> It would be nice to have an cheap and open source alternative to the currently available products, where the user gets fed information rather than continuously requesting it

I think you need to triple-check whether users actually find that nice.

Assuming that keeping the text limited to what interests the user will stay an unsolved problem for the foreseeable future, I guesspect that they prefer a middle ground where they aren’t continuously bombarded with text, but it’s easy to get that flow going. For example, having that text feed on only while a button is being held down.

I guesspect that because I think users would soon be fed up with an assistent that says there’s a painting on the wall or a church tower in the distance every time they turn their head.

Both can be useful information, but not when you hear them for the thousandth times while in your own house/garden.

Yes, repeated information is not great in many cases. A more advanced system could possibly keep track of which information is new and which information is already known to the user.

I wanted to create something opposite of needing to say "Hey Google, describe what is in front of me" or similar. Also a point was to see how cheap/simple you can go and still get valuable information.
