Description

Smart glass device includes a pair of glasses and an obstacle detection module fitted in it in the center, an output device and a power supply. The obstacle detection module and the output device is connected to the Raspberry pi. The obstacle detection module basically consists of an ultrasonic sensor that detects the obstacle present in front of the man. The information is processed and the output is given as an audio message. Currency detection is achieved using image recognition technique with the help of a night vision camera. This Smart Glass for blind people is a portable device that is easy to use, light weight, user friendly and cheap in price. These glasses could easily guide the blind people and help them avoid obstacles.
