Abstract |
|
India currently has around 12 million blind people against 39 million globally -- which makes India home to one-third of the world's blind population. Moving through an unknown environment becomes a real challenge when we can't rely on our eyes. The system we proposed detects the nearest obstacle via a stereoscopic ultrasonic system and sends back vibro-tactile feedback to inform the user about its localization. User can be alerted of closed obstacles in range while traveling in their environment. The system aims at increasing the mobility of visually impaired people by offering new sensing abilities. |
