Sensory Magma vs Talking Typer

Sensory Magma is a simple calming and relaxing visual app for people with special/complex needs of ALL ages. Magma generates lava style slow moving effects, which when combined with music from the iPhone or iPad Music player can be relaxing and also stimulating. Beaming Magma to a TV via Apple TV fills the room with the slow, lava effect. Touch the screen to change Magma effects as follows; • Tap – change direction of flow • Hold – change color • Pinch – change size of magma blobs Magma has no adverts, no settings screen and no in-app purchases. Magma is fully switch accessible, using a Bluetooth Switch Access box, such as the RJ Cooper Bluetooth Switch Interface and RJ's Bluetooth Super-Switch. Visit www.rjcooper.com/bluetooth-switch-interface/ for further details. Bluetooth Switch Box Compatibility: Magma can be controlled by assistive technology switches that produce character codes (1, 2, 3, 4 & ~1, ~2, ~3, ~4) - all produce different changes.
