What is Logan® ProxPAD™?
Logan® ProxPAD™ is a communication device and learning aid for people with motor, visual and cognitive disabilities that requires tangible objects or other cues to initiate communication. Like the Logan® ProxTalker® , it uses radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to provide voice information to a person when touching or approaching an object to the device.
There are two work options:
- touch - the manual or sound tag must come into contact with the blue surface of the device,
- immediate proximity - it is enough to bring the manual or sound tag closer to the device for it to recognize it and provide voice information. This operating option is of great importance for people with limited mobility and for people who have the ProxPAD TM mounted under a table or on a wheelchair.
What are the main features of Logan® ProxPAD™?
