Abstract

Person with visual impairment suffers from various problems and is unable to lead a normal regular life because of their blindness. In this paper, the proposal of a wearable device for visually impaired persons is presented that can detect color and speak out the name of the color in two different languages: Bengali and English, through connected headphone. Bluetooth headphone or wire headphone, even speaker can be interfaced with the proposed system. The proposed device will be able to detect color and turn the color name into sound so that visually impaired persons can recognize it. It will be implemented and developed using a microcontroller, color sensor along with an amplifier and wired or Bluetooth connected headphone. The device will employ a reliable microcontroller platform known as Arduino Nano along with Bluetooth module HC-05, color sensor TCS 3200, LM 386 power amplifier with SD card module. The device will be able to decode color information from everyday resources and convert into sound so that blind persons can easily identify any color.

为视障人士提供双语可穿戴辅助技术

视力受损的人患有各种各样的问题，因为他们的失明而无法过正常的生活。本文提出了一种视障人士可穿戴设备的方案，该设备可以通过连接的耳机，检测颜色，并以孟加拉语和英语两种不同的语言说出颜色的名称。蓝牙耳机或有线耳机，甚至扬声器都可以与所提出的系统接口。该设备将能够检测颜色并将颜色名称转换为声音，以便视障人士能够识别它。它将使用微控制器、颜色传感器、放大器和有线或蓝牙连接的耳机来实现和开发。该器件将采用可靠的微控制器平台Arduino Nano以及蓝牙模块HC-05，颜色传感器TCS 3200, LM 386功率放大器和SD卡模块。该设备将能够解码来自日常资源的颜色信息，并将其转换为声音，以便盲人可以轻松识别任何颜色。
