Detect movement with Apollo Ensemble

Wired sensors are plugged into the Ensemble16, EnsembleHub or one of our wireless interfaces; ideal for fixed installations such as children's play areas, sensory rooms or museum interactives.

Wireless sensors are designed to work with the EnsembleHub; great for working without the umbilical cord.

EnsembleConnect

Why be tied down to using specific wireless switches? The Connect allows you to link any accessible switch back to the EnsembleHub without the wires. Use up to four switches at one time.

EnsembleDice

This smart little sensor knows exactly which way up you are holding it. Incorporating the latest technology as used in smart phones and games consoles, the Dice tells the EnsembleHub which side is being held face up. Use it hand held or incorporate it into a soft play dice to roll it around the room.

The powerful Ensemble Designer allows you to link the side of the dice to any effect – sound, light, video, image or any combination.

EnsembleDual

Go wireless with your variable sensors by using the EnsembleDual, which can link up to two wired sensors back to the EnsembleHub. Go mobile with the popular squeeze or create your own sensors.

EnsemblePress

For those with very fine motor skills, the EnsemblePress provides a new way to play. Only a small amount of pressure is needed on the touch sensitive pad on the top surface of the sensor to create a variable signal. Control musical notes or add expression to a performance.

EnsembleTilt

Big results from small movements: the EnsembleTilt gives two variable outputs directly related to the pitch and roll of this sensor. Hold it in your hand - as you twist your hand left and right change the pitch of the note, tilt up and down to change the volume. Use the Tilt for controlling moving head lights, panning a sound between speakers or simply to add expression to a performance.

EnsembleTag

This is a unique sensor in our range, as it doesn't detect a specific movement but a specific ID. RFID tags contain little chips with unique numbers in them. These tags come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, including stickers and credit card style. Attach a tag to an object, teach Ensemble to recognise the unique ID and then link that ID in your map.

Use objects to trigger sequences, lights, sound clips, videos and images. Bring storytelling alive!

RFID tags available separately.

Floorpads

A great trigger for sounds and lighting, floorpads can be placed underneath mats to disguise where they are. Stamp on them, roll over or use beneath the wheel of a wheelchair, these pads are robust and heavy duty.

Produced especially for Apollo, these mats are industrial quality and designed to take the abuse you'll throw at them. Custom sizes are also available on request.

Squeeze

One of my favourite sensors, designed specifically to allow a musician with disabilities I met to play music. The squeeze produces a variable output depending on how hard the pressure bulb is squeezed. You can alter the amount of pressure required using the control knobs on the case.

Precise control over the sensor can be achieved over a period of time, allowing progression and development. Alter how hard the user needs to squeeze to reach the top note, and turn therapy into play.
