Halving Demo - Alternative Method

A demonstration of the 'halving' (also called scan-direct) method of switch access. This access method is a 'coded' method - each switch represents half of the screen (e.g. red switch =left, blue switch = right) and pressing a switch selects the corresponding side of the screen. This can offer a potentially quick method of access, but also one that can be learnt - since the switch presses are always the same. It would be of most benefit to people who have no problems with repeated switch presses and have the ability to learn the motor planning to make the method automatic. This is an ALTERNATIVE METHOD of implementing halving that allows for auditory feedback to be incorporated to aid learning.

This is an ALTERNATIVE METHOD of implementing halving that allows for auditory feedback of the categories to be incorporated. 

For a more standard way of implementing halving, and a description of what it does, see the other demonstration grid bundle.

In addition - note, you should hear something, if you don't - go to Edit->User Settings, Speech Settings -> Public Voice.  The bundle is also setup to use F1 or F2 as pretend switches - to change this to normal switches go to Edit->User Settings, Input Settings -> Switch Settings -> Connection.


Enjoy.
