I've mentioned over the past couple of months that I'm designing An Alexa adventure-style game that can be used as a virtual map for visually impaired people to explore the MIT campus before they physically arrive. I've been trying to find a way to create a demo, since I don't know code, and this looks as if it might allow me to do that. Aside from my personal reasons, blind people should have access to the same creative tools as sighted people.

Ebon Sky Studios, a blind game development team, has designed Sable, a tool which allows blind people to create their own games without having to know code.

The team is hoping to win the Holman Prize, which awards financial backing to blind innovators
