SensoryOne is delighted to congratulate OM Interactive (OMi) on being named Care Facilities & Equipment Provider of the Year 2026 at the South West Care Awards. The honor recognizes OMi’s continued commitment to interactive technology that supports meaningful engagement, well-being and quality of life for people living in care.

For care providers across the United States and Canada, this recognition reinforces the value of technology designed around participation—not passive observation. As the exclusive North American distributor of OMi technology, SensoryOne supplies omiVista interactive projection systems and Budii interactive projectors for long-term care, memory care, senior living and other therapeutic environments.

Recognition Built on More Than 20 Years of Innovation

OMi has spent more than two decades developing motion-activated sensory technology for care, education and special-needs settings. Its systems transform everyday surfaces—including tables, floors, walls and even beds—into interactive environments that respond to simple movements and gestures.

OMi’s announcement of the 2026 award recognizes the for developing accessible experiences that encourage movement, social interaction, reminiscence and meaningful activity in care environments.

That combination is particularly valuable in long-term care. A familiar song, an image connected to a resident’s past or a simple group game can create an approachable invitation to participate. Activities can be selected for gentle stimulation, active movement, shared enjoyment or calming engagement, allowing care teams to adapt sessions to different residents, abilities and moments throughout the day.

Supporting Meaningful Engagement in Dementia Care

For people living with dementia or cognitive decline, successful programming is rarely one-size-fits-all. Residents may have different levels of mobility, communication, attention and comfort with technology. Interactive projection offers a flexible way to bring activities to the individual or group, without requiring headsets, handheld controllers or complicated instructions.

Within senior and dementia-care environments, OMi systems can help care teams create opportunities for:

• Reminiscence and personal connection: Familiar photographs, music and themes can encourage conversation and shared memories.
• Gentle physical participation: Residents can reach, tap, sweep or move in response to projected activities at a level suited to their abilities.
• Social engagement: Group games and collaborative activities can create laughter, conversation and positive interaction among residents, families and staff.
• Cognitive stimulation: Quizzes, puzzles, cause-and-effect activities and familiar themes can invite attention and participation.
• Calming sensory experiences: Soothing visuals, music and slower-paced activities can be selected when relaxation is the goal.

The objective is not simply to place more technology in a care setting. It is to give staff another practical, inclusive way to create moments of connection and purposeful activity.

Flexible OMi Systems for Different Care Environments

Care communities vary considerably. Some need a system that can travel between activity rooms and resident rooms, while others want a fixed installation that is always ready in a dedicated space. OMi offers options for both.

The flagship omiVista range includes the mobile omiVista Mobii, along with fixed projection systems for tables, floors and walls. The optional Care/Dementia Activity Suite provides more than 200 activities created for older adults with cognitive challenges, with themes that encourage reminiscence, movement, mental stimulation and shared participation. Staff can also add personal photographs, music and other meaningful content to support more individualized experiences.

The compact Budii offers a budget-friendly alternative in fixed and mobile configurations. Depending on the setup selected, Budii can project interactive activities onto tables, floors, walls, ceilings and beds. Its simple controls and flexible installation options make it practical for care homes, therapy rooms and organizations that want to share one system across different spaces.

SensoryOne can help organizations compare the available systems, projection surfaces, activity suites and installation options before choosing the most appropriate configuration.

Valuable Beyond Long-Term Care

This award specifically recognizes OMi’s contribution to the care sector, and that should remain the central story. However, the inclusive design behind the technology also makes it valuable in other settings.

OMi and Budii systems are used in schools and classrooms to encourage movement, collaborative learning and sensory regulation. They are also used in special-needs and therapeutic settings supporting children and adults with autism, ADHD, developmental disabilities, sensory-processing differences and physical challenges.

The activity content may change, but the underlying strength is consistent: responsive, multisensory experiences can make participation more accessible, motivating and enjoyable for people with a wide range of needs.
