[Pibe-division] New iBooks Textbook Helps Visually Impaired Visit the Stars Through Touch and Sound

[Eric Guillory]

Hi Everyone,

I literally just saw the below thanks to Twitter. I plan to download and try it out on an iPad Mini very soon and am excited and proud that the NFB played a crucial part in making this book a reality. I look forward to hearing any feedback anyone might have after evaluating it.
