Visual Processing Real Time

The idea here is that the technology for optical character recognition will evolve into a real time vision pattern recognition system that can be used by blind travelers. One of the most knowledgable and articulate proponents of this idea (and many others related to blindness and disability) is Raymond Kurzweil. Dr. Kurzweil is CEO of Kurzweil Educational Systems.
