Abstract

Visual impairment is one of the disabilities that could injure people congenitally or adventitiously. The number of individuals who suffer from visual impairment is increasing rapidly. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop assistive technologies that aid blind people. Our proposed system aims to provide an assistive technology for blind and visually impaired individuals by exploiting the power of smart phones, which are existing, popular, and often used by blind individuals. Our proposed system provides a novel navigation system that operates on smart phones and provides a route to any destination in a building from the user's current position.
