Interesting topic. since I got my HTC Vive a few months ago I've been thinking a lot about how virtual reality would work for the visually impaired. I've been thinking about it in terms of applications for games and just general computer use. High quality 3D audio productions are very immersive. Add on top of that immersion head tracking and you've got a powerful combination for virtual reality. Right now virtual reality is looking for a wireless solution. But if you were to create an application for VR that just use audio you could easily do it wirelessly as no graphics data needs to be transmitted. I've started experimenting building web VR applications for the visually impaired. It's a slow going process as a technology is still very new. If you haven't yet been exposed to high quality 3D audio productions check out "the owl field"
