Where Can I Download the Kinemo Setup App?

What Mounting Option Should I Use?

The best mounting option depends on which body part you plan to use and where you want to wear your Kinemo One.
Common options include straps, neckwear, or a clip, each designed for different body locations.
You can learn more about mounting options in the Accessories section in this page.
Do I Need a Tracer?

Not always. The Kinemo One controller includes its own built-in motion sensor, so many users can control their devices without a separate Tracer. 

A Tracer is only needed when the Kinemo One controller cannot be worn on the
body part you want to use. In those cases, the Tracer's smaller size makes it easier to place on body parts such as the head, cheek, eyebrow, jaw, hand, finger, foot, among others.
Do I Need a Jack Cable?

A jack cable is only needed if you want to control a switch-enabled device through Kinemo One's physical switch output. Examples include attendant call systems, user switch on power wheelchairs, and other equipment that accepts a standard switch input. 

If you only plan to control Bluetooth devices such as an AAC device, computer, tablet, or smartphone, you do not need a jack cable. 

You can learn more about the available jack accessories and compatible devices in Accessories.

Use Cases

One movement can open up a world of possibilities

Whether you are communicating on an AAC device, accessing a computer, calling for assistance, controlling a toy, or playing a game, Kinemo One transforms your available movement into reliable control.

Explore some of the most common ways people use Kinemo One to access their technology.

Select Items on Your Screen with Auto Scanning
A close-up of a smartphone front-facing against a black background, showing the iOS home screen with app icons arranged in a grid. The phone has a dark gray to black bezel and a colorful wallpaper with orange, pink, and purple tones.

If you use Auto Scanning on an AAC device, tablet, or smartphone, Kinemo One lets you make selections using a simple body gesture.

In Item mode, your device automatically navigates through your screen by highlighting items one at a time. When the screen item you want is highlighted, perform a gesture and Kinemo One will activate the Select command.

If you prefer to rely on crosshairs instead of highlighted items, Kinemo One allows you to perform one gesture to stop the first and the second scanning lines, allowing you to select a precise location on the screen.

Navigate Your Screen with Item Scanning
A colorful educational grid board with labeled tiles such as magic word, jump back, who, what, why, where, when, now, then, daily, play, to, want, come, see, this, that, chat, news, my, is, stop, go, put, in, on, position, places, it, can, like, get, good, a, the, and, with, people, have, questions, actions, describe, little words, not, messages, spelling, and abc.

If your device uses Manual Scanning, Kinemo One can help you navigate and select items using just one body part.

Kinemo One can recognize up to three gestures from the same body part:

  • Single gesture
  • Double gesture
  • Triple gesture

A typical setup might be:

  • Single gesture: Move to the next item on the screen.
  • Double gesture: Select the highlighted item.
  • Triple gesture: Perform an additional action such as Previous Item, Back, Home, or another command supported by your device.

This lets you navigate AAC devices, smartphones, and tablets, while using only one body part.

Add a Clicker to Your Pointer Device

If you already use a head mouse, eye gaze system, or another pointer device, Kinemo One can serve as your clicker. 

Instead of relying on dwell clicking or other methods that can be unreliable, you can simply perform a gesture to trigger a click. Kinemo One can be configured to send: 

  • Left click 
  • Double click 
  • Screen tap 

This gives you a quick and reliable way to select items while continuing to use your preferred pointer device. 
Call for Assistance

Need a way to call for assistance but cannot use a button?
Kinemo One can connect directly to many attendant call and nurse call systems. 

Using its jack output, Kinemo One connects to most call systems and replaces the traditional physical switch. When you perform a gesture, Kinemo One sends a switch activation to the call system, allowing you to request assistance using the movement that works best for you.
Control Your Wheelchair's Power Seating Functions

Kinemo One can help you independently control the power seating functions of your wheelchair using a simple body gesture. 

Using the jack output, Kinemo One connects to the wheelchair's User Switch input. Once connected, your wheelchair can interpret each gesture as a switch activation and perform functions such as: 

  • Tilt 
  • Recline 
  • Elevate 
  • Leg Rest Adjustment 
  • Other power seating functions supported by your wheelchair 

This gives you reliable access to your wheelchair's seating functions, allowing you to adjust your position and perform pressure relief independently, and eliminating the need for physical switches that can be difficult to position and operate. 
Access Your Wheelchair's Menu Functions

Kinemo One can help you access and navigate your wheelchair's menu functions using a simple body gesture. 

Using the jack output, Kinemo One connects to the wheelchair's User Switch input, allowing you to open menus, navigate options, and make selections without using the joystick or built-in buttons. 

Common uses include: 

  • Changing drive profiles 
  • Turning the Wheelchair On and Off 

This provides an alternative way to access important wheelchair functions when hand-operated controls are difficult or impossible to use, allowing you to manage your wheelchair more independently. 
Access Independent Feeding
A white robotic food preparation and serving system with a curved arm, a round divided tray holding mixed foods, and a small handheld tool with a red and black head, shown on a black background.

Kinemo One can help you operate an Obi robotic feeding system using simple body gestures.

Using our Kinemo wireless switch receiver, Kinemo One can function as one or more of the switches used to control the Obi feeder. Depending on your Obi setup, gestures can be used to: 

  • Select a food compartment 
  • Advance to the next compartment 
  • Initiate a feeding cycle 

Kinemo One can recognize multiple gestures from the same body part, allowing a single wearable controller to operate one or both Obi switch functions. This enables users with limited hand function to maintain greater independence during mealtimes.
Activate Switch-Adapted Toys

Kinemo One can connect directly to switch adapted toys using its jack output. 

Instead of pressing a physical switch, you activate the toy using a body gesture. This allows children and adults with limited hand function to interact with toys independently. 

Switch-enabled toys are commonly used for recreation, engagement, and cause-and-effect learning activities.
Add Buttons to Your Gaming Setup
A retro gaming setup on a desk featuring a white Nintendo Classic Mini Console, a blue wireless controller, a mechanical keyboard with blue backlighting, and a monitor displaying a racing game.

Turn your body into a gaming button.

Using its jack output, Kinemo One can connect to adaptive gaming devices such as the Xbox Adaptive Controller and other switch-compatible gaming systems. A gesture can then function as one of the controller's buttons, allowing you to perform in-game actions without using your hands.

Whether you're gaming with a joystick, head mouse, or adaptive controller, Kinemo One can add an additional button wherever you need it.

Accessories

Mounting Options

Three navy blue adjustable fabric straps with metal buckle closures, arranged vertically on a plain white background.

The best mounting option for the Kinemo controller depends on which body part you plan to use.

Common mounting options include: 

  • Neckwear: Ideal when using tracers on the head or the face. Keeps the controller positioned around the neck. 
  • Strap: Ideal when using tracers on the finger, hand, arm, foot, or leg. Keeps the controller fasten around the arm or the leg. Optionally, straps can also be used to fasten the controller on a wheelchair, armrest, or other external supports. 
  • Clip: Easily attaches the controller to clothing or other garments if body mounting is not practical or convenient.

Jack Output

Use Kinemo One as a replacement for a traditional mechanical switch, like a push-button or a clicker. 

Kinemo One includes a 3.5 mm jack output that allows it to connect directly to a wide range of switch-enabled devices. Instead of pressing a mechanical switch, you can activate the device using a body gesture. 

Common devices that can be controlled through the jack output include: 

  • AAC devices with switch ports 
  • Nurse call and attendant call systems 
  • Power wheelchair with a user switch 
  • Switch-enabled toys 
  • Xbox Adaptive Controller and other adaptive gaming equipment 

Kinemo One can be configured to send a short, medium, and a long press, allowing it to work with the switch requirements of different devices. The duration of a switch can be configured in the Kinemo app. 

To use the jack output, simply connect the jack cable between Kinemo One and your target device. Once connected, your gesture becomes the switch activation.
