On this page we give you examples of things made by our Co-Researchers. This video gives you an introduction to Ajay Choksi, Technical Assistant and ‘Wiki Master’ at the Rix Centre. Ajay is a Co-Researcher working with us on the Sensory Objects project.
Our Co-Researchers are people with learning disabilities who can give their expert opinion about the provision Museums and Heritage sites provide working alongside the Researchers on this project developing a series of interactive sensory objects with the potential to alter, explore and imporve the access of people to heritage.

Workshop and Tour of Speke Hall Liverpool Sept 16th 2013
The following pictures were taken by Chris in Speke Hall of the Great Hall, Kitchen and Upstairs Bedrooms.
We have held 3 workshops all with a different focus. To begin we have introduced various cameras to members of the Access to Heritage group to enable the group to record their experiences visiting Speke Hall. The first session focused on what things people liked about each camera, how easy was it to use, what features were good for each person, so we could decide what sort of equipment people would need for the project. The next visit we asked the group to document a guided Victorian tour of the National Trust Speke Hall thinking about sensory information, for example what they wished they could touch, smell hear or taste what would they like to find out more about, what objects were of of particular interest to them. In workshop 3 the group were busy exploring squishy electronics and making keys so they recorded less with their cameras.
