Abstract


Living in 21st century we boast about our independence and moving towards living a technical life. Our whole living standard is today looked upon by the pricey gadgets we use and how tech-friendly we are. But living this life we are somewhere forgetting the blind people. It is very important to think about these special people also. Currently, the most widespread and used means by the visually impaired people are the white stick and the guide dog; however both presents some limitations. With the recent advances in inclusive technology it is possible to extend the support given to people with visual impairment during their mobility. In this context we propose a system, named Blinds E-World, whose global objective is to give blind users the ability to move around in unfamiliar environments, whether indoor or outdoor. In this paper we propose the development of different electronic module that helps moving around, in both indoor and outdoor environments. So we introduce this project to help the blinds to live an independent life. We provide them with facility to communicate, travel in their home, detect obstacles and use GSM technology also. Hence, this project provides them with technologies to live an independent life.
