreactivity to sensory stimuli and responds adversely to high-pitched and loud sounds. He is also visually fascinated by lights or spinning objects. Contexts with stimulus overload (lots of lights, loud sounds, people moving fast, crowds…) are a challenge for him. Break time upsets him and, for this reason, we arrange sessions in the sensory classroom for him.

“Proprioception is the sense that lets us perceive the location, movement, and action of parts of the body”.

Our aim when working with Javier is to stimulate him. Each child is unique, just as their needs. And Javier likes to know where the activities will take place and what materials will be used. For this reason, before the activities, we create moments for Javier to interact with the materials in the stimulation classroom, so that he gets to know them, knows what they do and can interact with them. It is essential for him to be familiar with the environment.

“Back to calm” in the sensory classroom

To achieve calm and relaxation after this overstimulation, we schedule an individualised session in the sensory stimulation room at our school. Our aim is to create a sense of safety, help Javier to integrate his sensations and achieve physical and mental relaxation.

Overloading him with stimuli is not advisable, so we start the session with relaxing music, at a low volume. After a few minutes, we add some activity to the bubble tube, with a steady and continuous vibration. We change the colour of the column (within a palette of cold colours, since they are relaxing) in a slow sequence, which is varied by Javier himself thanks to the button panel (button 6). We act as his guide, directing his hand, as he lacks the intention to do it independently.

After a few minutes, we leave the blue light fixed on the bubble tube and add a gentle vibration to the armchair or rocking chair in which he is sitting. If we don’t have a vibro-acoustic chair, we can transform the foam furniture we have thanks to the Qinera converter element.

Sometimes, we also work with fibre optics before introducing vibration, as a tactile and proprioceptive element, always seeking calm and relaxation, with cold colours (blue, green, violet…).

“We are constantly observing his reactions, since he doesn’t react to the same stimuli in the same way every day. That’s why we integrate them one by one, individually, observing his response”. Verónica Herrero Prieto (Therapeutic Pedagogy at the Special Education Classroom)

Looking for a little more relaxation, we work with the weighted blanket, as it is a great proprioceptive stimulus that helps him to regulate himself. Progressively, we vary its location on Javier (on the shoulders, shoulder girdle, pelvic girdle…). By providing deep pressure, we are giving him a tactile and proprioceptive stimulus, thus working on sensory difficulties. It is a pressure that is exerted on different areas and which provides a sensation similar to being held or firmly caressed. The aim of this activity is to enhance the feeling of calm and reduce anxiety.

Depending on his responses and reactions, we sometimes continue to work on proprioception with the different rollers, balls and proprioceptive elements that we have, always starting with deep pressure on a part of his body, which we gradually reduce throughout the session, concluding with the brushes with which we carry out much more superficial proprioceptive work.

“Proprioceptive work helps us to improve aspects such as posture, balance, muscle tone, gravitational security and coordination. All of this has a positive impact on Javier’s ability to self-regulate and organise his movement”. Alicia López Marcos (Physiotherapist)

There are no magic solutions for working with students with this type of disorder. At the school, we work to incorporate resources and materials that benefit our students in some way.
