Product Description: 

Kinetic is an interactive input device or switch interface building on the principles of kinesthetic learning. The product contains a gyroscope, which is able to determine its orientation and send this information wirelessly either to an iPad or one of Pretorian's SimplyWorks receivers. It is also able to determine when it is tapped or moved in a particular direction.

Main Features: 

  • Place the unit in a soft play cube and link it either to Smooth Talker or our Smooth Talker AAC app and a different message plays as each face of the cube is turned uppermost.
  • Use a soft play cube with pockets on all sides and it is possible to make the messages match the images you insert into the pockets.
  • You could use images of animals (and their corresponding noises), shapes, textures, colors or even use it as a speaking dice. 
  • Kinetic has a Find-Me activity where the therapist asks that the user finds a particular image on the cube. When they successfully find it, they receive a ‘reward’ such as a clip of their favorite music.
  • The find-me-sequence activity builds on this principle by asking the user to find all six images in turn.
  • Kinetic can be made to be a soft switch when inserted in a soft play shape and is ideal for sensory rooms.
  • It can be made to turn on toys and mains electrical devices through our SimplyWorks range.
  • Activity modes include Dice, Find-Me, Dice-as-a-Switch, Tap/Catch, and Tilt/Float.

Primary Specifications: 

  • Wireless operation either over SimplyWorks or Bluetooth (for iPad).
