Abstract

In this high tech era, technology has made it possible that everyone can live a comfortable life. But somehow the physically challenged people need to depend upon others in their daily life which ultimately makes them less confident in an unfamiliar environment. But nowadays the explosion of innovative technology provides many opportunities for them to live confidently without feeling as a burden. So, in this paper, an intelligent device is represented for visually challenged people to guide them to reach their destination place safely without facing any difficulties. It consists of Raspberry Pi and PIC as the controller, Global Positioning System (GPS) along with sensors like Ultrasonic and other supportive sensors and an Android-based Application (APP).
