Ultrasonic Glass for Blind and Smart Stick using IOT
Authors/Creators
Description
Abstract— Smart blind stick using Arduino, aimed at improving the mobility and safety of individuals with visual impairments. The smart blind stick incorporates ultrasonic sensors to detect obstacles and provides haptic feedback through a vibrating motor. This offers an affordable and accessible solution to assist visually impaired individuals in navigating their surroundings with increased confidence and independence. Visual impairments significantly impact an individual's ability to navigate their surroundings, resulting in challenges and limitations in their daily lives. Assistive technologies play a crucial role in empowering individuals with visual impairments by providing them with tools to enhance their mobility and independence. One such technology is the development of ultrasonic glasses designed specifically for the blind. Visual impairments encompass a wide range of conditions, from partial sight to complete blindness. These conditions affect millions of individuals worldwide and pose significant challenges in terms of mobility, object detection, and spatial awareness. Traditional mobility aids, such as white canes and guide dogs, offer assistance but have limitations in providing real-time information about obstacles and environmental surroundings.
