Introduction
The Dividat Senso software is split into a user and management environment. Dividat Play is the user environment. In Play, you can complete individual training sessions. Dividat Manager is the management software. In Manager, you can register people and see results.
You can access the software of Dividat Play in a computer supplied by Dividat.
Login
On first use, the game environment screen will automatically start. You will be asked to log in. You have received the login to use Dividat Play in advance from Dividat.
Login
Person selection
Dividat Play is structured in such a way that the training is personal. After logging in, the person selection will appear. Before you can start the training, go to https://manager.dividat.ch/ and register users. Instructions for operating Dividat Manager can be found on this page in the section Manager.
Person selection
RFID badges
RFID badges can be used for selecting a person in Dividat Play. Using RFID for person selection is convenient and can improve privacy, because listing the available persons is not necessary when the badge can be used for identification.
In order to select a person by an RFID badge, the badge needs to first be registered with the person. This can be done in Play as well as the Manager.
RFID badges require an RFID reader and a current version of the Dividat driver. Using RFID functionality is easiest with the PlayOS system provided by Dividat.
RFID badge registration
Navigate to the settings of Play by clicking on the gear symbol, then select the Persons entry in the menu. Select any person from the list to view or edit their registered RFID badges.
When adding a new badge, its ID and optionally a description need to be entered. If an RFID reader device is already connected to the Dividat Play system, holding the badge against the reader will fill its ID into the form. If a reader device is not present, but the badge’s ID is known, it can also be entered using a keyboard.
Person selection with RFID
In order to select a person using their registered RFID badge, simply hold the badge to the reader device.
Game selection
After you have selected a person, you will be forwarded to the games selection menu. Depending on which modes and games you have chosen in Dividat Manager, other screens will appear. Now you can choose a game and start the training session.
Game selection
Simple
Focused alertness and psychomotor processing speed
Training goal
The training program “Simple” trains the focused
alertness – the ability to concentrate on stimuli and react to
them as fast as possible.
Task
There are four white circle on the screen. One of them
changes its colour to red. React as quickly as possible by making
a step in the direction of the red circle.
Birds
Allocation and selective alertness
Training goal
The training program “Birds” is very suitable for
beginners. It trains the correct allocation of objects.
Task
Assign the feather in the centre to the corresponding bird.
React as quickly as possible with a step in the direction of the
right bird.
Ski
Static Balance
Training goal
The training program „Ski“ is based on a new
game mode. The multiple sensors underneath the plate detect
movements of the centre of gravity which are performed by the
player. By body shifting the static balance ability is trained.
Task
Navigate the skier by shifting your body to the left and
right. Avoid trees, rocks and snow monsters!
Hexagon
Visual-spatial thinking, orientation and mental rotation ability
Training goal
The training program „Hexagon“ promotes the
spatial cognition, visual-spatial thinking and orientation.
Additionally, it trains the mental rotation ability.
Task
Step to the left or right to pass through open edges.
Targets
Target-oriented reaction
Training goal
The training program “Targets” trains targetoriented
reaction.
Task
Four targets are seen on the screen. From all directions,
balls appear and fly in the direction of one of the targets. React
with a step in the direction of the target as soon as the ball
reaches the centre of the target.
Divided
Shared Alertness
Training goal
The training program “Divided” trains the shared
alertness – the ability to react to multiple stimuli simultaneously,
especially if they are of different modalities (visual, auditory,
tactile).
Task
There are four white circles on the screen. One of them
changes its colour to red. React as quickly as possible with a step
in the direction of the red circle. Simultaneously, two acoustic
stimuli appear – a higher and a deeper sound. Make a step
forward as reaction to the higher sound and a step backward as
reaction to the deeper sound.
Simon
Working memory
Training goal
The training program “Simon” trains rehearsal in
the working memory.
Task
A series of tones with corresponding colour lights is
presented, starting with one tone and continuously adding one.
Repeat the tone series by making steps to the field with the right
colour.
Flexi
Cognitive flexibility
Training goal
The training program “Flexi” trains the ability to
switch flexibly between different stimuli and concepts.
Task
A: One number is seen in the middle of the screen and four
others around it. Make a step in the direction of the next higher
number as quickly as possible.
B: Additionally, either a circle or a triangle appears around the
number in the centre. Make a step to the next higher number and
alternate between numbers in circles and numbers in triangles.
Snake
Visual-spatial processing
Training goal
The training program “Snake” trains the ability to
orient oneself in a two-dimensional space.
Task
A white snake sneaks across the screen. Help the snake to
eat the red square through navigating it with steps to the right,
left, front or back.
Habitats
Selective Alertness
Training goal
The training program „Habitats“ trains the
selective alertness – the ability to react to certain stimuli and
ignore others. Provoked reactions must be inhibited.
Task
Animals move through the four habitats on the screen. If
an animal appears in an unusual habitat, make a step in this
direction. But make sure not to disturb animals in their proper
habitat.
Rocket
Cardio-vascular system
Training goal
The training program „Rocket“ trains the cardiovascular
system.
Task
Make steps on the centre plate to fly the rocket through
the universe. A green arrow in front of the rocket indicates that
you should increase the speed. A red bar behind the rocket
indicates that you are going too fast and should slow down.
Tetris
Spatial sense
Training goal
The training program „Tetris“ trains the
recognition of positions and incorporation of two-dimensional
objects.
Task
Different stones fall from the top of the screen. The stones
can be rotated by 90 degrees with steps forward and moved
sideways with steps to the left or right. The aim is to create
horizontal lines of ten units without gaps at the bottom of the
screen. As soon as such a line is complete, it disappears and the
still incomplete lines above it fall down and more of the screen is
free again. If you make several lines disappear at the same time,
you gain more points than for single lines.
