Abstract: Implementation of a device is presented that can be used to assist the visually impaired people. It can help the blind person to pass through the way by avoiding hurdles using haptic and voice feedback by integrating the device with mobile phone. It informs about his/her location to others(caretaker) through a message on the mobile device. It can help his/her caretaker (in case he is not near to the blind person) to locate him using the received coordinates from the communication module of device having Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) technology on the mobile. This device is physically realized by interfacing infrared sensors and communication module such as Bluetooth (HC-05). Scenery detection is to be done using image processing algorithms.
