Sense Cap Using Internet of Things

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the most prominent technologies, which primarily deals with inter-connecting, controlling and managing digital and electronic devices that are connected to the internet through an IP address. The evolution of high speed network technologies like Long Term Evolution (LTE) and upcoming 5G network technology had already led the path to simulate the whole electronic and digital services and applications at the finger tips. However, the physically challenged people especially the visually challenged people could not utilize the whole of technologies and yet this makes them feel more distressed about themselves. Braille is vital for communication and education purposes for the visually challenged persons. The solution for this problem is to handle the distance between the obstacle and the person. The aim of this project is to develop a smart cap, which has the distance measurement system. Device that will be useful who are visually impaired. This device primarily allows its user to scan their surroundings for obstacles. The device which has sensors (Lidar) for detecting the obstacles. It is connected to the smart phone via Bluetooth or any other means. It will notify and guide the user if there is any obstacles stairs or potholes around. It is based on ToF (Time of Flight) principle and integrated with unique optical and electrical designs, so as to achieve stable, precise, high sensitivity and high-speed distance detection. Features: Operating Range: 0.3-12m maximum operating range at 10% reflectivity. "Share live location" feature allows the user's can share their live location to their personal contacts.
