Abstract
A smart stick concept is devised to provide a smart electronic aid for blind people . Blind and
visually impaired find difficulties in detecting obstacles during walking in the street.The system
is intended to provide artificial vision and object detection, real time assistance via making use
of Arduino UNO.
The main objective of our project is to provide a sound based assistance to blind people.
The existing devices for the visually impaired only focus on travelling from one location to
another.
The device is aimed to help visually impaired with the same maneuver as that of sighted people.
A brief study had been carried out to understand various issues related to the project which
involves providing a smart electronic aid for blind people to provide artificial vision and object
detection, real assistance via GPS module by using Arduino Uno. Our project mainly focuses on
the visually impaired people who cannot walk independently environment.
The system consists of ultrasonic sensors, and the feedback is receive through audio. The aim of
the overall system is to provide a low cost and efficient navigation and obstacle detection aid for
blind which gives which gives a sense of artificial by providing information about the
environmental scenario of static and dynamic object round them, so that they can walk
independently.

INTRODUCTION
Smart Blind Stick Using Arduino
Eye sight plays a major role in collecting most of the information from the real world
and that information will be processed by brain, visually impaired people suffer inconveniences
in their daily life and social life. Blindness or visual impairment is condition that affects many
people around the world. This condition leads to the loss of the valuable senses of
vision.Worldwide there are millions of people who are visually impaired , where many of them
are blind. The need for assistive devices was and will be continuous. There is a wide range of
navigation systems and tools existing for visually impaired individuals.The blind
person truly requires an identifying objects.
