This paper explores an innovative real-time object detection system designed to empower visually impaired individuals with enhanced spatial awareness. Due to their inability to see their surroundings, people with visual impairments constantly struggle to navigate daily life. The real-time object detection system presented in this research provides an easy-to-use method of identifying items in the surroundings by converting visual information into meaningful audio cues. Using AI-powered image processing for precise recognition, the system’s straightforward activation mechanism, camera, speaker, and Raspberry Pi provide user-friendliness. The goal of this innovation is to improve the independence, safety, and confidence of visually impaired people by fusing assistive technology with practical applications. Our method combines little hardware with a sophisticated processing unit to deliver real-time audio input on things in the environment, utilising the potential of embedded systems and artificial intelligence.
