    Amazing! I work with people with disabilities at a non-profit social enterprise jjslist.com. Your project has inspired my next post on the JJ's List blog. :) Will be spreading the word! p.s. This reminds me of the Dialogue In The Dark exhibition, except the experience of what it's like to walk around with vision loss will be a lot more accessible to people outside of the exhibition cities. Kudos!
