So at my job, we have a cafeteria that students and staff can eat at. I usually go there, since the meals are cheap and fairly good. Now, there is some renovation going on on the roof of that building, so we have to go to another school to get food. Well, that school is across a big, open parking lot. Soundscape is the only app that reliably got me there and back. I mean, I'm glad Microsoft researched it, but at what point does a research project become something people actually depend on? Like I'm gonna have to really sink time and a bunch of nerves getting lost, on finding another product. Goodmaps is close, and I'm glad it's cross-platform, but it only announces an update after like 50 feet, by which time I could be way off course. Ah well. Accessibility capitalism. At least at one point Microsoft readily told us they'd treat accessibility like a business, or something like that. Devin Prater r.d.t.pra...@gmail.com
