Patent US 7,835,545

A method and system for supporting and augmenting a non-reading sighted person's capabilities to interact with her environment using visual language hieroglyphics and computer sensory perception. This invention provides navigational support by displaying orientation hieroglyphics in a dialog with the user similar to that of a “seeing-eye” dog and visually-disabled owner. The present invention supports and augments a person's capability to plan, problem solve, and learn. This is accomplished through interactive dialogue executed in real time between the non-reading sighted person and the system, by utilizing an artificially intelligent method for providing visual communication and cognitive reasoning support for non-reading sighted persons.
