alinv writes "Australia's CSIRO has developed a multi-media browsing tool callled CMWeb, which makes surfing audio and video content as esy as text (view a screenshot here). The tool, called Continuous Media Web (CMWeb), enables user to activate a link within a video or audio file,and be taken to a related clip in another file, and then return to the original or follow further links into other subject areas, in much the same way they currently do with Web pages."

    Sorry to reply to a Funny with a serious comment, but just FYI, places do make videogames for the blind. Not like you should be expected to know that.. except gamegirladvance is required reading for any videogame enthusiast.
