Development of Electronic Blind Stick

Abstract

In this modern era, blind people have many difficulties when they used the original blind stick which is does not have any technology to help them navigate their self when they are at public area or in a crowded place. This make them quite a bit behind with the present day circulation. Therefore, with this problem that faced by the blind people, we had developed a project which is electronic blind stick that can assist blind people to help them self- navigating with advanced technology that exist today. Furthermore, the method that used in this project are water sensor, ultrasonic sensor, LDR sensor and wireless remote. This electronic blind stick can detect obstacle object, puddle water, dark environment and the user can easily find their blind stick with the LDR sensor on the stick and wireless remote. With this method, blind people can easily navigate themselves in any place where are they located. They know what is happen around them with using this project. In additional, with this project can increase the safety for blind people when they are outside area and they can navigate themselves by using this project.
