Wearable Navigation System for Visually Impaired People

Abstract

The idea behind the paper is to create a wearable device for visually impaired people to guide them to the respective destination. We plan to use raspberry pi, along with mounted camera(s), ultrasonic sensors for distance measurement, and earphones for instructing the host, verbally. The device will be responsible for tracking the location of the obstruction relative to the host and instruct the latter to navigate away from the obstruction
