​re: media content
this is the perfect opportunity to enlist some IX members who dabble with
the RPi​.
​I'm sure some member there or even here can
 create a media platform to hold and display your content
This platform has many practical uses for media.
There are some media players already available for the RPi, just load your
content
Adding GPIO control for sensory activation is only a matter of adding a
python [or other] program to trigger on the signal
And it's well with in budget
