From our CVI training App series, this is an intermediate level training tool for CVI students / children. It is used for training the ability of recognition of simple flat objects and eye tracking. - Instructions for use: The App shows up a kind of simple objects on a flat background with a high contrast single color / two main theme colors and some objects inside, users need to find out the target object in a background. Those responses consist of both sound and some movements. The following variations are provided in this version: -Gesture Type 1 : TAP on the screen Type 2 : a SHORT SWIPE in any direction on the screen Type 3 : DOUBLE TAP on the screen -Object Sets Set 1 & 2, Animals: A BLACK object with some main features (e.g. eye...) in a high contrast color on a YELLOW background, they would have their own action and movement is linearly from L to R. Where Set 1: Land animals Set 2 : Sea animals Set 3 ~ 4, Insects: A WHITE and YELLOW object with some main features (e.g. wings, legs...) on a BLACK background, they would have their own action and movement is linearly from L to R. Where Set 3 : Flying insects Set 4 : Land insects Set 5 : a simple butterfly flapping wings with different color wings. Its color sequence is CYAN, RED and YELLOW. Set 6 : Same as Set 3, but they would move arbitrary on the plane. Set 7 : Same as Set 4, but they would move arbitrary on the plane. Set 8 : An animal / insect move randomly in a colorful scene (consist of two contrasting colors mainly, and with some small features). Presented by Ebenezer School & Home for the Visually Impaired.

About

Visual LightPad

Features
Read full description

Visual LightPad creates a bright illuminated surface for developing visual perceptual and visual motor skills in people with visual impairment. It's a cheaper alternative to expensive, dedicated hardware visual impairment light boxes. Think of it as a digital light box! Adjust Visual LightPad's brightness and color, then place semi transparent toys, numbers or letters on the iPad's screen. Where colors become difficult, open the color picker and change the background color to something that accentuates the toys. Where hardware light boxes can be associated with work, iPads tend to be associated with play. Visual LightPad helps develop awareness to color and light, but using objects also helps in the development of visual perceptual skills, hand eye coordination, and both visual scanning and tracking. Visual LightPad can also be used for; - Reading content printed onto acetate - Providing a reading backlight when paper documents are placed on top of it - Photo negative illumination - Sensory / mood lighting Visual LightPad is purposefully easy to use and relatively low on features. It supports presets for easy saving and recall of preferred settings. It is designed to run on iPad, but also runs on iPhone - meaning you can keep a small light box in your pocket at all times.
