Secure and Safety Mobile Network System for Visually Impaired People
This addresses mobility challenges for visually impaired individuals, but appears incremental as it builds on existing assistive technologies.
The paper tackles the problem of assisting visually impaired people with orientation and mobility in unknown environments, proposing a secure and safety mobile network system as a technological alternative to traditional white canes.
The proposed system aims to be a techno-friend of visually impaired people to assist them in orientation and mobility both indoor and outdoor. Moving through an unknown environment becomes a real challenge for most of them, although they rely on their other senses. An age old mechanism used for assistance for the blind people is a white cane commonly known as walking cane a simple and purely mechanical device to detect the ground, uneven surfaces, holes and steps using simple Tactile-force feedback.
