ALPHA
SENSORY is on the cutting edge of experiential show design, environmental design and multisensory programming, creating environments and experiences... transformational in nature... deep, touching and profound.
A full multisensory experience can be incredibly powerful. By combining numerous sensory inputs, a heightened interaction can be established between individuals and a programmed presentation.
To support the process we use the tools and techniques of the theme park industry combined with sensory display systems such as those developed by Multisensory Systems, Inc. and others. Traditional design teams are expanded to involve the expertise of scent designers and aromatherapists, sound and vibrational healers, various therapists, spa experts, etc.
Alpha Sensory - Designers and producers of next-generation sensory experiences and environments for spa and healing applications, special needs training and for entertainment purposes.

Invitation
Alpha Sensory invites qualified therapists, healers, and practitioners
to inner-journey within personal "multisensory environments".
These prototype systems bring together sophisticated mind-body
technologies into a single synergetic tool integrating wraparound
visuals, 3-D sound, tactile stimulation and a unique, patented
aromatherapy delivery system. Personalized experiences with
advanced biofeedback interface, totally controllable by the
therapist.
Both
system prototypes are currently located in Ojai, California.
Alpha
Sensory has complete access to those prototypes and is in
the process of developing multisensory software programs for
various modalities. We would like to collaborate with therapists
and other healing professionals in their creation, which we
plan to distribute in various media formats around the globe.
At the same time, those therapists may have the option to
bring their own clients to our studio to experience the new
creations with the prototype. Alpha Sensory will provide the
assistance of a system hardware and/or software designer and
system operator.
In
the next few months we will be uploading more information
about the rare opportunity to experience these until now "hidden
systems".
By
appointment only.

MultiSensory
Systems, Inc. has invented and patented unique systems and
methodology that provide a dramatic new experience for individuals,
which when applied properly can reduce stress, alter consciousness
and promote well being. Most notable is an aroma dispensing
technology (aromaComposer) that leapfrogs the capabilities
of current devices in the aromatherapy marketplace.
A
Symphony of the Senses
The
creators came together ten years ago to combine many sophisticated
mind-body technologies into a single device, a 21st century
multisensory projection system that is immersive, interactive,
and guides users through powerful and personal inner journeys.
This unique system integrates visual imagery, three-dimensional
sound, aroma and full body vibration into a unique multisensory
“InnerTainment” experience.
Programming
is planned for specific purposes including Relaxation and
Stress Reduction, Inspiration, and Personal-improvement.
Prototypes
have been undergoing intensive testing and evaluation in our
California studio, resulting in highly refined system designs
and very effective approaches to software production.

Multisensory
Integration
Multisensory
research has become an interdisciplinary scientific field
concerned with the neural and psychological mechanisms of
intersensory interaction.
"Multisensory
Environments" (MSE's) are now widely accepted as effective
therapy for special needs populations by the staff that care
for them. Developed from the Dutch "Snoezelen" concept
there are thousands of MSE's worldwide developing new ways
to encourage awareness, exploration, and learning. One particular
company alone has created over 3,000 multisensory environments,
into a variety of settings within 20 countries.
Most
multisensory environments incorporate some kind of aroma diffusion
system. Aromatherapy by itself and in conjunction with other
therapies, has been well received by thousands of scientists
and researchers, as well as by medical, beauty and health
professionals and by millions of people, particularly in England,
France, Germany, Belgium, and Switzerland, where aromatherapy
is widely practiced. The United States, Canada and Australia
are the new frontiers. In the late 90s, Harvard Medical School
started reporting on their research in this area and said
that health and mood were directly influenced by aromas and
that each aroma has a distinctly different effect.
The
synergistic combination of scent and sound and tactile sensation
produces a result quite unlike the separate sensations by
themselves.
"What is synergy?
Simply defined it means that the whole is greater than the
sum of its parts. It means that the relationship which the
parts have to each other is a part in and of itself. It is
not only a part, but the most catalytic, the most empowering,
the most unifying, and the most exciting part." Quote
by Stephen R. Covey
Jeremy
Rifkin, noted futurist, lecturer, author and President of
the "The Foundation on Economic
Trends", in Washington, DC, had the opportunity to experience
the future, here in Ojai, California, which is an emerging
center for complementary therapies and frontier medicine.
Here
is written commentary by Jeremy Rifkin (JR) following his
visit to the Multisensory Systems studio.
Immersion
& Control
For
centuries, man has searched for experiences that transcend
ordinary states of reality. These transcendent states have
long been known as highly effective environments for healing,
inspiration, teaching and personal transformation. has developed a breakthrough multi-sensory technology
that stimulates people in unique ways to produce these powerful
nonordinary states of consciousness.
The
Multisensory Stimulation System (MSS) provides a user with
a personalized experience that is immersive; that is to say,
that it fully immerses an individual user within a multisensory
environment. By immersing our senses in an integrative sensory
environment, we can free the mind from all we think we know
and understand and place ourselves in a truly open and receptive
state.
The
Multisensory system is vastly superior to and more capable
than anything available within the multisensory environments
today. The patented controller technologies and aroma blending
capacity give us a distinct advantage over others in this
field.

Sense
of Smell & the AromaComposer
“Much
more than just an aesthetic experience, the aromaComposer
provides reinforcement within the transformative process."
"The
Multisensory Experience: The aromaComposer takes the tools
of traditional aromatherapy into programmable multisensory
environments."
The
prototype & patented aromaComposer is the most advanced
multi-scent blending and therapeutic aroma diffusion system
available anywhere.
The
personal AromaComposer is completely controllable, permitting
automated, yet delicate blending of pure essential oils into
a variety of custom blends or "synergies"; a choice
of thousands being possible. When in use, this next-generation
system emits a gentle stream of scent to the user. As the
user's needs change, this scent can change or evolve into
a completely new one within a matter of seconds. This system
leaves no residue or lingering odors and is completely programmable.
It can even produce blends automatically upon predetermined
queues; accompanying either music and/or guided meditation
experiences on CD and DVD discs.
For the first time we are capable of exposing a user to a
vast variety of scents within a few seconds of each other.
"This means that you can virtually walk through a garden,
smelling each individual flower as you pass."
We now have a way of presenting aromatic essences in a new
context. A progression of inhaled aromatics guide people though
a process, each scent with its own distinct purpose in that
process, and each step preparing them for the next in that
process. This works very well when integrated into a multisensory
experience.
Smell
has a more direct route to the brain than any other sense.
Prototype aroma diffusion technology: Multisensory
Systems has invented and patented an aroma dispensing technology
that leapfrogs the capabilities of current devices in the
aromatherapy marketplace.
The
personal "aromaComposer" aroma diffusion system
automatically blends a handful of pure essential oils into
thousands of custom synergies, switching scents instantaneously
without lingering residue, for high-quality aromatherapy,
multisensory therapy and entertainment applications.
