A water panel with glowing bubbles: the bubble tube becomes an entire wall. In this guide you will find what this tool is for, the activities you can do in a SENSEi room and some tips for getting the most out of it.

What is a bubble wall

A bubble wall is a vertical water panel in which bubbles rise between coloured lights. It has the same magic as a bubble tube but on a wide surface, often combined with a seat to lean against.

Why in a SENSEi room

Alongside the SENSEi projections, the bubble wall adds depth and a soft light that changes with the scenario. It is ideal for creating a decompression corner inside the room.

The SENSEi room is controlled from a tablet: the adult chooses the scenario and adjusts intensity, speed and volume, so that each session adapts to the person and not the other way round.

Activities to try

• Calm corner: sitting with your back against the wall, you listen to the bubbles and breathe to their rhythm.
• Guided breathing: the bubbles speed up and slow down to accompany a slow exhalation.
• Colour hunt: look around the room for objects of the same colour as the wall.
• Underwater story: the wall becomes the ocean of the story projected on the wall next to it.

Who it is useful for

Autism centres, schools with regulation spaces, residences for older people.

Tips for use and safety

It requires a water supply for the initial filling and periodic maintenance. It must be securely fixed to the wall.

Frequently asked questions

Does a bubble wall also work on its own?

Yes, but it works best within a multisensory environment in which projections, sounds, lights and other tools tell the same experience. This is the principle behind SENSEi rooms.

Can it be added to an existing room?

Often, yes. Each room grows out of a project shared with those who will use it: we start from the spaces, the people and the goals, then choose the most suitable tools.
