OptiMusic® - Interactive Light Beam Technology Controlling Music, Sound FX, Images, Videos & Lighting

The system enables users to interact with colourful beams of light (choose from 2, 4, 6, 8 or 12 beams) simply by passing a hand or other body-part through the beams - or by using a hand held reflective "Magic Wand". Each interaction triggers all types of audio-visual events in real-time.

This multi-sensory system revolutionises the way users communicate, learn and make choices. Its versatility enables it to be used as a musical instrument, an interactive story telling device, a virtual switch that is an effective communication aid. Users are empowered to influence their own environment. It can be calming and stimulating, fun and educational, challenging and creative.
