Yep—Still in the Corner

When watching this video clip, it’s easy to wonder what you’re seeing. A post-apocalyptic wasteland where mechanized creatures are placed in a ring solely for the purpose of fighting at the whim and amusement of some unseen overlord? Not quite. A bizarre time rift that has somehow sent mechanical creatures from across millennia of existence to battle one another in an arena whose terms of victory and defeat are nebulous and ill-defined? Hardly. And maybe it’s time to ease up on the action flicks.
Is it some kind of mechanized tete-a-tete omelette of amazing drizzled in a caramelized awesome sauce? Absolutely. And you’re probably hungry. To put a finer point on it, this is the newest Educational Activity soon to be rolled out in the Imagine! CORE/Labor Source Communications class taught by our own Suzanne Phillips.
Here’s how it works. DynaVox communication devices support environmental controls, which in essence turns the DynaVox into a learning universal remote. This allows people to use these devices not only to communicate thoughts, feelings, wants, and needs, but remotely control the environment around them. Essentially any Infrared-controlled device can be controlled by the DynaVox device, from TV and home entertainment, to lights, to…well…dinosaurs and dancing robots. This activity provides an opportunity to learn a number of skills, from device navigation skills to directional navigation and peer socialization, to general mechanized mayhem. And it is way fun!
Stay tuned to see more of the action!
