Visionary digital multimedia artist Professor Tony Brooks, PhD, has utilised his unique art form combined with Reflexite’s products to help children with different abilities express and communicate in new ways, and has won numerous awards for his achievements.

Working with children with physical disability Brooks uses the Reflexite’s micro prismatic retro-reflective film to enhance the interactive spaces that the children perform in making the experience more fulfilling as the child does not have to wear sensors/computers.

The communication tool has been developed over many years, and involves non-invasive infrared sensors which are combined with Reflexite products and enable what Brooks has termed as ‘volumetric information space’ (VIS). This combination enables a person's movement within an invisible large space to play music and paint pictures without having to define environmental conditions such as light dynamic which is an often problematic hindrance.

Commenting Brook’ says that "Without the attributes and support of Reflexite which I have been fortunate to explore and receive since the mid 1990's I would never have found this unique interactive space and the potentials in helping others achieve an improved quality of life - I now look forward to the next explorations of optical matching of light to reflector in my work".

Reflexite are delighted to be involved in this pioneering project as it reinforces Reflexite’s interest into research and development and utilising the latest technology available to enhance life as well as safety.
