Interactive projector creates magic in memory care
Something magical is happening inside memory care assisted living at Good Samaritan Society – Prairie Creek. “It’s almost magic,” activities coordinator Brittany Foos said with a laugh. “I mean, it really is.” It’s called a Tovertafel. The Dutch word translates to “magic table” in English. “It’s this whole different almost world for them that they can move and interact with,” Foos said. The interactive projector is mounted to the ceiling above a table or flat surface. From there, the Tovertafel projects vibrant images in the form of games and activities aimed at purposeful play, especially for residents who are nonverbal.
