The other day I saw a blind person who appeared to be navigating using his phone camera and headphones. Saw him cross the road, etc.

Did you notice whether he appeared to be talking to someone? I wonder if he was using a GPS-based navigation app or a remote assistance service like Aira (https://aira.io/).
