I’m wondering how my renderings from 3-D virtual worlds could be made accessible to deaf-blind Fediverse users, if there are any.
I’ve read somewhere that they have no use for visual descriptions. They want to know what someone or something feels like when touched.
But how shall I describe what something feels like that isn’t even tangible?

@jupiter_rowland Yeah it would be making stuff up, but I mean (literally and figuratively speaking) – all stuff is made up.
Does it matter if a description only amounts to “what if”, if the alternative is no description at all?
The underlying question is about what might be useful for this group of users, but it seems to me that’s slightly at odds with a desire for strict empirical accuracy.
So maybe the question is – what’s more important?
