Abstract
In this paper, we present a design of a wearable equipment that helps with the perception of the environment for blind and visually impaired people in indoor and outdoor mobility and navigation. Our prototype can detect and identify traffic situations such as street crossings, traffic lamps, cars, cyclists, other people and low and high obstacles. The detection takes place in real time based on input data of sensors and optical cameras, the mobility of the user is aided with audio signals.
