Abstract

The study is focused on finding an easy way to detect a hindrance and a path by the help of ultrasonic sensors that can detect drench or steps with a maximum diameter of 2 meters. 30 million people are permanently visually impaired and 285 billion people have vision impairment, says WHO. As we see visually impaired people are likely to have trouble in making their living habits because they do not see even one thing. Using the blind stick, visually impaired people can walk confidently. This ultrasonic-aided smart stick has a few features that can help these visually impaired people to navigate on their trails and observe the obstacle. It also incorporates a GSM and GPS module to provide the GPS location of visually challenged people when they were lost in a remote place.
