IOT BASED SMART SHOES FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED PERSON

Abstract

The main objective of this project is to provide an acoustic assistance to the blind people and also to deal with the problems faced by them to walk like the normal human beings. The project is therefore aimed at creating a computer that would act as a guiding aid for them. The paper focuses on creating a device for visually impaired (or blind) individuals that will help them navigate more comfortably and independently as well. One of the greatest challenges faced by visually disabled people is while travelling because, unlike regular beings, they are not well aware of knowledge about their position and orientation when they walk indoors and outside in terms of traffic and obstacles on their way. For visual impaired persons, the technology suggested in the paper serves as a remedy. The project consists of the smart shoes and the smart cane (stick) that alerts people with visual impairments to obstacles that come in their ways and can help them walk with less collision. The main purpose of this paper is to address a secure solution that involves a cane and a shoe that could communicate with users through voice warning and pre-recorded messages.
