KINETIC for iPad

Product Description

KINETIC

  for  iPad  is  a  fun  kinesthetic 

learning  aid  which  will  engage  users  of  all 
ages  and  abilities.  It  is  able  to  determine 
its orientation in free space and also detect 
being  tapped  or  tilted,  allowing  many 
kinesthetic learning activities to be devised. 
For  example,  the  unit  may  be  placed  inside 
a  soft  play  cube  (available  separately)  to 
allow  different  outcomes  as  the  user  turns 
it  from  face  to  face.  It  may  also  operate  as 

a soft switch (soft outer shell also available 
separately),  ideal  for  switches  in  sensory 
rooms.  When 

KINETIC

  is  placed  inside  a 

waterproof box it may be used as a floating 
switch,  using  its  tilt  feature  to  detect  a 
significant movement away from its normal 
floating  position. 

KINETIC

  is  simple  to  set 

up  and  loaded  with  features  but  to  ensure 
you  get  the  best  experience  from  it,  please 
take time to read this instruction booklet.
