[games_access] Toyota: Mobility for the Blind/VI

[Brandon Keith Biggs]

Hello,
How could someone make a game using this? The problem is that blind people
don't use these because they are horrible and not fast enough.

I am thinking of something like Eve Online doing protein sorting or Foldit
doing protein folding.
Thanks,
