This paper presents the navigation methodology employed by an intelligent assistant (agent) for people with disabilities partial independence. In particular, the intelligent assistant, called Tyflos, would help a visually impaired user to be partially independent and able to walk and work in a 3-D dynamic environment. The Tyflos system carries two vision cameras and captures images from the surrounding 3-D environment, either by the user's command or in a continued mode (video), then it converts these images into verbal descriptions for each image into a verbal communication with the user. With other words the system plays the role of human assistant, who describes to the user the 3-D visual environment.
