Design and Development of Wearable Eye for the Visually Impaired

Abstract

The wearable eye for the blind or visually impaired persons is a technological advancement, which is aided by multidisciplinary courses like software engineering and hardware design. It aids the visually impaired to explore their surroundings as quickly as possible and assuresthem safety by sensing nearby deterrents with the use of ultrasonic waves and alerting them with a beeping sound and audio support. It also incorporates face recognition for identifying known people through a voice message when they appear before the visually impaired person. For a long time, the white stick, despite its power, still possesses a significantamount of weakness. This limitation is overcome by the design and development ofthis wearable innovation. The wearable eye deviceuses a little computer, the Raspberry Pi 4 module, ultrasonic sensors and a Raspberry Pi camera.
