Abstract:
A multisensory stimulation system including a housing having a view port, a primary optical assembly having a primary reflective chamber mounted within said housing defined by a plurality of inner reflective surfaces, a viewing chamber communicating through a first opening to said primary reflective chamber, a viewport communicating with said viewing chamber so as to allow images and light therein to be observed therethrough, a first sensory input means including a projection source mounted adjacent to said primary reflective chamber for projecting light and images into said primary reflective chamber through a second opening spaced from said viewport, first control means for controlling said first sensory input means, a second sensory input means carried by said housing, said second sensory input means including an aromatic delivery means, said aromatic delivery means including a plurality of essence containers, a source of pressurized air, means for selectively connecting said source of pressurized air with said plurality of essence containers to thereby entrain essences in said pressurized air, a venturi passageway positioned to communicate said aromatic delivery means with said viewing chamber, means for conveying pressurized air with at least one essence entrained therein to said venturi passageway, a ventilation system for introducing an airflow through said venturi passageway toward said viewing chamber, means for introducing said pressurized air with at least one entrained essence into said airflow through said venturi passageway, and second control means for controlling said means for selectively connecting said source of pressurized air with said essence containers to control which essence containers communicate with said pressurized air whereby visual and olfactory senses can be selectively stimulated by said first and second sensory input means.
