SMART WEARABLE GADGET FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED WITH GPS TRACKER

Abstract

According to the research dispensed by the globe Health Organization (WHO), it absolutely was found that there a minimum of 285 million people across the world who are visually-impaired. This device offers an ETA (Electronic Travel Aids)-smart guiding device in the form of a VR box for providing this group with direction effectively and safely due to the difficulties of travelling. A multimodal fusion-based obstacle-avoiding algorithm is described that differs from prior systems in that it makes use of the Camera to identify people and detect barriers. Through GPS Module we are able to find the placement of user. Once an obstacle on the trail of the user is detected, it alerts the user through the audio messages. Thus, helping the user to navigate safely.
