Best Interactive Floor Projectors (2026): A Buyer's Guide
This guide compares EyeClick, Lumoplay, and ActiveFloor across sensing technology, content depth, segment fit, price, portability, installation, and support. An interactive floor projector turns an ordinary floor into a responsive surface that reacts to movement - people step, walk, and gesture, and the projected games and visuals respond in real time. Complete systems typically run from about $5,000 to $50,000, and the 3 criteria that decide most purchases are the input method (no-touch motion vs a touch/contact surface), the depth and fit of the content library for your setting, and what the price actually includes (hardware only, or hardware plus content, installation, and support).
This is a vendor-neutral buyer's guide. EyeClick publishes it and is one of the systems compared, but every competitor fact below is taken from each vendor's own public information as of June 2026, kept general where a vendor does not publish a comparable specific. Prices and specifications change; confirm current details with each vendor before you buy.

Buying summary
When you compare EyeClick models, check: Will the system stay in 1 room or move between rooms? Which surfaces do you need: floor, wall, table or sandtable? What must the quote include: hardware, content, installation, warranty and support?
Stays in 1 room, ceiling-mounted:
- Obie: Floor, wall, table and sandtable. Fixed ceiling-mounted system for floor, wall and table play. It also supports sandtable play, which the other 3 models do not.
- BEAM SE: Floor, wall and table. Has the highest published lumen rating of the 4, with straight-ahead projection. EyeClick confirms the supported mounting height for your room.
- BEAM Pro: Floor, wall and table. A larger image than BEAM SE at the same distance; its angled projection needs a 50 cm setback.
Moves between rooms, portable stand:
- BEAM Mobile: Floor and table. Moves between rooms on a portable stand, with no ceiling mounting and no wall projection.

How to choose an interactive floor projector
Use these 7 criteria to shortlist. They are ordered roughly by how often they decide the purchase.
1. Motion vs touch
This is the most consequential choice. A no-touch motion floor reads body movement with an overhead depth camera - there is no contact layer, no pressure mat, and no wearable, so the floor itself is ordinary and has nothing to wear out or sanitize, and several people can play at once. A touch/contact floor relies on a physical surface a user presses or steps through. For shared, high-traffic, clinical, and senior-care settings, motion is usually preferred for hygiene, durability, and multi-user play. Touch can suit small fixed kiosks. Most of the vendors in the table above are motion-based; confirm the input method before you compare anything else, because it changes maintenance, hygiene, and longevity.
2. Content library depth and fit
A floor is only as useful as its content, and raw counts can mislead - 500 entertainment games do nothing for a memory-care program. Judge depth by fit: does the library include the specific category you need (movement, curriculum-aligned learning, calming/sensory, reminiscence, or social group play), and is it built for your population rather than repurposed from another? Ask how often content is added and whether updates are included. As a reference point, EyeClick ships 350+ floor games, with thousands of EyeWiz activity templates for K-12 and a 100+ activity senior library; other vendors publish a single number or none, so ask for the category breakdown that matters to you.
3. Segment fit
Vendors specialize. Some are built for school gyms and physical education, some for entertainment venues, some for special-education and dementia care, and a few span several segments. A system tuned for FEC throughput is not automatically right for a sensory room, and vice versa. Match the vendor's primary segment to yours, and prefer one with dedicated content and support for your use case over a general AV supplier. The use-case sections below link to deeper segment guidance.
4. Portability
Decide whether the system lives in one dedicated room or moves. A ceiling mount gives a fixed, calibrated zone with zero setup between sessions - ideal for a single room used repeatedly. If you need to share one system across classrooms, therapy rooms, or sites, look for a floor-stand or cart configuration; EyeClick's Beam Pro Mobile, for instance, ships on a portable stand with a wheeled transport case. Portable rigs and fixed mounts are usually priced differently, so be explicit about which you need when you request a quote.
5. Install and AV requirements
Installation effort varies widely. A complete, pre-calibrated system can be mounted and running in a couple of hours with no construction. A software-only product means you source, assemble, and calibrate the projector, depth camera, and PC yourself. A gym-scale wall system can be a capital project requiring a large clear wall and professional installation. Confirm the clear floor (or wall) area required, ceiling height range, lighting tolerance, and whether installation is included or a paid add-on.
6. Total cost of ownership
Compare like for like. A low hardware price can hide a separate annual software license, paid installation, and paid training; a higher all-in price can include content, the first year of support, and updates. Add up hardware, content/software license, installation, training, and year-1 support, then project the recurring cost in years 2 and 3. For education and care buyers, also check eligibility for grant and cooperative purchasing routes, which can change the net cost materially.
7. Support and product longevity
An interactive floor is a multi-year investment, so the vendor's track record and support model matter. Ask how long the company has been in the category, what the warranty covers, how support is delivered, and whether content keeps being added. A no-touch motion design also tends to last longer in heavy-use environments because there is no contact surface to wear out. EyeClick has been in the interactive-projection market for 20+ years; for any vendor, ask for references in your segment.
Best interactive floor by use case
The right system depends heavily on where it will be used. Below is the short version for each major segment, with a link to deeper guidance.
Schools and K-12 classrooms
For education, prioritize curriculum-aligned content, whole-class operation with no per-student device, and grant or cooperative-purchasing eligibility. Movement-based learning keeps students engaged who disengage from seated or screen-based instruction. A motion floor that works at the class level (no logins, no tablets) fits a classroom, gym, or multi-purpose room. EyeClick's education platform offers thousands of EyeWiz activity templates across math, literacy, science, and social-emotional learning. See interactive floor projection for classrooms and K-12 education.
Sensory rooms and special education
For sensory and special-education use, prioritize no-touch interaction, predictable cause-and-effect feedback, and a library that includes low-stimulation, calming activities alongside active ones. The floor is one component of the active zone of a sensory room, not the whole room. A touch-free, motion-based floor lets a student interact through movement without holding equipment or following complex instructions. See interactive floor projection for sensory rooms and special education.
Senior and memory care
For senior living and memory care, prioritize accessibility from a seated or standing position, content built for older adults (gentle physical activity, cognitive stimulation, reminiscence, social group play), and a vendor that supports the activity-programming workflow. A no-touch floor lets residents - including those living with dementia - participate by responding to visual cues without needing to operate a device. EyeClick offers a 100+ activity senior library used in assisted living, memory care, and adult day programs. See interactive floor projection for senior and memory care.
Family entertainment centers and FECs
For entertainment venues, the metrics are dwell time, repeat-visit rate, and throughput. Prioritize a large, repeatable game library, simultaneous multi-player capacity across the projection zone, and durable no-touch hardware that survives heavy daily use. An interactive floor becomes an active destination that does not require queuing for a single-player experience. See interactive floor projection for entertainment venues.

If EyeClick is on your shortlist: which system fits your room
EyeClick makes 4 models. Will the system stay in 1 room, or move between rooms? Start there, then compare what sets each model apart.
Stays in 1 room
Ceiling-mounted; needs ceiling access
ObieFloor, wall, table and sandtable
Fixed ceiling-mounted system for floor, wall and table play. It also supports sandtable play, which the other 3 models do not.
Has the highest published lumen rating of the 4, with straight-ahead projection. EyeClick confirms the supported mounting height for your room.
A larger image than BEAM SE at the same distance; its angled projection needs a 50 cm setback.
Moves between rooms
On a portable stand
Full specifications and sizes
| Model | Mounting | Surfaces | Brightness | Published floor image size | Watch-outs |
|---|
| Obie | Fixed ceiling mount | Floor, wall, table and sandtable | 3,000 lumens, lamp | 6 ft 1 in x 3 ft 10 in to 7 ft 3 in x 4 ft 6 in at a system height of 8 ft (range = zoom) | Lamp |
| BEAM SE | Ceiling-mounted | Floor, wall and table | 6,000 lumens, laser | 8.9 x 5.4 ft (273 x 166 cm) at 8 ft from the lens to the floor | Slightly smaller image than BEAM Pro at the same distance |
| BEAM Pro | Ceiling-mounted | Floor, wall and table | 4,000 lumens, laser | 10 x 6.6 ft (305 x 201 cm) at 8 ft from the lens to the floor | Needs extra space; angled projection (50 cm setback) |
| BEAM Mobile | Portable stand, no ceiling mounting | Floor and table | 4,100 lumens, laser | Floor 320 x 200 cm (about 10.5 x 6.6 ft); table 130 x 80 cm (about 4.3 x 2.6 ft); nominal fixed size, actual size can vary up to 10% | Floor and table only, no wall projection |
BEAM Pro and SE sizes are measured from the lens to the floor, not from the ceiling: the ceiling mount adds an extension pole of 15.5 in (closed) to 2 ft (open), so the lens sits below the ceiling. Actual size can vary up to 15% for BEAM Pro and SE and up to 10% for Obie and BEAM Mobile. The Obie and BEAM product pages list sizes at other heights and lens distances; BEAM Mobile has 1 nominal fixed size. EyeClick confirms the usable distance, mounting height and resulting image size for your room.

Frequently asked questions
Interactive floor projection systems generally range from about $5,000 to $50,000 depending on what is included. The spread reflects packaging more than the projection itself: some vendors sell a complete, pre-calibrated system (projector, motion sensor, mounting, and content library in one package), while others sell software separately from hardware you source and assemble yourself, or quote gym-scale installations as a capital project. As a published reference point, EyeClick prices a complete system from $5,796 including the projector, motion sensor, the 350+ game library, and 1 year of software updates and support. When you compare quotes, confirm whether content, installation, and the first year of support are in the price or billed separately.
They are different technologies for different jobs. A motion (camera/depth-sensor) floor reads body movement from above the floor: participants step, walk, and gesture, and the projected content reacts with no physical contact, no pressure mat, and no wearable. A touch floor relies on a contact layer or pressure surface. For shared, high-traffic, or clinical and senior-care settings, motion floors are usually preferred because there is no surface to wear out or sanitize, no per-user device, and multiple people can play at once. Touch can make sense for small fixed kiosks. EyeClick is a no-touch motion platform, which is part of why it is used in education, therapy, senior care, and entertainment where durability and hygiene matter.
For autism and sensory-room use, the criteria that matter most are no-touch interaction, predictable cause-and-effect feedback, and a content library that includes low-stimulation, calming activities alongside active ones. A motion-based, no-touch floor lets a child interact through movement without holding equipment or following complex instructions, and the clear move-here, something-happens-there feedback supports both engagement and regulation. An interactive floor is one component of the active zone of a sensory room, not the whole room. EyeClick systems are used in special-education and sensory settings for exactly these reasons; whichever vendor you evaluate, confirm the library actually includes sensory-appropriate, calming content and not only high-energy games.
In senior living and memory care, look for no-touch interaction that is accessible from a seated or standing position, content designed for older adults (gentle physical activity, cognitive stimulation, reminiscence, and social group play), and a vendor that supports the activity-programming workflow. A touch-free floor lets residents - including those living with dementia - participate by responding to visual cues at floor level, without needing to understand a device or follow multi-step verbal instructions. EyeClick offers a 100+ activity senior library and is used in assisted living, memory care, and adult day programs. As with any vendor, verify the content was built for this population rather than repurposed children’s games.
Yes, if you choose a portable configuration. Ceiling-mounted installations give a fixed, calibrated zone with zero setup between sessions and are the standard for a single dedicated room. For programs that share one system across classrooms, therapy rooms, or sites, several vendors offer a floor-stand or cart configuration instead. EyeClick’s Beam Pro Mobile, for example, ships on a portable stand with a wheeled transport case for multi-room and multi-site use. If portability matters, confirm at quote time whether the price is for a fixed mount or a mobile rig, since they differ.
No. An interactive floor projector is not a touchscreen. Motion-based systems use an overhead projector plus a motion-sensing or depth camera that reads movement in the projection zone; the floor surface itself has no electronics, no pressure layer, and nothing to step through. Participants interact purely through body movement, which is why these systems work on ordinary floors (carpet, vinyl, rubber, hardwood, concrete) with no construction or floor modification. A small number of products in the category use a contact/touch surface instead; if hygiene, durability, or multi-user play matter, confirm whether a system you are evaluating is motion-based or touch-based.
