Question for blind gamers about a dedicated blind stream. (self.Blind)
submitted 8y ago by maccers3000
I often listen to streams while going to bed mainly hearthstone as it's mainly talking with the occasional sound effect. As I lay there I tried to work out what the cards were based on the sound and the commentary. I then got thinking is this what blind gamers do?

I looked into gaming for the blind and it audio based. I was also curious on how they use the internet.

They are obviously highly hindered in the visual awe some games provide but I'm assuming that their imaginations are alot more exciting? Therefore I was wondering if there would be any interest in an audio stream or a series of podcasts talking through the visuals sort of like a story? Or if anything like this exists so I can hear for myself.

Gaming is my favorite hobby and feel rather blessed I can enjoy it and I would like to somehow help someone who can't enjoy it in the same way I can.

Mac.

Look up video demonstrations on youtube of 'jaws' and 'voiceover', really really cool tech. If you just search for one of those words together with the word blind, you should get loads come up. Jaws is how it works on Windows, voiceover is how it works on smartphones.
