A White Cane for Visually Impaired Peoples

Abstract

This paper presents the design and development of smart stick for blind person. One of the most significant challenges encountered by visually impaired individuals is ensuring safe navigation from one location to another. Further, todays conditions of the roads make it even more difficult for them to walk outdoors without anyone assistance.  The proposed prototype utilizes the internet of things (IOT), paradigm to establish a connection between the visually impaired and their environmental. Multiple sensors can be used to detect obstacles. The prototype designed discussed here is a simple and affordable smart stick for blind person equipped with various IOT sensors and modules also this prototype provides away to send a message about the user location to the concerned people.
