Navigation gadget for visually impaired based on IoT

摘要

Portability of visually impaired people is confined by within their surroundings. Moving safely and confidently in a metropolitan area without any human assistance is a tedious work for vision loss people. This paper proposes theoretical model and a system concept to provide an electronic aid for visually impaired people This work rely on developing a gadget that is, a walking stick and a Bluetooth headset (wearable), for blind people that helps them to find their way in this world. The Internet Of Things is a intercommunication between various systems where the communication is being carried by means of network or some of signals. The current position of the vision loss humans can be found by using Global Positioning System (GPS) which is embedded in the stick. The headset and the proposed stick are paired using Bluetooth Stick. Thus IOT help blind people to find their way back home by the communication between the walking stick and the headset, which are Bluetooth, paired and enable the communication between devices.
