Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A method and system for communicating to sighted persons who cannot read a standard alphanumeric text, the informational content of that text includes an alphanumeric text is converted to a machine-readable set of informationally corresponding data, and then scanned to obtain an informational content data set. The informational content data set is then correlated with hieroglyphs that are representative of the actions, physical objects and the relationship between the actions and the physical objects presented by the informationally corresponding data set. The one or more hieroglyphs are then syntactically arranged to pictorially represent the informationally corresponding data set for a sighted person thereby to inform them of the actions, physical objects and the relationship between those actions and physical objects as was originally presented in the standard alphanumeric text.
