Smart Glass for Visually Impaired

Smart Glass is a device which is a wearable spectacle that adds more information to what the wearer sees. These glasses are computerized with heads up display which collects information from internal as well as external sources. Smart glasses have all the features of Smart Phones like they support Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS – which has an inbuilt function of an activity tracker which tracks the distance walked or run, calories burned and heartbeat count. Blind and Visually impaired people find difficulties in walking the street, which makes it dangerous. In this paper, the proposed system is based on a Raspberry Pi Module 3B, which acts as processor, to capture images through Raspberry Pi Camera to detect faces. The system detects and sends a warning message via an earphone. The experimental result achieved using the LBPH classifier is 85% accurate in face detection. The smart glass is economically friendly and user-friendly.
