SoundLines is an accessible iOS app with the aim of teaching blind or visually impaired children basic geometry concepts. It is designed as a game where the user has to connect a kitten to a cat following a line, whose direction and shape changes in the different levels, guided by sound spatialization, VoiceOver instructions and different sounds.
