The Nebula wall is an interactive, touch-sensitive LED wall that can deliver a unique experience to both kids and adults. The Nebula is commonly used in healthcare, rehabilitation, leisure, educational and experience-oriented settings. In collaboration with healthcare professionals applications and games have been developed that can be used to offer clients more fun and effective therapies, specifically suited for these various settings. The core goal of the Nebula is to modernize care and to make care more engaging and approachable. With the various applications care and therapies become more fun, more effective and let the clients be in control by triggering their intrinsic motivation. Furthermore, with the Nebula wall it becomes possible to offer multiple clients the same therapy at the same time and to track the progress of clients with statistical data. The Nebula is made to measure and available in many different sizes to accommodate different settings. More info at www.nyoyn.com/products
