Want to create multimedia projects using pictures, sound, video and animations for education, fun and pictorial communication - all with eye-control accessibility?

Spectronics no longer supplies the technologies from Tobii including the MMediaMixer. These are now available for purchase across Australia and New Zealand from Link-AT. For more details, please contact Bas Tijdhof, Managing Director of Link-AT in Adelaide on bas@linkassistive.com. Of course, all customers who have previously purchased Tobii technologies from Spectronics will, as always, be supported for the life of the product. We are here to support you on should you need assistance.

MMediaMixer logoSample activities created with MMediaMixer. Click to see larger images.MMediaMixer is a multimedia tool. The program is very user-friendly and flexible. It can be used on different levels. Even younger children can create their own digital books and memory games, but it can also be used to create more complicated multimedia activities. Use MMediaMixer to create interactive activities, family albums, and exercises for fun, education or communication. It can be used in reading education, special education and pre-school or in working with mentally handicapped people.

Add pictures from your digital camera or import images and pictograms from the Internet, Boardmaker and other applications. Sound can be recorded directly into your activities. Add text, speech bubbles, video, animations and page change effects. Make your activities interactive by using timelines, hot-spots and buttons. Text can be read out with text-to-speech software, which is included in Windows XP. When the activities are packaged, they can be distributed without installing MMediaMixer. Activities can be burned on to a CD/DVD or sent as an email.
