K-1 Kaleidoscope
K-1 is a musical kaleidoscope - an activity for all ages and
abilities
It is: a toy; a graphic design tool; an assessment tool; a
multi-sensory device; a happy reminder of times past.
The Toy - is the classic toy. Turning and shaking actions are
made with the mouse, touch monitor, keyboard or switch. It is many
kaleidoscopes in one. Pre-set the colors and shapes or allow the
program to constantly change them - the choice is yours. The
optional music can be used to encourage play, or switched off to
avoid disturbing others. Choose one theme from the six provided, or
let the music change each time the kaleidoscope is `shaken`.
Graphic Design Tool - In Design Mode, choose the shapes and
colors that make up the kaleidoscope. Then shake and turn until the
pattern suits. Vary the background color and music at will. Save
designs for later or print them immediately. As in a `real`
kaleidoscope the patterns made are all different. Create a design
with K-1 and it will be unique and original.
Assessment Tool - can be used in access assessments for those
with a combination of physical and sensory impairments.
The Multi-Sensory Device - In the multi-sensory room, K-1
acts both as a calming device and as a visual stimulation. For those
with no control over their movement, use the K-1 screensaver to
provide visual stimulation and a constantly changing image.
A Happy Reminder of Times Past - K-1 can be used by older
people with no previous experience of computers. A new way to enjoy
an old pastime!
