Abstract
Even without Sight, there is still Vision. In the world, there are about 4.3 crore people with blindness and 29.5 crore people with partial blindness. This latest eye health report is provided by the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness's Vision Atlas. . People with visual disabilities are mostly dependent on external assistance or on designated systems for making every small decision. To overcome this limitation, the proposed system of a Smart Walking Stick is designed in a way to act like an artificial unit and an alarm unit. Using multiple sensors like ultrasonic sensors, LDR (Light Dependent Resistor), water sensor to detect every possible obstacle that can be overcome along with buzzer and vibration motor. The Stick is facilitated with a SOS (Save Our Souls) button for providing real time information of the person for quick response action by the user’s guardian in case of an urgent situation.
