There is an eerily similar science-fiction novel, called "A Blind Traveler down a dark river," that deals with what Matthew is trying to do here. I mention it here because I see great potential for AQ-like virtual environments. Making maps is going to be key to that potential, which I think can be used to educate and enhance both blind and sighted peoples' understanding or new places. I'm trying to say that this *DOES* have real-world potential, and it's important that we be in the loop.
