Sensory

Sensory is a free multitouch enabled cause and effect sensory lightshow app that was developed with particular attention to users with special educational needs and disabilities. Informed by the benefits of sensory applications for individuals with conditions such as autism and impaired vision, the creator sought to provide a simple yet engaging experience for this target audience.

The app, which is both cost-free and ad-free, showcases the implementation of particle effects in LibGdx. It offers users the ability to trigger and interact with various particle effects through touch, supporting multitouch functionality for enhanced engagement. Aiming for ease of use, the app discreetly hides Android software buttons to prevent unintended closures while providing intuitive navigation options.

With a focus on three distinct user groups, Sensory appeals to developers interested in LibGdx techniques, babies for early sensory development, and individuals with learning disabilities or special education needs. By encouraging touch-based interactions and offering a visually stimulating experience, the app serves as a tool for enhancing hand-eye coordination and providing a sense of achievement through simple cause-and-effect gameplay.
