IOT BASED LIFE SUPPORT GADGETS FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED PEOPLE

IoT based smart shoe and stick system for visually impaired.It is a system made with the help of ultrasonic sensors, GPS and GSM module paired with an Arduino UNO board.The proposed smart stick is planned with an impediment identification module for the pit and flight of stairs detection, water detection and to perform the daily activities quickly.Internet of things is all about making physical objects communicate with other objects or even with humans.Sightless people face great difficulty to travel independently.The smart shoe will help the blind person to reach his destination independently.It is build using IoT technology in which the shoe will be embedded with various sensors, microcontroller and buzzers.The shoe warns the user by making noise with buzzer when he/she walks in front of obstacles.The smart stick tracks the current location of the blind person is located using GPS and GSM module.Such a stick will be a blessing for blind people having a positive impact on science and technology.Visually impaired people face issues while travelling outdoors, it presents a literary review of overcoming such issue by making wearable sensors by planting them on shoes and stick using Internet of Things.
