What is a gross motor development system?
The system uses a large screen and an optical sensor to capture body positions and send them to interactive software. Children control activities with their arms, legs and trunk.
Motion-tracking technology has appeared in advertising and retail, including interactive displays and virtual fitting rooms. Briolight adapted the approach for educational and developmental activities.
Purpose
Activities can support coordination, movement planning and the practice of gross motor skills through games. Gross motor skills involve large muscle groups and coordinated actions such as walking, jumping and throwing. As children grow, many movements become more automatic, although some need additional practice.
The original article presented an interactive Briolight panel with a gross motor development module as a combined solution for schools, kindergartens and Inclusive Resource Centres.
Why combine the system with a panel?
- One setup offers touchscreen activities and a separate movement-tracking system.
- Purchasing both together may reduce later integration costs.
- Gesture-based control gives children another way to interact with learning materials.
- Software can be expanded or improved over time.
The original 2020 configuration listed six applications and anticipated a significant update. Those plans should not be interpreted as the current product specification.
The system was also available within a customised interactive room. Contact Briolight to discuss present configurations: +38 (063) 258-15-15.
