Smart Shoes with an Ultrasonic Sensor for the Blind

Suresh Kumar Gautam

Abstract


Savvy shoes are inventive shoes intended for outwardly incapacitated individuals for further developed route. We here propose progressed shrewd shoes that permit outwardly moved individuals to explore effortlessly utilizing cutting edge innovation. The visually impaired shoe is coordinated with ultrasonic sensor alongside camera and speaker. First, the proposed paper makes use of ultrasonic sensors to use ultrasonic waves to identify obstacles ahead. The microcontroller receives this data whenever the sensor detects obstacles. After that, the data are processed by the microcontroller, which determines whether the obstacle is close enough. In the event that the snag isn't that nearby the circuit sits idle. In the event that the snag is close, microcontroller conveys a message to sound a signal or vibrate the shoe. On the other hand, for navigation, a blind person will enter an address into their mobile phone, and Google Map will open, providing a voice-based navigational output for the blind person.
