> Tina and I came across an app called Eclips sound scapes developed by the National Center for Accessible Media from WGBH and other companies.
> 
> They've developed an app for both IOS and android that allows blind people a way to see the eclips in realtime. The name of the app is called Eclips sound scapes and yes it's available for both platforms. Tomorrow in various parts of the country, blind people can navigate around the ap and feel the sun moving as well as the moon moving with various feedback sounds and vibrations. Along with this there will be audio description in real time and right now, you can listen to various parts of other solar displays.

> Their plan is to use this app for other solar events such as eclips and comets.
