Abstract
One of the major challenges faced by visually challenged people is self-navigation in unknown environments. They often tend to get hurt by objects that they cannot feel using their hands or a walking cane, as certain objects are hard for a blind person to detect by just using tapping their walking cane. To avoid obstacles and navigate through a new environment, a smart belt for the visually impaired is performed in which he/she can continuously detect the obstacles around the user with its sensors that span the entire 360° of his/her field of view. Whenever an obstacle is in a nearby range, sufficiently enough to cause a hindrance, the device will give sensory cues to the user about the location of the obstacle and family members are also tracked them using GSM and GPRM system.
