Play Tic Tac Toe with the computer as your opponent!

Tennis builds on the skills used in the Tic Tac Toe games, such as the use of the keyboard and the movement in the two-dimensional audio space, but also helps students to develop new skills, such as to perceive movement and speed in a three-dimensional audio space and to interact within it (binaural processing).

In Curve children use the basic keys of the computer keyboard so that they can “hear” the graph of an equation expressed in notes and afterwards to repeat it before the time limit expires. In this way, they develop a sense of the graph through the help of the sound.
