Unvisualize the Interface

Audiem

Audiem is a non-visual web experience. It is inspired by online usability studies and the fact that our culture is so dependent on sight. It is designed primarily for people who are not visually impaired, to let them experience a linear audio interface without the distraction of visual content. It also provides podcasts of life without sight. Listen to them and focus on the background noises you would normally tune out. They are what the visually-impaired rely on to experience the world, sounds that most of us discard. We ignore nearly everything we hear and, apart from music, there are few sounds that we consciously focus on.
