THIRD EYE FOR BLIND

Abstract

Third eye for the blind is an innovation with the help of the multidiscipline subjects like computer science, electronics engineering and health science which helps the blind people to navigate with speed and confidence by detecting the nearby obstacles using the help of ultrasonic waves and notify them with a buzzer sound or vibration. According to WHO 39 million people are estimated as blinds worldwide. They are suffering a lot of hardships in their daily life. The affected ones have been using the tradition white cane for many years which although being effective, still has a lot of disadvantages. This will be a wearable technology for the blinds. One of the main peculiarities of this device is that it will be affordable. The Arduino Pro Mini 328- 15/16 MHz board is worn like a device. This will be equipped with ultrasonic sensors, consisting of module. Using the sensor, visually impaired can detect the objects around them and can travel easily. When the sensor detects any object, it will notify the user by beep or vibration. Thus, this is an automated device. Thus, this device will be of a great use for the blinds and help them travel different places.
