Snoezelen Projects • Snoezelen visor/helmet • Tactile panel • “Disco Ball” room lamp
Design Requirements and Constraints • Safety • Reliability • Cost • Feasibility • Aesthetics • Portability • Relaxing • Easy to use
Snoezelen Visor/Helmet • Helmet • Plexiglas visor with etchings • Headphones with mp3 player • Audio and visual stimuli
Tactile Panel • An interactive panel design to stimulate senses in an entertaining fashion. • Touch sensor • LEDs • Vibrating motor • Speakers
“Disco ball/lamp” • A tube with colored filtered filters and a central light source to project light. • Rotating central tube to move light filters. • Rotating hemisphere on top to project light onto the ceiling. • Speaker base to play soothing music.
Final Decision“Disco Ball”/Lamp • Costs about as much as the other two options • More durable • More feasible to build within our timeframe • Similar to existing Snoezelen rooms • Brings Snoezelen room to the client’s house • Not within proximity to cause danger during use • No user input, so easy to use
Cost • Speakers - $15.00 • Mp3 Player - $10.00 • Bright lights - $5.00 • Motors - $3.00 • Transformer and Wall Plug - $17.00 • Framework and Case - $30.00 • Electronics components - $10.00 Total = about $90.00
