Third Eye - A Voice Assistant-Based Mobile Application for Blind and Colorblind People

The eye is one of the five major sensory organs of a living being. Because some situations and incidents can be cured and treated but others cannot, losing sight causes a person to become partially deactivated in his or her daily activities. The two most common conditions that cannot be easily cured in a variety of situations are total blindness and color blindness. Even though there are many traditional and modern assistive devices, most of them are unable to meet the requirements of visually impaired people because of usability, data accuracy, and cost issues. The ideology behind this research was to develop a mobile application that helps visually challenged people do their daily tasks without any external assistance. Instead of using an external device, this system recommends hanging up the phone using a code or keeping the phone in the upper pocket of the shirt so that the phone's camera can easily capture the data. This developed mobile application’s aim is to help visually challenged people do their daily tasks without external assistance. It activates an intelligent voice assistant to guide the user using voice commands in navigation, object identification, text, and currency reading, and also weather forecasting. The application also helps colorblind people identify which color blindness category they belong to by using Ishihara test plates. The goal is to reduce the latency of data processing and increase the accuracy and effectiveness of this application.
