Smart Glasses with Voice Assistance and GPS for Independent Mobility of the Blind People
The study establishes smart glasses embedded with AI voice assistance that covers obstacle detection and object detection, OCR (Optical Character Recognition), and GPS tracking for visually impaired individuals. The smart glasses improve mobility and independence by providing real- time obstacle and object detection. The audio-guided navigation in the glasses helps the users overcome different environments, whether indoor, public transport, or city streets. These glasses use the internal sensors to scan the surroundings for possible hazards and inform the user to take action when navigating. GPS tracking allows monitoring a location, enhancing safety. The AI voice assistance makes the interaction intuitive and easy, and OCR detects text in images, allowing the reader to read signs or documents through audio feedback. This innovative technology enables visually impaired persons to traverse new and difficult settings with minimal assistance, promoting confidence and autonomy. The great deal of new input methods integrated into wearable technology pushes the assistive technology field forward in terms of greatly enhancing the quality of life for users that are visually impaired. With the integration of AI voice assistance, GPS tracking, Optical Character Recognition, Object detection, and Obstacle detection, Smart Glasses provide real-time navigation to improve accessibility and promote independence for the users.
