A smart blind stick that helps blind people by providing them with advanced technology. Visually impaired or blind people are facing many difficulties around them. Using a Raspberry Pi-based blind stick system to give them an artificial vision to detect obstacles and easy navigation through the system for them. The main contribution of this system is to deliver a low cost efficiency, good navigation efficiency and text to voice aid for the blind person that give an artificial vision by receiving information about the environments statics and dynamics objects. Thus, Smart Stick comes as a proposed solution to help blind people in their daily life without the help of others. In this project we proposed a solution for visually impaired people by using obstacle sensors in blind sticks. This blind stick system plays an important role and it's like a third eye for blind person. To provide a smart electronic help for blind individuals, a smart system concept has been designed. People who are blind or visually challenged have difficulty finding their way around. The Raspberry Pi-based system is designed to give artificial vision and object identification. In this project, we'll use the Raspberry Pi to create a smart system for blind people that includes a camera module and a switch. If someone is in distress, the Pi Camera recognizes and sends a message to that person through earphone. The system is made up of the voice output is controlled by TTS (Text to Speech). The suggested system identifies an object in their environment and gives feedback in the form of speech, warning messages sent by earphone. The overall goal of the system is to deliver a low-cost, high-efficiency navigation and text-to-voice aid for the blind that provides a sense of artificial vision by supplying information about the environment's static and dynamic objects.
