Abstract |
|
Blindness is a state of lacking the visual perception due to neurological or physiological factors. This paper presents a concept to provide a simple, cheap, user friendly, smart electronic travel aid to improve the mobility for people who are both deaf and blind by preventing any possible accidents while travel alone in two different scenarios using optical communication. The system utilizes an embedded visual system consisting of Infrared sensor, buzzer and vibratory circuit. This aid is fixed to the walking stick or gloves of the blind people. The main component of this system is the infrared sensor which is used to scan a predetermined area around blind person. This system is simple, efficient and an innovative solution affordable by the visually impaired people to navigate safely and independently. |
