How Our Project Helps Blind People

• Our project obstacle detection for blind people is developed on ultra sonic technology.
• ARDUINO UNO is used which is the latest technology. The main objective of this project is to provide safety for blind people from obstacles.
• Obstacle detection is one of the major concerns for a fully or a partially blind person.
• The device is to be carried by blind people and when the device senses any obstacle it gives the warning signal through the Buzzer and accordingly he can move.
• The entire design is built with the help of ARDUINO UNO which monitors the components as it is the brain of the whole Circuit

Solution - Process

• These GLASSES are designed for blind people. The concept of obstacle detection by ultrasonic sensor has been used here. As soon as the obstacle is detected by the sensor, its distance is sent to the Arduino.
• We convert the distance into centimeters from milliseconds and check whether the distance of obstacle is less than 30 cm, if yes then we send the output through a buzzer. The tone of the buzzer is set to 440 Hz.
• Identically, wearing GLASSES helps the user to avoid the surrounding diversified obstacles and thus the mobility increases.

• If such a product is released, the independency of the users can be augmented, which will get them involved more in the society

Prototype

Smart Glasses for Blind

USP

• A Unique solution to people with vision impairment
• It provides safety and security to blind people from obstacles
• A affordable and cost effective product
• A one time investment with minimum cost on consumables
• A great utility to Blind People
• Compact and easy to use for the blind person
• This product prevent accidents and help then to navigate through the busy roads and to save there lives
• The obs identification/detection system reads out the kind of the object in front of the blind person thus alerting him

Existing Solutions

• Many similar products are available in the market but lack precision
• These type of projects or products are not easily available to an visually inpaired person
• These products are costly and not affordable

Methodology

Usually the visually impaired persons depend on someone to help them in their daily lives. The method that will be used for this problem is to adapt an ultrasonic sensor to the glasses, since most of the visually impaired persons wear glasses, there would not be any problem. The ultrasonic sensor will have its respective circuit, which will issue a repetitive vibration to indicate the proximity of an obstacle

Conclusion

The developed system is an embedded system that is part of obstacle detection for blind people. The main objective of this project is to provide safety for blind people which has been full filled with the use of development board ARDUINO . this device ensures safety for the blind people while walking. The device is to be carried by blind and when the device senses any obstacle it gives the message through Buzzer and accordingly he can move. The entire design is build on the concept of embedded system and ARDUINO microcontroller is used which monitors the components. In future we can use this system along with the navigation system so that the blind person can drive the car. The system can be used with low power consumption and automated operation
