Description

Blindness or say eye disability is the most worrying problem among the people. Visually disabled people find difficulties to travel or say navigate. The Visually Impaired System (VIS) supports this process by providing key facilities a short-range system for detecting obstacles, a short-range system for identifying obstacles, a signboard recognition system, and a shortest path guidance system for source to destination. Obstacle Detection, Distress Calling, Global Location Tracking, Voice Command Functionality & Shortest Route Guidance are all real-time features of this system. The aim is to build a program that will direct visually impaired people to reach the desired destination and help them understand the natural world around them. The blind or visually impaired mainly rely on their other senses such as sound, touch and smell to understand their environment. They find it pretty hard to go out alone, not to mention toilets, subway stations, restaurants etc. The visually impaired program aims at giving blind people great exposure to their environment.
