So what does it all come down to? You designing a set of hand signals to
give him directions.
And at any point along the way if you can't remember where to go past
there he can show you some images to refresh your memory.
Or you can ask him to do a search of mars for that room.
Whats the room topic?
How many rooms could you possibly have on Mars to store your useful
data? And if you have a text description he will find that room find the
bitmap image and then you can direct him there or just point at the
correct room or object by itself.

You see you will find different and better ways to do it but using the
concept, "a place for everything and everything in its place", you will
know where things are supposed to be kept and will find them based on
normal common sense rules. Where do you keep your music, in a music
room, how about a recipe? In the kitchen yes but i want a french recipe,
well then its probably in some french item in the kitchen.

Well does he need to show you all the french recipes? He might.
Or you can go further into an object as long as you can remember or have
a cabinet that is alphabetized and tell him open drawer V for vichyssoise.

Or go to the main cabinet in the kitchen open P and show me the recipes
for pies.

So you can reduce it all further if you are a fanatic to directional
arrows. As long as you get him to the macro.
