Create a Visual Scene

To create a visual scene, select a background image, set up the page, and add buttons.

Selecting a Background Image

Start by having the picture you want to use for the background image on the device. You can take a picture using your device if it has a built-in camera. Otherwise, transfer the picture to the device from a computer.

1. Tap Menu- Edit Page.
2. Tap the location to add a linking button (the button you wish to link to your visual scene) and tap Edit This Button.
3. Add a label, scroll down to the Button Actions section, and replace the existing action with Navigate.
4. Tap the + in the upper right corner to create your new visual scene page.
5. Enter a page name.
6. Adjust the number of rows and columns on the page. Choosing as many rows and columns as possible will make it easier to create buttons that fit with the images on the page.
7. Scroll down to Import Image.
8. Tap Import Image and take a picture or find the image you want. A thumbnail view of the image will appear above Import Image.
9. Tap Save, select No Animation, and tap Save again.
10. To verify that the button navigates to your new page, tap Done to exit Edit Mode.
11. Tap the button to navigate to the new page.
12. Tap Menu and tap Edit Page, and proceed to the next topic, “Adding Buttons”.

Adding Buttons

Now with the background picture in place, using the blank buttons, buttons can be created that speak or move to other pages. In our example, let’s create a button that speaks “Horse” whenever tapping on the horse in the picture (assuming we used a picture with a horse in it).

1. Tap the upper most left corner location that covers the horse.
2. Tap Create New Button.
3. Type Horse into the button message box.
4. Set the Transparent option to the On position. That way the scene behind it comes through.
5. Tap Save.
6. Tap the newly created button and choose Change Button Size.  From here, you can adjust the button height and width so that it fits the entire image.
7. Tap Save.
8. Create the remaining buttons and re-size them to go along with the scene. All the buttons can have their own size and shape.
9. When you finish, tap Done
