Abstract

Technologies are described herein for providing a hands-free and non-visually occluding interaction with object information. In one method, a visual capture of a portion of an object is received through a hands-free and non-visually occluding visual capture device. An audio capture is also received from a user through a hands-free and non-visually occluding audio capture device. The audio capture may include a request for information about a portion of the object in the visual capture. The information is retrieved and is transmitted to the user for playback through a hands-free and non-visually occluding audio output device.
