Smart Shoes for Blind People

Abstract

Abstract: Smart Shoes for blind people are a technological solution that aims to improve the mobility and independence of visually impaired individuals. The smart shoes are equipped with a variety of sensors and technologies that work together to provide real-time feedback about the user's surroundings, obstacles, and navigation directions. The main components of the smart shoes include an inertial measurement unit (IMU), GPS receiver, microcontroller, Bluetooth module, and a haptic feedback mechanism. The IMU consists of sensors such as accelerometers and gyroscopes that measure the movement and orientation of the shoe. The GPS receiver provides location data that is used to calculate the user's position and orientation. The microcontroller processes the sensor data and runs a navigation algorithm that calculates the safest and most efficient route for the user to take. The algorithm takes into account factors such as the user's destination, the terrain, obstacles, and other environmental factors. The Bluetooth module enables the user to connect to a smartphone or other device to receive audio or visual instructions and feedback. The haptic feedback mechanism, such as vibrating motors, provides tactile feedback to the user about the direction and proximity of obstacles. Smart shoes for blind people offer a unique and innovative solution to improve the mobility and independence of visually impaired individuals. They provide real-time feedback and navigation directions to help users navigate their environment safely and efficiently
