Assistive New Gen Smart Blind Stick Using React
摘要
Nowadays, with more traffic and a rise in the number of vehicle users, the visually impaired people find it difficult to travel around due to safety concerns. Moving even to locations that are accessible by foot becomes challenging. This paper provides a smart blind stick integrated with IoT that will make blind people's daily activities safer and more seamless and a React application for the guardian to track the location of the blind person. A sophisticated blind stick system that uses an ultrasonic sensor to detect objects before the blind stick comes into contact with them within a given range, and that signals impediments with a specific type of beep. Attaching a vibrator to the stick's handle to inform the user of the presence of water, this is done using a shorting system to detect the presence of water. The blind person can press a red button to send an alert message with geographical location to the guardian with the help of GSM and GPS through SMS. Panic alarm is used to gain the attention of the public when the blind person needs any help. A location tracking application developed using React integrated with GPS to obtain real time location with an interactive user interface for checking on the blind person while traveling.
