Flip It! and Slider  
Flip It and Slider are two programs that involve interacting with pictures in ways that are intended to encourage and stimulate various aspects of visual development and prediction. The package was produced with a focus towards children. However, you could find it to be useful with adults too. Each program works on a grid containing a picture. They each enable a particular type of activity: Flip It: jumbles the picture by flipping the areas vertically or horizontally. The user has to find the jumbled areas and select them. Slider: creates sliding puzzle-type games with pictures. Activities can be set up in one of the many styles available, including loading your own pictures, sounds and cursor to use. Any configuration can then be saved to disc and loaded again later. Works well with a touch screen or other access/input system that controls the mouse. You can import your own pictures into these programs to enable the activities to be more personal or age appropriate. Both programs can be set up to use the sound effects files in Listen Hear, or can just use standard wav files. |
