I deal with modern computing devices with no visual display - or at least, the visual display is not used. My current Day Job is in accessibility, and I make extensive use of screen readers (your Android phone comes with TalkBack, and if you're an iSerf you have VoiceOver). It changes the design space a lot - not only because 'display' is spoken word rather than graphics, but because the screen reader inherently serializes the experience of the UI.
