Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT) is the inter-connection of things through Internet along with the wireless technologies such as Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID). The independent mobility for Visually Impaired (VI) people is very difficult in this growing world and they depend upon different travelling guide which are cumbersome. The aim of this paper is to provide a better understanding of surroundings and motivate VI person to live more independently in their routine-life by using Internet of things. This paper considered different locations. These locations are attached with the RFID tag at the entrance. VI person is provided smart phone and RFID reader which is interfaced with ARM7 (Advanced RISC Machines) microcontroller. If VI person wants reach any of the location, then he/she speaks (audio signal) to the smart phone about the location they want to reach. The navigational information (audio) is extracted from the server of the Internet and information regarding obstacle on the path is also informed to aid VI to reach the destination. The Server of the Internet has the navigational data base to reach the location. The navigational data is provided only to an authenticated person. The RFID reader which is available with VI, identifies the tag attached to the location and announces the destination location name.
