Getting a feel for lockpicking (opening up the world of locksport for the visual impaired) (hackerhotel2025)
Lockpicking is a sport where you open locks without force and mostly without keys. While doing this activity nothing much can be seen of the actual process. In stead you need to rely on sound and feel (tactile feedback from the lock).
Therefor a lot of people (including us) think a visual impaired person could be rather good at this (as they are more trained to use the "other" senses)
The firsts steps into locksport however are VERY visually heavy (video's, pictures, diagrams) which makes it rather hard for a visual impaired person to get started.
We believe we fixed that now.
