Prototype — Public learning installations
The Spatial Learning Node (SLN) is a prototype, site-installed learning environment that blends volumetric projection, tactile interactives and short facilitator-led sequences to make complex ideas tangible for everyone.
Designed for museums, libraries and civic venues, the Node foregrounds accessibility: tactile cues, audio description, symbol guidance and Easy Read materials are included as standard. Node sessions are EMLS-compatible so public learning connects directly to classroom and community follow-ups.

Pilot-ready system & partner package
We supply a full hosting brief, trial protocol and facilitator training so venues can pilot a Node with confidence. The package is designed for easy procurement and accessible delivery.
Introduction
The Spatial Learning Node (SLN) is a prototype, site-installed learning environment that layers volumetric projection, tactile interactives and short facilitator-led sequences to create immersive, embodied learning experiences. It is designed for museums, libraries and civic venues that want public-facing learning which is sensory-rich, repeatable and genuinely accessible.
Each Node session is short and modular, with clear visitor flows and facilitator scripts so staff can run multiple, accessible sessions per day. The Node maps to EMLS curriculum modules so public visitors and classroom learners share content and outcomes, strengthening community-to-classroom learning pathways.
Pilot materials: canonical trial protocol, technical dataflow notes (LRS/xAPI-ready), site-installation brief and accessibility audit template are available as part of the partner package.
What we offer
The Spatial Learning Node is delivered as a partner-ready package. Each installation includes hardware & AV guidance, a library of modular session designs, and the accessibility, training and evaluation materials venues need to run consistent, measurable public programs.
Layered volumetric visuals
Multi-depth projection and spatialised content that creates distinct ‘layers’ of information. Visitors can move between layers to reveal new perspectives and scaffolded ideas.
Tactile & physical interactives
Hand-held or in-situ tactiles and haptic elements mapped to on-screen layers so visitors learn by touch, gesture and manipulation as well as sight and sound.
Facilitator packs & training
Short session scripts, visitor flows, accessibility briefings and a hands-on training programme so local staff can deliver consistent, repeatable sessions with low prep overhead.
Accessibility-first assets
Audio description tracks, Easy Read visitor sheets, symbol signage and Auslan-ready summaries are standard. We include staff-facing scripts for inclusive facilitation and accessible queuing/flow guidance.
EMLS compatibility & learning continuity
Node sessions map directly to EMLS modules so visiting learners and schools can continue learning in classrooms, strengthening community-to-school learning pathways.
Site planning, M&E & support
We provide a site-installation brief (power, rigging, acoustic notes), an accessibility audit template, and mixed-methods M&E tools (LRS/xAPI hooks and qualitative templates) so pilots deliver robust evaluation and procurement-ready reporting.
