If you have a switch and a switch interface that sends a mouse click (e.g. switch adapted mouse, switch adapted trackball, switch click, Don Johnston etc.) you have what you need to get started. Watch this video demonstration to learn how to set up a one switch cause effect activity in the Big Bang apps.

One switch will move through the different animations. The second switch will play the chosen animation. You will need a switch interface that accepts two switches and sends a space and enter key (e.g. Don Johnston, Blue2 etc.). Watch this video to learn how to set up a 2 switch choice making activity in the Big Bang apps.
