Somantics is a suite of applications that use touch, gesture and camera input to encourage, capture and amplify the interests of young people with Autistic Spectrum Conditions and other related communication difficulties. The overarching goal of Somantics is promote greater self-awareness, confidence and independence. Important information for users - in order to return to the interface the < symbol at the bottom left of the screen must be held down for at least 3 seconds. This is to make interaction distinct from the free form touch exploration of Somantics. Somantics was funded through the Technology Strategy Board (Making Waves) and Cardiff Metropolitan University.
