"With something like google glasses for the closed captioning and wireless headphones for the blind, you wouldnt see or hear anything that you dont today."
I have studied the writing of screenplays, and a screenplay - by definition - is a story written with an emphasis on visual images. I am sorry, but you just cannot do a movie for blind people. Right now, blind people can go to a movie and hear the sound track, but you cannot make a blind person SEE a movie.

“but you cannot make a blind person SEE a movie.”
I always wondered if the blind took mind altering controlled substances, would they “see” stuff? Hallucinate? Would be hard to describe what you’ve never seen.

That’s a whole ‘nother aspect to it. Technology can only do so much. Maybe someday, visual images can be fed directly into the brain. There may be research going on but, AFAIK, such a thing is years, if not, decades away from widespread use. What a breakthrough that would be for the blind.
