Accessibility
When I first shared this whole idea at WisCon, one person who showed interest was a blind woman. She couldn't see the dioramas, but it delighted her just to hear them described.
She encouraged me, and said she'd love to know if I ever manage to get this off the ground.
That experience touched me deeply, and made me think about how inclusive I want to be.
If I get the resources to do this on a large scale, I want to make it as accessible to disabled people as I can... and this will include accommodations for the blind.
In fact, this could start now. It shouldn't take much more work than my base concept:
Headphones can be available for guests to hear spoken descriptions of the exhibit. The apartment numbers and resident names can be printed in Braille near each apartment, and blind guests can be given an MP3 player where they can choose a number to play a sound file describing that apartment.
Or it could be a website accessible on the visitors' smartphones-- they can use whatever interface they're accustomed to using, and access descriptions on the site that they can listen to with their own headphones.
(Must consult my computer-savvy partners to figure out exactly how that would work.)
May also include Braille booklets with the same info.
I'd even like to add some large, durable dioramas that are designed to be explored by touch.
