Hi Ryan, Hmmm....I've never had a problem playing air hockey. In fact, I consider it rather accessible as is. I've beaten several sighted players at air hockey and I'm totally blind. Is this not the case for other blind players?
As for how I play air hockey I can hear the puck sliding around without a beeper. Usually if I hear it close to my goal I attempt to block and most of the time I'm successful at it. It just takes practice. Cheers! On 6/8/12, Ryan Strunk <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Steady, > That's kind of my point, though.
