Smart Blind Stick
Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject SummaryIn this Smart stick there is a sensor which senses the obstacles or walls from 1 or half meter range then this stick vibrates & makes buzz sound. This Smart Stick warns the blind person that there is an obstacle or wall in-front of him/her. Then that person will be warned from obstacle or wall.
Smart Blind Stick is a device designed to help guide the visually impaired by detecting objects and portray the information to them in the form of sound beeping or vibration signal. This reduces the human effort and gives better understanding of the surrounding.
Project ObjectivesThe main objective of this is to provide an application for blind people to detect the obstacles in various directions, an innovative stick is designed for the visually disabled people for their easy navigation.
Project Implementation MethodExisting systems which provides guidance to blind. Smart vision use ultrasonic sensors or laser sensors to detect obstacles in front of the blind by transmitting the wave and reception of reflected waves. It produces either an audio or vibration in response to detected obstacles to warn blind. Some systems like UltraCane help blind people by collecting information through sensors and then transmitting recommendations through vibration or sound message to the user.
Benefits of the Project- it can detect any obstacle with the help of ultrasonic sensors and it can provide correct location of obstacle by using the GPS system. It will help blind people when they are walking outside from their home.
- A person can walk more confidently.
- This stick detects the object in front of the person and give response to the user either by vibrating or through command.
The stick consists of sensors, microcontroller, rf transmitter and receiver. The ultrasonic sensor detects the obstacle whether the object is close to them. If it is close to them, the buzzer will turns on, this indicates them that there are standing in front of them.
It uses two ultrasonic sensors HC SR 04 to detect the depth below or the obstacles in between.
