Fighting Disabilitiess

People who are visually impaired face no shortage of problems in India. Blind people use canes, but the traditional cane can't detect objects higher than the waist.

An IoT based solution to detect the proximity as well as the type of hurdle. The person while holding his mobile device records a video. We perform real time object detection and use an IR sensor to detect the distance of the object. The application according to this input warns the user of the obstacle.

• nodejs
• Arduino
• C++

• IBM Watson for object detection
• (say) for text-to-speech

• Right now we are able to implement hardware part. Our system is detecting that there is a obstacle in its path. Also our image detection is working properly. now we just need to take input for object detection and implement these two feature in one.
