Moving Beyond Limits: ALMOURAFEK's Trailblazing Innovation for the Visually Impaired
Recent advancements in technology have prompted innovative solutions in the field of navigation assistance for visually impaired individuals. Despite these strides, challenges persist in implementing autonomous navigation technologies due to accuracy, cost, and dependency on internet connectivity. This paper introduces 'ALMOURAFEK,' an ingenious smart, wearable device meticulously crafted with a fully embedded AI solution for indoor scene analysis and interpretation. It transforms images of indoor environments into actionable insights, formulating them into verbal messages directly transmitted by BT to the user in their preferred language and dialect. The paper details 'ALMOURAFEK's' software, hardware, and design intricacies, exemplifying the device's exceptional embedded AI integration. A critical comparative analysis then scrutinizes ALMOURAFEK against existing solutions, highlighting its prowess in addressing limitations prevalent in the market.
