The game has been built according to the designs of some public buildings, known as acoustic signals used to help players find a group of blind people and remove them from the premises, with their avoidance of monsters stolen jewelry and then hide them in a different location.

Researchers hope that the interaction in that game, over time, to help the players to create mental maps not only to simulate buildings, but the real world in General.

Dr. merabet published a video explaining the experience, saying that "we can use the audio signal and measure the performance of the transition from virtual to physical world game."

It should be noted that this technology will benefit approximately 285 million blind people around the world, as well as other visual disabilities, cognitive disability or disease.
