INTRODUCTION :
Eye sight plays a major role in collecting most of the information from
the real world and that information will be processed by brain, visually
impaired people suffer inconveniences in their daily life and social life.
Blindness or visual impairment is condition that affects many people
around the world. This condition leads to the loss of the valuable senses of
vision. Worldwide there are millions of people who are visually impaired ,
where many of them are blind. The need for assistive devices was and will
be continuous. There is a wide range of navigation systems and tools
existing for visually impaired individuals .The blind person truly requires an
identifying objects.
Objectives :
The main objective of our project is to provide a sound based assistance
to blind people. Here we are trying to develop a system that helps blind
person to travel independently and works efficiently. Current navigation
device for the visually impair focus on travelling from one location to
another. Our project focuses on designing a device for blind people that
help them to travel independently and also it must be comfortable to use.
The proposed device is used for guiding individuals who are blind or
partially sighted. The device used to help blind people to move with the
same ease and confidence as a sighted people.

Methodology :
The working of the system begins when the power supply is given. The Smart
Blind Stick will have an Ultarsonic Sensor, LDR, Arduino UNO, Buzzer.
All the components are connected to arduino UNO for processing.
ADC and DAC takes place in the Arduino. Additional navigation efficiency is
provided through Buzzer.
Basically, according to the distance assumed in the code , the ultrasonic sensors
works according to that and if any obstacles comes across then blind stick detects
the obstacles as an input function.
Then, after receiving the input from the ultrasonic sensors , it will notify the user
by giving the notification in the form of sound.
This sound will be buzzer sound, ensuring the user is notified and saved from the
obstacles he/she comes across.
Advantages & Applications :
• Advantages :
1. This system offers a low-cost, reliable, portable, low-power consumption and
robust solution for navigation with obvious short response time.
2. Though the system is hard-wired with sensors and other components, it's light
in weight
• Applications :
1. It works as a navigation device for the blind people by alerting them about dangers.
2. The system is applied in automotive parking sensors and obstacles warning system.
3. It is applied during the measurement of object distance.
4. Robotics barriers.
5. Auto detection .

Conclusion :
The project proposed the design and architecture of a new concept of Smart
Electronic Guiding Stick for blind people.
The blind stick proposed in this paper can aid the visually impaired user by helping
him/her navigate through different terrains and obstacles.
