{"product_id":"kinetic","title":"Kinetic","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA new generation of interactive input devices building on the well understood principles of kinaesthetic learning\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp\u003eKinetic puts the fun back into learning while offering a highly   effective means for teachers, therapists and carers to achieve solid   learning outcomes\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eKinetic may be used for many different activities. For example,   place the unit in a soft play cube and link it either to Smooth Talker   or the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/au\/app\/smooth-talker-aac\/id1032679182?mt=8\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSmooth Talker AAC app\u003c\/a\u003e 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, colours or even use it as a speaking dice.   The possibilities are almost endless. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eKinetic also 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 favourite music.   Find-Me-Sequence activity builds on this principle by asking the user to   find all six images in turn.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eKinetic can also be made to be a soft switch when inserted in a soft   play shape and is ideal for sensory rooms. It can even be made to turn   on toys and mains electrical devices through the SimplyWorks range.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThere are so many things you can do with Kinetic, it’s impossible to   describe them all here, so please click on the Videos tab and watch the   videos to gain a better understanding of all that’s possible.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe product is available in two forms:\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e    \u003cli\u003eKinetic for iPad\u003c\/li\u003e    \u003cli\u003eKinetic for SimplyWorks\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWhich to select depends largely on what other hardware it is to be   used with. If using it with Smooth Talker hardware or to switch on and   off ‘real world’ devices such as toys and mains appliances, choose   Kinetic for SimplyWorks.
