Blindness is a state of lacking the visual perception due to physiological or neurological factors. In this proposed work, a simple, cheap, friendly user, smart stick will be designed and implemented to improve the mobility of both blind and visually impaired people in a specific area. This multipurpose model is designed to help the blind person to navigate alone safely and to avoid any obstacles that may be encountered, whether fixed or mobile, to prevent any possible accident. The device provides voice output giving direction to the blind Using RFID technology, the destination of the bus is detected and voice announcement is given regarding the destination of the bus. The location of stick is added advantage to the current multipurpose device. Using RFID technology the location of the stick is achieved. The blind is provided with a push button to locate the stick. � 2016 IEEE.
