A Survey of Voice Aided Electronic Stick for Visually Impaired People

This paper reviews the existing electronic assistance for blind people. Currently, blind people use a traditional cane as a tool for directing them when they move from one place to another. Visually impairment is a factor that greatly reduces the mobility of people. Currently the most widespread and used mean by the visually impaired people are the white stick, however it has limitation. With the latest technology, it is possible to extend the support give to people with visual impairment during their mobility. In this paper we proposed a system named voice aided electronic stick, whose objective is to give users the confidence to move around in unfamiliar environments. In this paper we proposed an idea of designing electronic stick using Global System Messaging (GSM), Global Positioning System (GPS) and Ultra-sonic technology.
