Transcript of Navigation System for the visually challenged
• According to a survey, of the 37 million
across the globe, over 15 million
are from India.
• Normally blind people use white canes,
guide dogs, etc. to navigate
but they are of limited assistance.
• The proposed navigational aid uses voice
to indicate current location as well as the
neighbouring locations with directions.
• It also helps in obstacle detection
with the help of infrared sensor
RFID
• Tags were priced very high for long distance communication.
• They were useful only for indoor environment
• Better features are presently available in GPS
• An outdoor close environment would serve a better purpose for our project
GPS
• Android ‘Google Maps’ have a standard navigation for the sighted.
• However we cannot run a multitasking environment using Android OS.
*We are trying for the above*
Filter Capacitors
Bridge Rectifiers
Voltage regulator 7805
MC-89s51
LCD Display 16*2 (with preset)
IR Sensor Module (with LED’s)
Ultrasonic sensor(Tx-Rx pair)
Relay driver IC ULN-2803
Buzzer
Vibrator Motor

The algorithm further

Shortcoming: Two
applications cannot
run simultaneously on
an Android O.S
*THE HELP OPTION*
THEORETICAL ASSUMPTION
PRACTICAL CONCLUSION
RFID is presently an area
where much development
cannot be expected w.r.t
navigation
Bluetooth interfacing for
transferring data from the
stick to the smart phone
can be used
GPS is better suited to meet
the requirements; it can be
made accessible to the blind
using our application .
It is difficult to read the data
on a smart phone
simultaneously because 2
apps cannot work on one
G.U.I. Hence a buzzer/
motor are temporarily added.
