Inspiring video of Skype used for augmented vision

While I write here mostly about technology, my interest has always been in the social impacts of all this communication technology. Here on the Today show was a fascinating story of someone who is blind using VoIP (and specifically Skype) to allow him to "see" courtesy of a remote person seeing his view and telling him what is there.

Fascinating...

P.S. Thanks to Chaim Haas for passing this along...
