Abstract

People with blindness find life to be very challenging, but some daily duties can be helped by the use of technology (i.e., IoT). In the current study, the authors developed a working prototype of an electronic gadget that represent an efficient wearable device that may assist blind people in performing many of their daily activities: detect and define the objects, faces recognition, determining the current time, reading text and translating text. The use of sensors to scan the area in front of the blind guy and a set of learning algorithms are two novel aspects of the work. In addition, as a control button for usability, we created a control band with prominent characters manufactured in Braille. Experimental findings with blind individuals demonstrate the excellent effectiveness of the recommended gadget. When compared to other devices in use today, the proposed gadget is also superior in terms of cost and feature count.
