Eyes in Every Step: Navigating the Future with IoT and AI-ML in Smart Wearables for the Visually Impaired

Abstract

The IoT-based Smart Shoe System revolutionizes independent navigation for the visually impaired through embedded ultrasonic sensors, an Arduino Nano board, and buzzer modules, enabling autonomous road traversal by detecting and alerting users to obstacles. In parallel, Smart Glasses explore the fusion of object detection and face recognition technologies to aid the visually impaired. Its object detection application assists in identifying obstacles, ensuring safer navigation, while the face recognition system, complemented by auditory output, facilitates the recognition of objects and individuals
