A method, a system, and a computer program product for providing a virtual probe, associated with an avatar, which enables blind or sightless navigation of an avatar through a virtual world. The system outputs tactile information and/or audible information that depict the presence of an object in the virtual world, in association with the avatar. When the virtual probe encounters an object in the virtual world the distance between the object and the avatar, a velocity of the object, and the dimensions of the object are determined. The tactile information, such as one or more vibrations, is output proportional to the distance between the object and the avatar and/or the dimension of the object. Audible information is also output in response to the detection of the object. Audible information, such as an audible voice, outputs one or more of the distance between the object and the avatar, the velocity of the object, and the dimensions of the object.
