Yes Marcio,your assumption is correct. I'm not totally blind. I do however have RP which has caused my low-vision and will cause my eventual blindness. I work as a web software developer/programmer. Interestingly enough you can build virtual reality with web technologies. "The Owl Field" is a 3D audio storytelling production company. Here is the URL: https://www.owlfield.com/
