How can he use the computer if he's blind?
|
ONe of those keyboards that has little dots that stick at and for every inch he moves the mouse the keyboard blinks so he can tell where the mouse is on the screen

one possibility is to make sure the computer is set up for blind use anyway- such as a text-to-speech output, and a braille keyboard, or one of those cool braille multi-line monitors that you see in the movie Sneakers (actually i think it was a one-liner, but anyway).
then in order to really enjoy a game on byond, it needs to be tailored/developed for blind use- lots of audio feedback would be my first concern. | |
