Space-mapping involves mapping the environment the subject travels in. "Visual presentation" is ONE type of "output"; we have MORE than one sense. How do bats navigate in the dark? Where do they get their information from?

Our unsighted friend is not a bat Bats have sophisticated processing skills inherent We do not Any processing can of course be performed off board however the ultimate question remains how to present this 3D information to our human subject I can think of no other than a 2D acoustic array which presents the 3'rd D via acoustic variations to wit i.e. e.g. tone frequency , volume , beep frequency etc. - Cheerio

Processing skills = CPU. That's why it's called "augmented".
AR cameras capture 3D information in digital form. The digital form can reproduced as visual, audio, etc.
The bat was a metaphor; more akin to your solution than you're apparently aware of.

Set it up as a pair of glasses to reflect the viewing area of a sighted person. Feeding into a set of ear plugs. I would assume the brain is wired for forward looking, bi focal vision rather than surround vision.

I doubt humans hear that well.
And such a device would of course rendering hearing other things, like oncoming automobiles, difficult.

I don't know how I feel about intellectual property.
I'm not sure I like the idea of it being transferable. After all it doesn't exactly make sense. If I created something using my mind, chances are I can do it again. Even if I can transfer that skill to someone else, *I still have it*. If I "sell you the rights" then I'm basically creating an artificial limit in terms of what I can create. I can no longer create the thing I sold even though I know how.
The other, perhaps more important thing is, I feel like it goes against human advancement. If we're not sharing our knowledge with each other, it is a dramatic waste of humanity's potential. I can't even imagine how much further along STEM would be if we didn't put up artificial barriers around innovation.
On the other hand, I need to eat. My intellectual creations are labor - real work, and I've earned my keep through it.
I wish I could think of a better way to skin this cat.

A popular way seems to be to publish the source code as "open-source", wait a while until enough people are hooked and have contributed, and then proclaim that there is an "advanced paid version" with all kind of nice extra features

I agree entirely about the "transfer" of IP. It's fine to say the new "owner" has the right to use it as they wish. It's the removal of rights from the original creator of the IP that is the issue.
I have, over many years, developed a simple application architecture (a "framework" even) that has allowed me to develop flexible, extensible web applications very quickly and reliably. The code is well-tested and robust, and I can build application-specific functionality on top easily. There are no 3rd party frameworks / tools (other than JQuery at the browser) and, being mine, it suits my style perfectly.
However I've developed and delivered a number of projects for different clients all based on that underlying framework. Each has wanted me to transfer IP rights to them, which I have. But to what extent does the IP reside in that underlying framework? When I "clone" the framework as the basis of a new project, I do tend to rename everything; or at least the name prefixes. So for instance the master page is renamed from MSLMaster.master to LPMaster.master to GPOMaster.master etc depending on if the client is MSL, LP or GPO. I do this largely for my own benefit in fact; I'm often working on multiple projects simultaneously and it can get very confusing if the same object names appear in every project. I also cling (in vain I'm sure) to the hope that since the code is "different" I'm not breaching my own IP agreements! (Thankfully my clients don't overlap functionally and knowing them all pretty well, I doubt very much if they care that I use a common code base. In fact they are aware and are pleased as it means I can deliver reliable software faster and cheaper than writing from scratch...)

That is why we have different methods of protecting IP:
- Patents give the inventor the right to forbid anyone from using his/her invention, but require disclosure of the invention
- Trade secrets do not require disclosure, but do have other requirements
- Copyright also gives certain protections, but does not prevent someone from reinventing your IP using a different method
- Licensing (exclusive and non-exclusive) may be tailored as you wish.
You pays your money and takes your choice.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Forgive me, but I don't see how that isn't just different flavors of the same basic problem.

Exactly! Pick your choice. You have alternatives. Different flavors of giving your rights away, for different amounts of money, in different ways.

There is no such thing as "intellectual property". But lots of lawyers are happy to take people's money to argue that there is. Only the lawyers win.

I'd argue there *is* such a thing by virtue of the fact that people made it a thing, and there's power involved.
For example, I can invoke the power of the state against me by stealing your employer's "intellectual property"
That's very real. They can at the very least, render a judgment and garnish my wages, or at worst, throw me in jail, probably depending on the particular nature of the stolen IP and the circumstances.
So yeah, intellectual property, even being a social construct, is pretty real.
