Helping stick for blind people

Abstract

In India, as it is true for all developing countries, a considerable number of people, especially from the lower state of society, suffer from visual disabilities. Visual impairment or vision less may cause people difficulties with daily activities such as walking, driving, or socializing, to lead a life very dependent on others. Hence, there are millions of visually impaired or blind people in this world who are always in need of helping hands. For many years, these have become a well-known attribute to blind person’s navigation and later efforts have been made to improve the cane by adding remote sensor. Blind people have problem when they walk on the street or stairs using white cane, but they have sharp haptic sensitivity. The electronic walking stick will help the blind person by providing a much more convenient means of life. The main aim of this project is to contribute our knowledge and services to the people who are visually challenged. In addition, it will help in automated driving. If this feature is installed in vehicles, then it will help to prevent accidental collisions.
