A Novel Model-Driven Approach for Visual Impaired People Assistance OPTIC ALLY

People having visual impairment can't perform routine tasks on their own such that they are obliged to perform even the simplest task with assistance. Since their issue can't be resolved with visual glasses or lenses, the various mode of advancing technologies is playing an immense role in aiding them. Plenty of research work and development of gadgets have been proposed regarding the assistance of visually impaired people. From deep learning along with sensor-based initiative systems to various ranges of software have been developed but until now every system or software heeds on a particular feature. This article is based on purposing the idea of developing a cross-platform application named Optic Ally, intelligent assistance for visually impaired people that will provide all salient features in it regarding their assistance. For this idea of Optic Ally application, a novel model-driven framework is introduced that comprises a meta-model, tree editor, and graphical modeling tool that is Sirius based with drag and drop palette. The modeling and visualization of the features of this app are done using the Sirius-based graphical modeling tool. Moreover, a case study has been demonstrated for the validity of the proposed framework. The outcome of the case study proves that the proposed framework is competent in modeling and visualizing features effectively. The initial developed stage of the application is also shown in this article. Optic Ally application features include object detection, object finder, location, voice assistance, guardian help, link account and profile setup for the visually impaired user whereas for the guardian user the features include location, profile setup and guardian help
