Connect, Download & Control with the Experia IRiS+ iConverter – Download the Free IRiS+ App, Connect the iConverter & Your Apple Device Becomes an IRiS Talker with 7 Interaction Switches Description The Experia IRiS+ iConverter is a standalone IRiS Talker available across North America that turns any Apple device into the most advanced wireless controller in the Experia IRiS range. Connect the iConverter to a standard 110v outlet via the supplied low voltage transformer, download the free IRiS+ App onto any iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch, and the Apple device immediately becomes an IRiS Talker capable of controlling any paired IRiS Listener in the room. This is the standalone iConverter — the hardware unit only, without a bundled Listener. It is the right purchase for buyers who already have IRiS Listeners in an existing setup and want to add Apple device control as a new Talker option. For buyers who need both the iConverter and a fibre optic Listener as a first purchase, the Experia IRiS+ LED Fibre Optic Bundle w/ iConverter (sold separately) combines both in one. The IRiS+ App combines all IRiS Talker functions into a single touchscreen interface and adds 7 interaction switch types that are not available on any other IRiS Talker: sound activation (controlling the Listener through vocalisation), touch, vibration, movement, and more. A user who cannot press a button, roll a cube, or step on a beam can still control any IRiS Listener through sound alone. This is the most accessible IRiS Talker available. Key Features of the Experia IRiS+ iConverter Turns Any Apple Device into an IRiS Talker - Free IRiS+ App Required - Connect the iConverter to power via the included transformer, download the free IRiS+ App onto any iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch, and the Apple device immediately functions as the most advanced IRiS Talker available. Apple device not included. 7 Interaction Switches - Sound, Touch, Vibration, Movement and More - The IRiS+ App via the iConverter supports 7 distinct interaction switch types including sound activation, touch, vibration, and movement; any of these can be used to control any paired IRiS Listener, making this the most accessible IRiS Talker for users with motor limitations. Sound Activation - Control IRiS Listeners Through Vocalisation - The sound switch type means that any vocalisation — a word, a sound, a breath — immediately changes the colour of all paired IRiS Listeners. This is a control method unavailable on any other IRiS Talker and is particularly meaningful for users with limited deliberate motor movement. Controls Any IRiS Listener - Bubble Tubes, Fibre Optics, Colour Panels, and More - Once paired, the iConverter controls any Listener in the IRiS range; a single iConverter can be paired to multiple Listeners simultaneously, changing all of them at once. Use Alongside Other IRiS Talkers - The iConverter operates alongside any other IRiS Talker (Qube, Colour Selector, Balance Beam, Maze Controller) in the same setup; multiple Talkers can be paired to the same Listeners for expanded interactivity and user choice. 2 lbs - Low Voltage Transformer Included - The iConverter unit weighs 2 lbs and operates on low voltage via the included transformer; plugs into any standard 110v outlet. Apple Device Not Included - The iConverter works with any existing iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch; the Apple device is not included with the iConverter and must be supplied separately. Made in the USA - Manufactured by Experia USA. Skills Developed Through the Experia IRiS+ iConverter Cause and Effect - Through 7 Interaction Modalities - The 7 switch types mean cause and effect can be accessed through whichever interaction is most available to the individual user — from deliberate touch to incidental vocalisation to gross motor movement. Communication and Vocalisation - Sound activation creates an immediate, visible cause-and-effect reward for vocal output — any sound changes the colour of the IRiS Listeners in the room, reinforcing vocalisation as a communicative and effective action. Fine Motor Skills - The touchscreen interface of the IRiS+ App on an iPad or iPhone develops fine motor screen interaction in a motivating, high-reward sensory context. Gross Motor Skills - The movement and vibration switch types engage intentional body movement as a control mechanism, supporting gross motor awareness and volitional movement. Technology Literacy - Using an iPad or iPhone as the sensory room controller introduces digital device literacy in a sensory-reward context that is immediately meaningful and motivating. Colour Recognition - Selecting specific colour outputs through the IRiS+ App interface and observing the corresponding Listener response develops colour identification and prediction in a close, immediate context. Ideal for Existing IRiS setups adding Apple device control as an additional or alternative Talker option Users with limited motor ability for whom sound, vibration, or movement activation is more accessible than any other IRiS Talker OT clinics and therapy spaces building the most accessible and advanced IRiS Talker configuration Schools and care facilities that already use iPads or iPhones as communication or learning tools, for whom the iConverter adds IRiS Talker capability to existing devices Anyone who wants the most advanced single IRiS Talker available as a standalone purchase Specs Dimension: 10" L x 7" W x 5" H Weight: 2 lbs.
