Abstract

Blindness is a huge challenge that causes many problems, such as lack of social relationships, limited activities, and lack of employment. Existing solutions such as the white stick, assistive pets, and technologies that help blind people avoid obstacles are still in development. Unfortunately, not all blind people have a companion in life, and they face the struggles of life on their own. This study helps blind people recognize objects that they cannot see, distinguish people using face recognition, and help them move from one place to another, without assistance. The device is integrated with GPS feature and have its own mobile application where a family member can monitor or track the location of the actual blind person. The proponents are motivated to bridge the gap between blind people to their community and the outside world, this would be a huge blessing for these physically challenged people who would mostly be able to see the objects and people in front, travel to other places, and mostly detect obstacles that can harm them.
