Smart AI Blind Stick

Abstract

A smart system concept has been devised to give blind people smart technological assistance. It is challenging for those who are blind or visually impaired to navigate their surroundings. Real-time assistance, object detection, and artificial vision are all features of the Raspberry Pi-based system. In this project, we'll utilize the Raspberry Pi to build a smart system with a speaker module, switch, and camera module for blind people. The voice output of the system is managed by TTS (text to speech), and it consists of a speaker module that gets audio feedback. The proposed system recognizes an object in the surrounding environment and provides auditory input, including warning messages delivered through headphones. The system's overall objective is to provide a low-cost, high-efficiency text-to-voice and navigation aid for the blind that gives them a sense of artificial vision by providing data on both static and moving things in their environment.
