摘要

In today’s world, technology plays an important role in shaping the environment, but visually challenged people still faces problems in their daily life. They still rely on some of the traditional methods, which are not a perfect solution for solving their methods. Tools like guide dogs and white canes offer limited facilities in understanding their surroundings but fails in precise object classification, and distance measurements. This research focuses on removing this significant gap and hence providing a tech-proof solution for this problem by designing an advanced Internet of Things (IoT) device by integrating a Raspberry Pi, ultrasonic sensors, and a camera module. The ultrasonic sensor helps in detecting the obstacles and gives instant vibration through feedback that users can use to avoid collision. This also contain camera that helps in identifying the object and describe them aloud using advanced image techniques. With the help of data handling and real-time analysis, this can solve the problem of visually impaired people. By combining all this research, it shows how new technology can improve traditional aids, providing a more reliable and independent way for visually impaired individuals to navigate, ultimately making their lives better.
