Have you ever been traveling and wanted to hear about your surroundings as you move? Well, now you can!

While attending the NFB National Convention in Austin Texas, White Canes Connect host Simon Bonenfant sat down with Dirk and Neill Vander Wilt of Heritage Harmony Group, creator of Audio Vista. Using a compilation of image sources, Audio Vista extracts visual data about an outdoor location and generates AI-generated descriptions of those images, read aloud in real time.

Created by Dirk, Heritage and Harmony Group's CTO, and supported by his brother, President Neill, the conversation discusses how the idea was born, the technical nuances of how information is aggregated, and the potential for future developments.
