The Hague (The Netherlands) is redesigning one of its parks. It is asking
its citizens to choose 1 out of 3 options: A, B or C. It is using a "virtual
tour <http://clients.skycap.com/gemeentedenhaag/dehorst/tour.html>;" to
present the options.

But this virtual tour has accessibility issues, in my view.

Personal thoughts:

- Make navigation keyboard accessible (including focus indicator)
- Give screenreader users (hidden) hints: "to the right", "to the left",
"zoom in"
- etcetera...

Challenges:

- Text alternative for what is basically one big image...


Does anyone know how to make this accessible?
