I’ve used the ‘technology.’ It involves moving the iPad to dodge things and avoid hazards. I suspect it incorporates gyros in the tablet. I had technology like this 40 years ago; it was a flat plastic toy with BBs in it and a clear cover. It required me to move the game to get BBs in the holes. No fancy graphics but fun. Don’t see how this will help ADHD kids.
