FEATURE / FACILITIES Loma Linda University Children's Hospital Loma Linda, California A FULLY IMMERSIVE experience greets children in the lobby of Loma Linda Children's Hospital. " Loma Land " teems with animated creatures, lush plants, and the gentle sound of flowing water. Children use LCD screens to create their own animal companion that appears on the 60-foot-wide projection screen where the virtual forest comes to life. Children adorn their animal companions with vivid colors and whimsical accessories like acorn hats and leaf masks. They spend a few minutes interacting with their new friends before releasing them to frolic in the forest with other children's animal creations. Children customize their own animal that guides them through the security station to the elevators. CHILDREN'S HEALTHCARE OF ATLANTA will include an interactive wall in the lobby of its new Arthur M. Blank Hospital when it opens in the fall of 2024. When a child approaches the colorful wall, sensory cameras activate, prompting the image of a unique animal to appear. The child will use motion to interact with the animal. 26 CHILDREN'S HOSPITALS TODAY Spring 2024 Rendering: Children's Healthcare of Atlanta
