At the Naidex exhibition, there were a number of specialised companies and charities exhibiting products for people with a disability. bespoken had the privilege to see a demonstration of the interactive wall projection system produced by the OM Interactive.

 The interactive wall projection system is called omiReflex and it is powered by EyeClick™. It is an interactive system which projects dynamic images onto vertical surfaces (whiteboards, walls, projector screens…).

The system is composed of two different cameras: the first one tracks the movements of the user, and the second one captures live images and places them in real-time on the screen. It responds to users movements in space and it displays a live image of the user within the game.

The game is fully customisable; it is possible to add images, sounds and videos. Pictures or objects are scattered onto the screen and the user has to play with them to succeed their missions. The user can also look at themselves on the screen. At that time, the screen is seen as a magic mirror by the user.

This system is increasingly used to help teachers and therapists to record student progress. It is very interactive but limited to one player. Two training sessions are provided and it is supplied with an Activity Monitoring Template.

It is possible to buy the system either as an installation or as a mobile version.
