A lecturer at my university became blind earlier in life. I completed an assignment for an audio-programming class of his that was to create a video game that had no visual component and was played by sound alone. It ended up fire-rescue game where the place was said to be full of smoke and you heard directional sounds from various fire sources and trapped people.

That sounds like a really interesting assignment!

It makes me wonder how much effort is generally spent on developing accessible applications. I should really look into whether or not any best practice documents exist for accessibility.

I've read a couple of times that iOS is an example of a platform with good accessibility tech baked in. Although I'm sure app developers still need to expend some effort.
