HD Planetarium Projector (13 Discs) | NDIS Sensory Sleep Aid

Experience the calm of the cosmos with the 13-in-1 Planetarium Star Projector. This high-definition piece of low-cost assistive technology is designed to support NDIS participants with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), Autism (ASD), Insomnia, or high anxiety levels.

Unlike standard sensory lights that use abstract lasers, this projector uses HD Film Discs to display realistic imagery of the Milky Way, Solar System, and celestial bodies. For participants who find abstract patterns overstimulating, the realism and slow, silent rotation of this projector provide a predictable and grounding visual anchor. It transforms a bedroom into a tranquil planetarium, helping to lower heart rate and prepare the mind for sleep.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

Promoting Sleep Onset: The immersive, low-light environment triggers the brain's sleep signals (melatonin production). The Silent Operation ensures there is no whirring motor noise to distract users with auditory hypersensitivity, making it a superior choice for sleep hygiene.

Sensory Regulation (Calming): By focusing on the slow movement of the stars, participants can disengage from racing thoughts or anxiety. It acts as a visual "cool down" tool to de-escalate sensory overload after a busy day.

Cognitive Engagement (Special Interests): For participants with a special interest in space or science, the 13 different scenarios (Black Hole, Earth, Moon, etc.) provide educational engagement that is calming rather than exciting, supporting special interests in a regulated way.

Reducing Fear of Dark: The high-definition projection lights up the entire ceiling (up to 754 sq. ft), eliminating dark corners and shadows that can cause anxiety for children or adults with trauma backgrounds.

Key Features & Benefits

13 Interchangeable Discs: Comes with a massive library of 13 visual scenarios, preventing "habituation" (boredom) and allowing the user to choose their preferred environment.
Adjustable HD Focus: Features a focal ring to sharpen the image based on ceiling height, ensuring a crystal-clear view that is easy on the eyes.
Silent 360° Rotation: Rotates slowly to mimic the natural movement of the sky without generating mechanical noise that could disturb sleep.
Auto-Off Timer: Set for 1, 2, or 4 hours to ensure the device turns off once the user is asleep, promoting energy efficiency and safety.
Durable Design: Compact and built with a polished finish, it fits easily on a bedside table without cluttering the space.
