As I lose my sight, as the world clouds, I get the machine to describe the things I can no longer see. The table is 2.48 metres away. The glass is adjacent to your right hand. Practical observations to help me navigate the world.
And when I go to the beach where we met I ask, ‘What does it look like?’
And I hoped to hear your voice say, ‘It’s beautiful.’
But the machine says, ‘A six mile long coastal stretch consisting largely of sand.’
