Switch Access Training vs Electrique

“Switch Access Training with a Camera” treats most of the touchscreen as a button for triggering the camera shutter, and it also provides picture-taking access for wired or wireless external switches (including a keyboard). Currently, page navigation still relies on partner participation, but the primary function (i.e., taking pictures) is directly switch accessible. Picture taking is a preferred activity for some people, where this app can help to familiarize a student with cause-and-effect relationships, perhaps on the way to their using switch access for an augmentative and alternative communication device (AAC); in fact, that AAC might even be provided on the same sort of device on which the switch-access training occurred. (See the app: "Switch Access Training with Music") You access the Camera and Photo Library with the buttons on the main page. In the Camera, you can take pictures with either: a) the camera button icon, b) the camera screen itself (with the touchscreen acting as a button), or c) a wired or wireless switch. In the Photo Library, you can review previously taken photos, tapping them to add photos to the set currently displayed on the Main screen. (There is no checkmark to indicate whether or not a picture has been selected, as I will be creating a separate app for making actual presentations.) Tapping a photo in the Main view will start a slideshow with a default 3-second delay between photos. Adjust the slideshow through the Settings icon, where you can decide to have each tap: a) advance the album by one picture, or b) start/stop the slideshow. This is also where you can adjust the delay interval between the slides (from 1 to 5 seconds). With an external switch (or keyboard), sending '1' or 'space' takes pictures, '2' or 'return' exits the camera, and '3' toggles the front- and rear-facing camera views. You can also toggle these two views with the camera view button.

Sensory Electrique is a pure sensory stimulation app, for assisting basic communication with somebody struggling with speech and communication. It can also be used within visual and touch development and visual sensory response. If you are familiar with our popular app Electra, then Electrique will be familiar. Electrique (and all Sensory App House apps) do not contain advertising or collect any information from the users. Electrique is a multi touch or tap effects app, which generates the lively stimulating spark. It is also a great way to create a controlled spark effect for video. Electrique can also be keyboard or bluetooth switch controlled, with 1,2,3,4 controlling the effects, 5 hiding the buttons, and a screen tap anchoring the spark. Electrique also supports the XBox controller or Microsoft Adaptive Controlle. A crosshair will appear, and can be moved with the thumbstick or DPad and the spark can be reset by hitting A. B, X and Y control other app effects. Any questions please contact support@sensoryapphouse.com or www.facebook.com/sensoryapphouse
