How are aFFx Activators unique?
The aFFx Activators are unique in that they are analog or proportional – meaning, the activators recognize force and duration. When comparing a binary device and an analog device, think of a light switch: an on/off light switch provides one effect (either on or off), while a dimmer switch provides multiple effects. For example, in the Bubbles activity of Cosmo’s Play and Learn™ software, the aFFx Activator is used to blow bigger and smaller bubbles. As the child presses the aFFx Activator, the bubble increases in size; the faster the child presses the aFFx Activator, the faster the bubble increases. The aFFx Activators on Mission Control are compatible with AbleNet button caps.
