Hi Janina, Last week I attended W4A. One of the papers/demonstration is "WebSight: Using AR and WebGL shaders to assist the visually impaired". Basically the system highlights contours, such as around people, text, and other objects. I had similar reaction about relationship to heads-up display in cars. Taking this further, both are prosthetic that enhance vision.
