Abstract
Disclosed herein are communication systems, methods, and devices for providing communications based on visual markers. An exemplary communication system can include an image receipt unit, an image processing unit, a context processing unit, and an audio output device. The image receipt unit can receive an image of a surrounding area. The image processing unit can extract visual markers from the image. The context processing unit can identify an environmental context based on the visual markers. The communication system can then map the environmental context to a set of potential communication outputs. The communication system can receive a selection of a potential communication output from the user, and the audio output device can audibly output the selected communication output.
