Shoes for the Blind with an Ultrasonic Sensor

Suresh Gautam

Abstract


Savvy shoes are innovative shoes designed for people who appear to be disabled for a more developed route. We here propose advanced astute shoes that grant apparently moved people to investigate easily using state of the art development. The outwardly debilitated shoe is composed with ultrasonic sensor close by camera and speaker. To begin, the proposed paper makes use of ultrasonic sensors to identify obstacles ahead by utilizing ultrasonic waves. When the sensor detects obstacles, this data is sent to the microcontroller. The microcontroller then processes the data to determine whether the obstacle is sufficiently close. The circuit remains idle if the snag is not particularly close. If the tangle is close, microcontroller passes a message on to sound a sign or vibrate the shoe. Then again, for route, a visually impaired individual will enter a location into their cell phone, and Google Guide will open, giving a voice-based navigational result for the visually impaired individual.
