Batter up! Its time for some Blindfold Games! A Great Way to Practice VoiceOver Gestures on iPhone!

Welcome to another fantastic Tech Connect episode brought to you by the Vision Forward Association! Today, Cory will be showcasing a few examples of Blindfold Games, which are a series of free iPhone apps that can be used to literally gamify the practice of essential VoiceOver gestures.

Blindfold Games started over ten years ago when Marty Schultz set to building accessible games from scratch. These apps open up the world of casual games for the visually impaired because the controls for each game are accessible right from the very beginning rather than working backwards from a completed game in order to retroactively make it accessible.

Nowadays there are over eighty individual Blindfold Games on iPhone. For today, we will be focusing on three of Cory's favorite examples: Bowling, Blackjack and Home Run Derby!
