In this episode of Double Tap, Steven Scott and Shaun Preece dive into the world of accessible space exploration. They discuss Jakob Rosin’s innovative approach to tracking NASA’s Artemis II mission for blind and low-vision users. Using AI and vibe coding, Rosin built a real-time dashboard that converts complex visual mission data—speed, distance, orbital position—into a fully accessible experience, complete with an audio radar that lets listeners “hear” the spacecraft’s journey from Earth to the Moon. The conversation explores how small, community-driven solutions like Rosen’s can fill accessibility gaps left by major tech companies. The hosts also discuss the rise of vibe coding, AI-driven development, Apple App Store submission surges, and the ongoing struggle to hold tech companies accountable for accessibility.
