Digital App: Sound design
The "problem": AR storybooks are typically limited to visual experiences. The "solution": use audible captions and descriptions for low vision or vision impaired users.

The last section (Accessibility Examples) talked a bit about the pain points found in AR storybooks that are available on the market. This piece will focus on the lack of audio text-to-speech options for AR storybooks. When I made my first AR storybook, this was something that came to mind but I didn't prioritize it over other features such as high quality 3D objects, animations, etc. Remember that if you want to build an AR storybook experience for a certain age group, it's incredibly important to make it as accessible as possible within that age group. Not only will you be able to provide value by creating an experience that even more people can use, but you'll also be contributing to the ongoing effort of making AR accessible.
