An Audio Guidance System for Visually Impaired Person

Abstract

Mobility of visually impaired people is restricted by their incapability to recognize their surroundings. The aim of this paper is to provide a better understanding to the study of the development of navigation aid inside the building for visually impaired people using audio guidance system. This represents a significant step forward in the application of technologies to increase independence and self-reliance for the people with disabilities. It describes the technical and functional architecture of the system for orientation and guidance of a visually impaired person using available modern technology. The Audio guidance is systems that will help visually impaired people to navigate through buildings. This system would detect an object or obstacle and guide the visually impaired person in the desired path through specialized audio rendering. The proposed system in user friendly, innovative and an affordable solution to the guidance for a person with visual disabilities.
