IoT Enabled Assistive Device for Differently Abled Students in Higher Education

Abstract

The Science and Technology has made human life addictive to comfort, but still there exists an underprivileged group of people, who are fighting for an innovative way make the process of communication easier for them. According to World Health Organization (WHO) Report 2011, the differently-abled population in India is 26.8 million. In this project, I am going to propose a new system prototype called the Novel communication using Bluetooth and flex sensor. This in an effort to bridge the gap in the process of communication among the Blind, Deaf and Dumb people. Proposed system consists of flex sensors mounted on glove for dumb people to communicate in sign language and the corresponding sign language will be converted to text language which will be displayed in classroom using LCD. Bluetooth sensor can be used by the blind and deaf to communicate audio to text message form for displaying. Thus this approach can tackle any type of difficulty that comes across in the process of communication between the differently abled people and the change world.
