ABSTRACT:
This stick is used to enable the blind people to move freely and independently. We will make it easy to get and cheap. It employs the use of simple sound or sensation to alert people that something is blocking their path. This has a core component which is an Arduino that measures the distance between the sensors. A buzzer or small vibrating motor is switched on when the distance between them is within a specific range. You might also install a phone accessory that can send an emergency text in the case of necessity. The stick is lightweight, small, and rechargeable to be able to carry it around. The concept demonstrates that small electronics can provide helpful assistance. The design will empower the blind people to be less dependent on other people, more confident moving about, and live more. In brief, this stick is cheap and helpful, and applies clever thoughts.
