IoT Based Wearable Device to Facilitate Crowd Navigation for the Visually Impaired
Abstract
The proposed system aims to solve one of the problems faced by the visually impaired (VI) population. While walking in a crowded area, conventional technology dictates that he use a cane to detect obstacles around him/her which is inconvenient for the user and the people around. This device enables him (VI) to navigate without using a cane (smart/normal) which is a wearable smart belt that uses obstacle detectors and communicates with an Android application to give auditory instructions
