Lumen Loom
An adaptive projection system for sensory interaction and developmental support.
Overview
Lumen Loom is an interactive projection platform designed to support sensory development, regulated movement, and creative engagement. It blends motion-responsive visuals, gentle soundscapes, and tactile-inspired interaction into an immersive digital surface — turning floors, walls, and tabletops into responsive spaces for play, learning, and calm focus.
Built for therapeutic environments, classrooms, studios, and home neurodiversity spaces, Lumen Loom encourages sensory exploration, visual-motor coordination, cause-and-effect learning, and regulation through guided motion and light. The system emphasizes gentle interaction, controlled engagement, and user-paced exploration.
Why It Exists
People learn and regulate through motion, light, rhythm, and touch. Lumen Loom offers a controlled digital environment that bridges occupational therapy principles, interactive art thinking, assistive/sensory-friendly technology, and play-based developmental design. It isn’t a toy or a clinical machine — it is human technology designed for growth, presence, and agency.
Key Features
- Motion-responsive projection — body tracking, hand cues, and object interaction
- Adaptive sensory modes — Calm, Focus, Explore, Stimulate, Practice
- OT-aligned activity library — patterns for coordination, cause-effect, tracking, and balance
- Customizable experience levels — from low-stimulation to guided progression
- Portable integrated unit — single-enclosure computing + projection, plug-and-use
- Co-developed content — built with therapists and educators for measurable intent
Use Cases
- Sensory rooms & therapy clinics
- Early childhood learning spaces
- Neurodivergent home environments
- Calming / cool-down spaces
- Rehabilitation & movement support
- Community centers, libraries, adaptive arts programs
Principles
- Soft technology — friendly, not intimidating
- Movement invites learning — not forced tasks
- Calm first, stimulation second — regulated experience design
- Agency & discovery — success by exploration, not scoring
- Accessible interaction — body, gesture, object, or assisted use
Current Development Status
- Core projection + sensing engine complete
- Initial content modules built
- OT-aligned activity framework drafted
- Hardware integration & enclosure in design
- Seeking early testers & collaboration partners
This is a quiet-build, real-world-first development approach — no hype until it’s ready, no shortcuts on quality.
Call for Collaboration
We invite occupational therapists, special education professionals, families and neurodivergent self-advocates, sensory-environment designers, and arts-in-health researchers to help test and shape Lumen Loom.
