Smart Shoes for Blind

Abstract

The Smart Shoes for Blind project integrates a proximity sensor into footwear to help visually impaired individuals navigate safely. The sensor detects obstacles within a 60 cm range, triggering a buzzer alert to warn the user. This USB-powered design is safe, efficient, and practical for daily use.

Working

  • The proximity sensor in the shoes detects obstacles ahead or at foot level.
  • When an obstacle is detected, the buzzer is activated to provide an audible alert.
  • The system is powered by a USB power source, ensuring reliability and safety.
  • The design ensures minimal interference with the user’s natural movement.
