E-Walk

The smart walking stick helps blind people to perform navigation and to do their work easily and comfortably. In normal stick, the detection of the obstacle is not done and normal stick is not efficient for visually impaired persons. Because the blind person does not know what type of things or what

Project Summary

The smart walking stick helps blind people to perform navigation and to do their work easily and comfortably. In normal stick, the detection of the obstacle is not done and normal stick is not efficient for visually impaired persons. Because the blind person does not know what type of things or what type of the objects come in front of him or her. The person cannot recognize what is the size of that object and how far is he/she from the object. It is difficult for blind person to move here and there. In smart walking stick, the object is detected with the help of a camera and also it measures the distance between objects by using ultrasonic sensor. If any obstacle comes in front of blind person, he/she can know about the obstacle by hearing the sound generated by the head phone. The system is very useful for people who are visually impaired and are often need help from others

Benefits of the Project

Visually impaired persons have difficulty to interact and feel their environment. They have little contact with surroundings. Physical movement is a challenge for visually impaired persons, because it can become tricky to distinguish obstacles appearing in front of them, and they are not able to move from one place to another. The smart walking stick, constructed with at most accuracy, will help the blind people to move from one place to another without others help. This stick reduces the dependency of visually impaired people on other family members, friends while walking around. The smart stick detects specific objects or obstacles (like stairs, ditches) in front of users and feeds warning back, in the form of voice messages rather than vibration. The advantage of the system lies in the fact that it can prove to be a low-cost solution to millions of blind persons worldwide.
