LOU-HI® -Sound Mat
INNOVATIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT TO SUPPORT LEARNING, GROWTH, AND DEVELOPMENT
Sound Mat brings an innovative tool that helps solve today's key pedagogical challenges. The Sound Mat brings a strong physicality to learning, strengthening learning results and increasing students' motivation. Understanding conceptual, abstract phenomena becomes easier when learning involves a bodily dimension.
In addition to informed learning outcomes, pedagogy should also support other areas of children's and youth's growth, such as the development of creativity, interaction skills, and cooperative skills. The physical form of the mat encourages children to interact with each other and solve problems together by thinking, listening, discussing, and moving.
The Sound Mat has many pedagogical strengths:
- Combines exercise and physicality with learning (physical learning)
- Strengthens the development of interaction skills (cooperative learning, learning emotional skills)
- Particularly suitable for integration between educational subjects (phenomenon-based learning)
- Supports the development of children's creativity
LOU-HI® -Sound Mat
- TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION
The Sound Mat has 16 touch-sensitive, programmable sensors. The mat uses a pattern of symbols that can be changed to match the sound world by placing on them pictures, symbols, or materials that stick to different subjects with stickers (for example animals, nature pictures, means of transport, musical instruments, and facial expressions for processing emotional skills, soft/rough/plastic-like materials, etc.). Pictures customized for the customer can also be printed on the surface of the carpet.
The sound can be changed, and it is possible to place the sounds on the carpet in different orders. The finished product comes with instrument sounds, nature sounds, bird sounds, traffic sounds, everyday sounds, and emotional phrases.
The Sound Mat is connected to a tablet (iPad) or computer using a USB cable. The electronics in the device contain a battery that lasts an average of nine hours. Selecting the sound world and modifying the sensors is done with the help of an application that can be downloaded from the Apple Store (KAiKU Control). The Sound Mat can also be connected to other midi-compatible applications in different operating systems (Apple, Android, Windows).
The mat is made of durable material, under which sensors that detect body contact are placed. Thanks to this, moving on the carpet does not damage the sensors. The Sound mat can be rolled up and easily moved to different rooms with the help of a carrying bag. The Sound Mat can also be used to control a video game. The Scale Space video game is designed to activate children's movement, develop eye and body coordination, and at the same time learn different audio content (tunes, recognizing the sounds of birds, etc.).
