Tovertafel ("Magic Table")
The device has been used in institutions in the Netherlands, Belgium, the UK, Ireland, Germany,[6] France, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Australia and New Zealand.[2]
Origins
The ideas behind the Tovertafel originated in 2009 from the PhD research of Hester Anderiesen.[5][7] Anderiesen started her research at the faculty of industrial design Engineering (IDE) at Delft University of Technology. Ultimately, this research, in which she investigated how to keep people in the mid to late stages of dementia active, and to counteract apathy, led to a prototype of the device. The Tovertafel appeared on the market as a product in 2015. In the same year, Anderiesen also founded the company behind the Tovertafel, called Active Cues, based in Utrecht. Development was supported by the Dutch Game Garden.[8]
