Integrex design, manufacture and install IT equipment that is innovative, immersive, and interactive. Providing tailored sensory solutions for individual clients, educational services, and retailers across the UK for over 40 years. They have three main products designed specifically for people with additional needs called the Visilift+ and SENse; along with fully immersive rooms, allowing users to interact with images through movement.
VisiLift+ is a height-adjustable, interactive, multi-touch screen that comes with built-in software, games, themes, and images. The multi-touch displays allow several people to interact with the screens at once using a wide range of movements, rather than requiring accurate isolated input from a single touch - making it an inclusive interactive activity for people of all abilities! Other features include:
1 - A smooth, soft touch surround with an anti-bacterial surface, making it ideal for special needs environments where hygiene is paramount.
2 - Braked castors allowing it to be wheeled effortlessly.
3 - The ability to tilt from vertical to horizontal, meaning it can be used vertically or tilted for users who are in a prone position or a reclined wheelchair.
SENse products are another range designed by Integrex specifically for users with additional needs. This low-cost sensory system offers floor to ceiling projection, an interactive floor that detects and responds to body movement, as well as variable lighting that augments interactive imagery. Users of any age can interact using minimal movements from a seated, standing or lying position; or users with more mobility can catch/move objects around the floor whilst playing with a range of stimulating games! Alternatively, the SENse Micro can be projected onto almost any surface, including wheelchair trays. Offering a portable option that can be used in a classroom or at home, creating an instant ‘plug and play’ with zero setups.
Integrex takes pride in providing a wide range of products that allow those with sensory or cognitive disabilities to interact, control and learn through a wide variety of interactive programmes operated through touch and movement. Integrex Sensory Specialists also design immersive rooms that are custom built and can include projected or interactive surfaces, colourful soft padded walls and floors, and Aromatherapy units.

Hi, I'm Lauren and I have been living with a collection of disabilities for the past 8 years. I initially had a passion for teaching children with special needs, but my health prevented me from pursuring my dream career. Despite this, I now love nothing more than sharing my experiences to help other people living with disabilities.
Hi, I’m Lori and was diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and a family of co-morbid conditions which has made life highly complex. However I constantly aim to make life as ‘normal’ and fulfilling as possible - and through this, I discovered the benefits of writing about my journey.
