CVI training (Pattern) vs Visual LightPad

From our CVI training App series, this is a fundamental training tool for CVI students / children. It is used for training the recognition ability on simple patterns with BLACK and WHITE only. - Instructions for use: The App shows up a part of simple pattern on a white background, users need to perform a finger gesture on that part of patterns to get responses. Those responses consist of both sound and the patterns enlarging / shrinking animation. In this version, the following variations are provided to users: - Gesture Level 1 : TAP on the screen Level 2 : a SHORT SWIPE in any direction on the screen. Level 3 : DOUBLE TAP on the screen - Pattern Sets Set 1: simple stripe patterns in horizontal and vertical. Set 2 : stripes patterns in 4 orientations horizontal, vertical, left and right 45 degrees inclinations. Set 3 : radial circular and rectangular stripes. Set 4 : square patterns in chess board form Set 5 : more complicated chess board form patterns - Speed The speed of pattern animations, 3 – highest and 1 – lowest. - Action 1 Enlarge 2 Shrink Presented by Ebenezer School & Home for the Visually Impaired.

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.
