Helping with an Embedded System for People with Visual Impairments

Shailesh Kumar

Abstract


God endowed humans with sense, which is a vital component of life—vision. However, not many people lack this ability. People with visual impairments have numerous difficulties when navigating new public spaces. Dynamic interactions are only available in a small number of visually impaired people's navigation systems. The suggested system is intended to assist those who are blind or partially sighted. The GPS-equipped technology that determines the blind person's location. The system's goal is to enable visually impaired people to help themselves. When a blind individual falls into a risky situation, the microcontroller-connected sensor network will detect the situation and notify the caregivers. The audio alert to avoid obstacles is provided by the GPS and GSM based navigation system using ultrasonic sensors.
