Visually impaired persons find themselves challenging to travel out independently. Millions of visually impaired or blind people during this world are always in need of helping hands. While walking into an unfamiliar place, Person has to completely depend on other people to reach destination, this restricts their mobility. Hence, we are developing a smart walking stick which will help them to know about their surroundings and also guide them during travelling. Blind stick is an innovative stick designed for visually disabled people for improved navigation. The blind stick is integrated with ultrasonic, IR sensors in conjunction with motors. On sensing obstacles, If the obstacle is close enough then buzzer and vibrator motor get activated. The system has another advanced feature integrated to assist the blind man to seek out their required location. The main objective of this project is to style a sensible walking stick that alerts visually impaired people over obstacles ahead could help them in walking with less accident. It outlines a much better navigational tool for the visually impaired. The Smart Stick will help the blind man by providing more convenient means of life.
