An Embedded System Design For Guiding Visually Impaired Personnel

Abstract

One of the most important senses in human life is vision. But there are few people who lack this ability of sensing things via vision and are considered as visually impaired people. These people face many challenges and hurdles when they are moving in unknown public places and are usually accompanied by a sighted person. In this paper, a simple and novel approach has been proposed and developed an automated guiding system for the visually impaired personnel. The whole idea of our project is to ensure that the visually impaired people travel independently with the help of a guiding system. The current paper focuses on developing an embedded system for guiding visually impaired which helps them travel without the support of others and is also comfortable to use. This proposed idea has been undertaken with the sense of responsibility towards the society and the sole aim remains to enhance the life of the underprivileged by making the wonders of technology accessible to them in their everyday life in order to promote a better living.
