Hardware
The BrainTrainerPlus console is a purpose-built user-friendly device for people of all ages and motor skills. Although slightly larger than a regular household PC, it is still compact and easily portable.
Its most accessible feature is that it has no complicated buttons and is a simple-to-use touchscreen console. It is designed specifically for people with visual and motor skill changes, which is the primary reason for its large size. The BrainTrainerPlus easy-to-use design immediately dispels fears of “not knowing how to use a computer”. This machine quickly enables participants to build their self-confidence by simply playing.
It is widely used for group activities by connecting it to an external screen, one-to-one, or independently. The BrainTrainerPlus only needs a small desk or table near electricity to stand on, a comfortable chair to sit in, and a welcoming moment to play. Internet connection is only required periodically for updates and is not required for playing.
It is packaged in a custom-made case that contains the following items:
- All-in-one PC with 19.5” 1600x900 multi-touch screen.
- 1TB storage and warranty coverage.
- USB keyboard and screen-cleaning cloth included.
- Custom-made transport case for practical use across facilities.
Software
This is where the fun begins.
The BrainTrainerPlus has more than 30 games, quizzes, and activities with thousands of playful questions and answers. Each game or puzzle has levels with the idea being that participants can start gently and keep experiencing progress.
The BrainTrainerPlus offers individual access through a login. This option is built in to take users straight to their own level, while staff and family can add personal content such as quizzes, photos and life-story material.
