Abstract

At least once in our life, almost all of us have experienced the suffocation of not able to navigate due to the power cut at night time even in the places which is well known to us. Visually challenged people have to face the suffocation on daily basis. The most useful tool for navigation in these circumstances seems to be a cane but even with the help of a normal cane is a difficult task for a visually challenged person as the cane can only detect obstacles within a range of about a meter. Obstacle and range detection for Cane Using ultrasonic & gyroscopic sensor can liberate the visually challenged a better walking experience. This paper reports on a research and study that helps visually-impaired people to walk more confidently. The aim of the paper is to address the design and work of a cane that could communicate with the users through vibration and yet be budget friendly. The work involves coding and instrumental installation. A number of tests and surveys have been carried out on this cane and the results are discussed. This survey found that the obstacle and range detection for Cane Using ultrasonic & gyroscopic sensor functions well as observed, in alerting users about the obstacles in front and range detection.
