Abstract:

Moving from one location to another, whether indoors or outside, is one of the most significant issues that the blind and visually impaired encounter. Moreover, they have an even harder time steering outside due to the unfavourable road conditions. They must remain vigilant at all times to prevent mishaps such as stumbling down damp ground, climbing or descending stairs, and colliding with stationary or moving objects. Additionally, they occasionally experience distress and may wish to notify friends or family about their whereabouts. Technology is frequently used as a solution to these issues facing the blind. The Internet of Things (IoT) concept is used in the suggested solution to act as a conduit between the blind and their surroundings. A number of sensors can be employed to identify anomalies such as moist terrains, barriers, and staircases. This concept might be a straightforward, clever, and reasonably priced smart blind stick with a variety of IoT modules and sensors.
