PoE LiDAR Interactive Projection Walls for Pediatric Hospital Entrances

Hospitals can be intimidating for children. Long waits, unfamiliar environments, and medical procedures often create anxiety before treatment even begins.
To ease these emotions and respect children’s natural love for play, more pediatric hospitals are transforming their entrance corridors into glowing interactive pathways—warm, engaging spaces that replace fear with curiosity.

A PoE LiDAR interactive projection wall is especially well suited for pediatric entrances. It enables contactless, multi-user interaction, turning waiting time into a gentle, creative experience without increasing hygiene risks.

A Glowing Interactive Corridor That Changes the Hospital Experience

At the pediatric entrance, a long wall or corridor becomes a shimmering interactive passage.
Children can use their hands and footsteps as brushes, drawing light, colors, and movement across the wall as they walk.

The interactive content may include 15 themed scenes, such as:

Lively nature environments
Curious science and technology moments, like airplane takeoff or rocket launch
Gentle fantasy worlds filled with stars, bubbles, and floating shapes

As children move through the corridor, the hospital feels less cold and clinical—and more like a place of exploration and imagination.

Why PoE LiDAR Is Ideal for Pediatric Hospital Entrances

Contactless Interaction for Hygiene and Safety

PoE LiDAR detects distance and movement, not physical touch.

Children do not need to touch screens or walls
Reduces the risk of cross-infection
Suitable for high-traffic medical environments

Interactive feedback can be subtle and playful:

Footsteps create flowing light trails
Hand gestures grow flowers or release stars
Gentle movement triggers animations instead of loud reactions

Large-Area, Multi-Child Interaction

A pediatric entrance corridor often spans 8–20 meters.
LiDAR allows the entire wall—or multiple wall sections—to function as one continuous interactive surface.

Multiple children and parents can interact simultaneously
No “point grabbing” or interaction conflicts
Ideal for group movement and shared play

With PoE (Power over Ethernet), power and data run through a single cable, minimizing construction impact on existing hospital infrastructure.

Pediatric Design Principles for Interactive Walls

Emotional Comfort Comes First

For pediatric environments, interaction design must prioritize emotional reassurance:

Soft colors and warm palettes
Calm themes inspired by nature, space, animals, and seasons
Low-stimulus rhythms and gentle animation speeds

Rather than competitive games, the experience should feel like open exploration, allowing children to play freely without pressure or failure.

Quiet, Gentle Feedback

Unlike arcade or entertainment venues, hospitals require restraint.

Visual interaction as the main feedback channel
Light, ambient sound effects only when appropriate
No sudden flashes, loud sounds, or aggressive motion

Interactive walls can even support wayfinding:

Footsteps illuminate directional icons
Department symbols gently light up as children approach

This blends play with practical navigation.

Content and Theme Planning Suggestions

Modular Themes Along the Corridor

A long pediatric corridor can be divided into small thematic sections:

15 themes across the wall
Each theme spans 3–5 meters
Children “unlock” new scenes as they move forward

Example themes include:

Forests and oceans
Cities and transportation
Space and science
Holidays and seasonal changes
“Hospital Little Heroes” with friendly medical characters

Simple, Intuitive Interaction Types

Each theme can include 2–3 interaction modes, such as:

Hand-drawing interaction
Swiping gestures grow plants, draw stars, or reveal animals
Footstep interaction
Stepping on glowing circles triggers:
- Airplanes taking off
- Rockets launching
- Bubbles floating upward
Stay-and-discover interaction
Standing still for a few seconds reveals:
- Encouraging messages
- Smiling cartoon doctors
- Gentle “you’re doing great” animations

Combining Play with Health Education

Interactive content can subtly include pediatric health education:

Hand-washing and hygiene habits
Brushing teeth and wearing masks
Vaccination awareness
Friendly introductions to stethoscopes, CT scans, or injections

By encountering these elements through play, children become more familiar—and less afraid—of upcoming medical procedures.

Installation and Safety Considerations

Spatial Planning and Movement Flow

LiDAR sensors are mounted overhead or high on side walls, out of children’s reach
Sensors scan the corridor from a top-down or angled view to avoid occlusion
Projections or LED displays are placed on side walls, keeping main walkways clear

This ensures safety, smooth pedestrian flow, and uninterrupted medical access.

Medical-Grade Power and Maintenance

All devices use low-voltage weak current systems
Cabling is concealed within ceilings or walls
Equipment connects to centralized hospital electrical and IT rooms

The content management system can be located at:

A nurse station
A control room or back office

Staff can easily:

Adjust content
Lower volume during quiet hours
Instantly disable interaction during emergencies
