... Un ejemplo de esto es IC2D [3], una herramienta gráfica para no videntes que permite a los usuarios construir animaciones basadas en sus dibujos a través de rotaciones y trazos de movimiento. WebSound [4], por ejemplo, es una herramienta que permite a los usuarios no videntes acceder de forma fácil a funcionalidades de un navegador estándar como Internet Explorer. AudioBatteShip [5] es una adaptación al tradicional juego de mesa Combate Naval, donde aprendices, tanto videntes como no videntes, pueden interactuar entre sí para mejorar su memoria abstracta, la abstracción espacial y la percepción háptica. ...
