<br>
Here are some methods for getting in on the ECLIPES <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
(1) The Eclipse Soundscapes app for iOs devices is perhaps the most<br>
revolutionary, since this offers the user a chance to experience this event<br>
through vibrational touch on the screen as well as through sound. A special<br>
app, available through iTunes, uses an interactive rumble map customized to<br>
the viewer's location. The Soundscapes app will geolocate you and start the<br>
narration to align with the planetary movements as they occur from your<br>
local vantage point. The specialized imaging description techniques making<br>
this possible were developed by the National Center for Accessible Media<br>
(NCAM), a part of television station WGBH of Boston, Massachusetts. . Other<br>
partners in the Eclipse Soundscapes project are the Smithsonian<br>
Astrophysical Observatory (H.E.C.) and the National Park Service. Download<br>
the app from<br>
<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/eclipse-soundscapes/id1262152991?mt=8">https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/eclipse-soundscapes/id1262152991?mt=8</a>.<br>
<br>
I am not aware that this app is available for Android devices.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
(2) If you have a way to get to Facebook, tune in Monday beginning<br>
<br>
12:00 PM EDT as the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and solar<br>
astrophysicist Henry "Trae" Winter put on a special, pre-eclipse live event<br>
geared with the blind and visually impaired in mind.<br>
<br>
Follow this project on Facebook at<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/EclipseSoundSAO/">https://www.facebook.com/EclipseSoundSAO/</a>.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
(3) The ACB Radio Interactive Channel will be offering narration of the<br>
solar eclipse. Go to <a href="http://www.acbradio.org/interactive">http://www.acbradio.org/interactive</a>. The Audio<br>
Description Project, an initiative of the American Council of the Blind<br>
(ACB) along with the Mid-Tennessee Council of the Blind, the Tennessee<br>
School for the Blind, and the Tennessee Performing Arts Center, will host<br>
this audio description of the solar eclipse.<br>
<br>
Between 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM EDT, Dr. Joel Snyder will host an event titled,<br>
"A Total Eclipse - Audio Described," on ACB Radio Interactive.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Happy listening.<br>
