Smart Shoe for Visually Impaired

Abstract

Abstract: Our eyes are undoubtedly the most precious gift we have and play a significant part in our daily life. We are fortunate to have sight, so we can see this world. However, some individuals struggle to visualize these things. Because of this, moving around in strange public settings presents several difficulties for those with vision impairment. 39 million individuals are blind and 246 have limited vision, making up the estimated 285 million visually impaired persons globally. Wearable technology should be created with these people's visual impairments in mind. Smart shoes are a wearable technology created to give persons with vision impairments navigational information. In this study, a sophisticated electronic assistive device for the blind prototype model and system design are given. This system's components—a microprocessor, an ultrasonic sensor, and a Bluetooth headphone—are made to provide general measures for object detection, human detection, and real-time help. A pair of smart shoes equipped with water and ultrasonic sensors. A Bluetooth connection between the shoe and an Android application will enable voice control support for the user. The user will be assisted in moving about autonomously by the Smart Shoes and the Android application.
