About Notes on Blindness VR
"A magical VR Experience" - Guardian
"Mesmerizing" - Motherboard - Vice
"Poetic and timeless" - Le Monde
In 1983, after decades of steady deterioration, John Hull became totally blind.
To help him make sense of the upheaval in his life, he began documenting his experiences on audio cassette. These original diary recordings form the basis of this six-part VR experience, an interactive non fiction using new forms of storytelling and gameplay mechanics to explore his cognitive and emotional experience of blindness.
Each chapter will address a memory, a moment and a specific location from John’s audio diary, using binaural audio and real time 3D animations to create a fully immersive experience in a ‘world beyond sight’.
Notes on Blindness VR is viewable with or without virtual reality headset (cardboard mode or smartphone mode).
Notes on Blindness VR is available in English, French and German.
Runs on iPhone 5 (or later) and Ipad 5 (or later). Requires iOS 9.3.4 or later versions.
For full user experience, please use headphones, raise the volume and increase the luminosity of your phone.
Notes On Blindness VR is produced by Ex Nihilo, ARTE France, and the French startup AudioGaming, in co-production with Archer’s Mark.
It has been supported by the TFI New Media Fund and Ford Foundation – JustFilms, Centre National du Cinéma et de l’Image Animée (CNC) and Région Midi-Pyrénées.

The Combination is 1-2-3-4-5
App display glitched beyond use on iPhone XR, &/or latest iOS
TL:DR version: It doesn’t work anymore. Frankly I’m surprised it even opens– after that, totally unusable on anything close to new. Several years without updates have apparently caused the app’s interface display coding to fall too far behind iOS &/or devices; it is rendered useless by incompatibility. At first I thought the frantic maelstrom onscreen was intentional– demonstrating the descent into blindness. I’d never heard of it being experienced as 100s of dots wildly spinning/swirling/streaking around randomly; the “back to menu” button was doing the same; and there was no way to interact bc touching screen anywhere took me back to the table of contents, so I eventually figured out that it just doesn’t work display-wise. The audio is fine, and until you enter a chapter screen is stable. After that, no way to do anything except back and forth with TOC. Can’t even return to actual main menu. Tried the cardboard VR view and it does the same thing: completely chaotic swirling dots and back to TOC button swirling & flicking around also. It never resolves into any sort of discernible image like the preview pics, and when it instructs you to do something like tap a part of the screen or look at an object, you can’t do either. It’s really too bad; this seems fascinating and I’d love tp experience it as it’s supposed to be, but years without updates while iOS & devices changed significantly have apparently rendered the app completely unusable. Such a shame.
