The game board starts with 26 envelopes, and once you've picked your envelopes, there are 25 envelopes remaining.<o:p></o:p></p><p>In the first round, you pick 7 envelopes to remove from the game board, and as each is removed, you are told how much was in that envelope. At the end of the first round, the banker will make you an offer to pay you for your envelope. If you accept the offer, you receive the cash offered by the banker. If you reject the offer, you continue to the next round.<o:p></o:p></p><p>The game continues in this manner for several more rounds, until you are at the last envelope. You can either pick that envelope, or keep your envelope. Once you pick one of the envelopes, you are told what you now have, and what you gave up. You get to keep the cash in the envelope you pick.<o:p></o:p></p><p>There are about 10 rooms where the game is played with different amounts of cash, and you can enter any of the rooms if you've won enough cash.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Blindfold Deal or Not comes with coins to play for free, and then you can purchase unlimited play.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Current Version: 1.1.9 (August 29, 2017)<o:p></o:p></p><p><a href="https://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/games/blindfold-deal-or-not">Read Blindfold Deal Or Not's AppleVis iOS App Directory entry for more information</a><br><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/blindfold-deal-or-not/id1235874956?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo=8&at=11l4LS">Visit Blindfold Deal Or Not's App Store page</a><o:p></o:p></p><h4>Blindfold Flappy (iOS, Free with In-App Purchases)<o:p></o:p></h4><p>Blindfold Flappy is a fully accessible audio game, inspired by the mobile game Flappy Bird. The objective is to move your bird so it's flies through the holes in the pipes.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Your bird is at the left side of the screen, and falls from the top of the screen to the bottom; your bird pops up a little each time you tap the screen.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Constantly moving towards your bird are pipes that run from the top of the screen to the bottom of the screen; each pipe has a gap, or a hole, in it. Your task is to move your bird so that when the pipe is about to hit your bird, your bird is lined up with the hole, and passes through it.<o:p></o:p></p><p>This game can be played with or without headphones or earbuds, but when you are starting out, earbuds will make it easier. Once you get the hang of it, you can just listen to the sounds.<o:p></o:p></p><p>In your left ear, you hear a tone that indicates where your bird is. As the bird drops, the tone drops in pitch. Each time you tap the screen, the tone increases in pitch. In your right ear, you hear a tone that indicates where the mid-point of the hole in the pipe is. As the pipe gets closer and closer to you, the sound gets louder.<o:p></o:p></p><p>To ensure your bird will make it through the hole, you want the tones in both your ears to be as close in pitch as possible.<o:p></o:p></p><p>The game comes with coins; you need one coin to play. More coins are available as an in-app upgrade.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Current Version: 1.0.8 (August 19, 2017)<o:p></o:p></p><p><a href="https://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/games/blindfold-flappy">Read Blindfold Flappy's AppleVis iOS App Directory entry for more information</a><br><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/blindfold-flappy/id1248903865?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo=8&at=11l4LS">Visit Blindfold Flappy's App Store page</a><o:p></o:p></p><h4>Eclipse Soundscapes (iOS, Free)<o:p></o:p></h4><p>The Eclipse Soundscapes Project app is specially designed so that people who are blind and visually impaired can share in the awe and wonder of astronomical events in real time with their sighted peers.<o:p></o:p></p><p>The app is a joint effort between The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), NASA’s Heliophysics Education Consortium (HEC), the National Center for Accessible Media (NCAM), and the National Park Service (NPS). Features include an interactive “Rumble map”; audio descriptions of key features of the eclipse; a play-by-play description of the total solar eclipse as it is happening in the user’s area; and a countdown clock to the next upcoming eclipse.<o:p></o:p></p><p>The “Rumble Map” gives the user the sensation of “feeling” the Sun during an eclipse. Our technology translates images of key eclipse features into a series of unique frequency modulated tones that map out variations in light and dark as the user explores the image with their fingertips. These tones are specially designed to make the user’s mobile device shake, or rumble, in response to the changes.<o:p></o:p></p><p>After the eclipse, the Eclipse Soundscapes app will provide access to a database of soundscape recordings from U.S. National Parks and other urban and rural locations so that users can experience how eclipses change the behavior of different species, including humans. During the next five years, the app will expand to include other eclipses and astronomical objects of interest giving people who are blind and visually impaired – and everyone else – a new way to engage with the universe around them.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Current Version: 1.2.3 (August 16, 2017)<o:p></o:p></p><p><a href="https://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/education/eclipse-soundscapes">Read Eclipse Soundscapes' AppleVis iOS App Directory entry for more information</a><br><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/eclipse-soundscapes/id1262152991?mt=8&at=11l4LS">Visit Eclipse Soundscapes' App Store page</a><o:p></o:p></p><h4>iAccessibility (iOS, Free)<o:p></o:p></h4><p>iAccessibility believes that everyone can use technology, and our goal is to make technology accessible to everyone.

Tweaking My Mac: Accessing Life with Adaptive Technology<o:p></o:p></h4><p>By Nicholas | August 21, 2017<o:p></o:p></p><p>I love customizing and tweaking my Mac operating System. From finding those little speed boosts to reducing keypresses for navigation, there is something exciting about finding settings that actually help and make things easier and more comfy. If it were a car it would be a low-rider and have pin-stripes. A stereo would be blasting Led Zeppelin or Santana with a thumpin' subwoofer in the trunk. Some fuzzy dice would be hanging from the mirror. Oops, showing my age again.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Since my Mac has nothing from which to hang my dice, I tend to focus my tweaks on functionality and ease of use. Economy of movement is usually my main theme. I hear comments about how difficult VO is on the Mac, alluding to the use of Control and Option as the VO keys. Yet I find many ways around this by looking for those little details and settings that help me augment or bypass their use entirely.<o:p></o:p></p><p><a href="https://www.applevis.com/blog/assistive-technology-macos-opinion/yo-human-tweaking-my-mac-accessing-life-adaptive-technology">Read More: "Yo, Human!
