Blind Burners Project
This groundbreaking creation is the world's first metaverse environment to experiment playfully with navigation by sound. “Blind Burners World'' will include a gallery showcasing art and photography by blind and low vision artists, a Temple of Accessibility, and a Galactic Sound Garden. Each art piece will feature an audio description written and recorded by the artist. In terms of sound navigation, the Galactic Sound Garden will invite visitors using spatial audio to move around a creatively interpreted deep playa galaxy in which the sun is represented by an interactive gong bath.
