Blind person here. I can confidently say that vision AIs for navigating the real world are pretty much hype. It is a bandwidth and latency issue. Latency from camera to AI, and bandwidth from device to brain... Please, don't hype accessibility just for your personal fun. There are people out there with real problems, and dangling impossible solutions before their "eyes" is pretty much cruel.

> describing the beautiful scenes they’re in

And this part is ableism at its best. Do you eally think what people like me are missing are computer generated descriptions of our surroundings, so that we notice the beauty? Reminds me of the Cochlear implant debate some people from the deaf community have. Is my life less interesting because I dont see your colours? Am I a lesser human that needs treatmenet because I dont see your beauty? Me thinks no.
