Combine Google maps, GPS, web advertising and speech synthesizing to create a virtual world for the blind.
As the blind person walks down the side walk of main street USA the computer will describe the suroundings, give any hazards coming up and businesses can announce sales. Add a mike and the person can ask the GSP to guide to a new location. The sight is artificial but the interface is speech.
