Advanced electronics based smart mobility aid for the visually impaired society

The realm of electronics has been growing rapidly in the past few decades. Nowadays, advanced electronics are employable in assisting the visually impaired society in various ways. According to the World Health Organization, approximately 285 million people of all ages are blind, which is a significantly enormous number [1]. Major researches have been under consideration on developing a smart stick with various sensors attached to it to be used as a mobility aid by the blind as a part on an ongoing study. For seeking a smoother routine life and welfare towards the blind society, this paper proposes and analyses a new thought in eliminating the stick and mount these sensors on the blind person body itself. The mechanism of this system, the electronic flow of detection signal and feedback are illustrated.
