invisiblebloke	'Seeing' with Skype Oct 16 2008, 4:24 AM EDT Ed Gallagher is a keen sailor in the San Francisco Bay area and has slowly lost his sight over the last ten years. He wanted to continue his hobby and so put together a solution using a head-mounted video camera and a video Skype link to a friend on terra firma. The friend can now see the boat and where it is going and direct Ed so that he can sail solo in the Bay.
