BLIND PEOPLE PERSONAL ASSISTANT

ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION

This paper presents a blind assistant system using RFID technology that aims to ease the travel and movement of visually challenged people, helping visually impaired or blind people who are dependent on other people to guide them. Nowadays, they are facing some difficulties while travelling.This paper presents a low-cost, easy to build and use system for blind people to identify the place where they stand and guide them in identifying shop ,streets and current location.The voice note is now linked to the place and shops, and once the RFID tag is scanned, the voice note is played, making the item easily recognizable. These RFID devices can be used and fixed in different places.The main purpose is to provide a blind assistant system for blind people by assigning different tags to different areas, such as streets, shops, etc., with the help of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, so they get alerted about the current location of those crossing them. The main aim of this project focuses on designing and developing a system capable of sensing and signalling the areas around visually impaired people and guiding them in making their journey comfort.This system is used to help the visually impaired have access to the streets and locations using RFID.An RFID tag is given to the blind person, and their RFID reader device is placed in the streets. We used readers with a small range in this system. RFID Readers with a high range can be used for better efficiency of the system in real-time applications.In future, it made in a single chip or device, such as a watch, etc., so that it will be useful in carrying the device easily by visually challenged people. This system shall be implemented as a device or chip which can be fixed to the blind stick, which will be even more helpful and easier in carrying the system.
