PC Upgrades are just standard touch tables but with an added i7 Windows PC’s which make your touch table a more versatile table. Instead of running on just Android (standard for all touch tables), It now can run on Windows and Android which means more accessibility with apps like Microsoft workspace so word, excel, PowerPoint etc and video chat services such as teams & zoom. You also have full access to the Microsoft app store.
Plug & play comes as a standard for touch tables and it means that the touch tables only function when plugged into a socket. This option is used when the table isn’t in constant use and is placed in one space, ideally next to a socket. Most nurseries use this option as it’s like a treat for the children to play on.
Battery upgrades are an additional battery that sits onto the base on the touch table that gives the touch table power. They are more convenient as you can move the touch table into different areas of the building without worrying about dragging the wire. Most higher education schools & care homes use this option as they need constant use. Below are the two options of battery upgrades

What’s the difference between a Magic table and Touch table?
What is a Magic Table?
A ‘magic table’ was one of the earlier reiterations of sensory equipment comparative to the projectors utilised within school settings. They work by projecting and often enlarging an image onto a surface so that it may be better seen by a larger group.
This was obviously a very useful tool for schools when it first came out since teachers were able to present documents and other learning material more effectively than on a typical whiteboard.
Developments in the technology and its developing purpose within care home environments made the kit more sensory, reactive to movements from the user. In order to better present this sensory interaction, the projection tended to focus upon lateral objects (i.e. tables) which were more easily available to residents limited in mobility.
On the whole these projected and interactive ‘magic’ tables were a fantastic addition to care home environments. Especially when providing for residents with diminished cognitive capacity and ability as with advanced stages of dementia.
What is a Touch table?
An Interactive Touch Table is a kind of contrasting alternative. Distinctive in that: there’s no projector needed and they’re effectively a large scale mobile table like an iPad. These similarly offer sensory engagement for a large group, able to recognise multiple points of contact with the surface simultaneously (as many as 32 independent touches!)
Touch Tables have always been a fantastic tool for care homes specifically in that they offer all sorts of apps from either Android or Android and Windows PC. This is particularly helpful for activity coordinators in that you can effectively host all sorts of group games and one-to-one interactions without the stress of catering activities for specific groups of residents.
Want an exercise class? Done.
A movie night? Easy peesy.
Some bingo fun? All sorted.
What’s the key differences between a Magic table & a Touch table?
Mobility
Due to the need for a projector which requires significant calibration to function correctly, ‘magic tables’ tend to be limited to one specific space. However, Touch tables become a kind of multi-use tool able to be transported from private rooms to common spaces to staff training areas due to them being on castors.
Use and function
The ‘magic table’ was designed in such a way that users interact with and are stimulated by a myriad of simplistic games, music, and visuals. Interactive touch tables, on the other hand, are far more adaptable when it comes to function and intended use. In fact in many ways intended use really depends on the types of apps you have downloaded and the activities you wish to host within your home.
Adaptability and Accessibility
Interactive Touch Tables tend to be significantly more versatile in both mobility and function. These traits on the whole would suggest a strong argument for the accessibility of interactive touch tables, especially when we consider that they’re also adaptable when it comes to the little things too (e.g. font size, screen brightness, screen contrast, etc). These modifications may seem minor to neurotypical residents but for those under the neurodivergent umbrella, they can mean the difference between joining in on the fun and sitting on the side lines. They’re essential.
Magic Tables are more limited in many ways but, and this is quite an important but, they are designed for those who might struggle with ‘basic’ cognitive and physical demands. Since the system doesn’t require significant technological comprehension, anyone can understand and operate it once it is set up.
Cost
When it comes to buying the respective products outright, the ‘magic table’ (on average) does tend to be cheaper. Remember to put this in context. A projector is a simpler bit of kit and it’s been around for longer. More expensive elements do arise when we consider long term use. You’d have to buy more for installation, blubs frequently burn out and general maintenance costs will be a consistent drip on your home’s budget. This is not to say that the ‘magic table’ is an expensive option but only to recognise that it’s not as cheap as a simple one time payment.
The Interactive Touch Table is more expensive to buy outright but there are a variety of finance options available to make purchase as accessible as possible. Additionally, the majority of repairs and maintaining costs will initially be recognised under the warranty of the product itself. This can be an appealing support line for those homes with limited budgets.
