Many would perhaps think that people who are visually impaired may shy away from an app such as Instagram since it is meant to see the photos you share, but is it? Not according to Tommy Edison, also known as BlindFilmCritic who has created a tutorial of how the visually impaired can and does use Instagram using an iPhone to navigate and participate. This is simply amazing.
