Towards Smart Navigation Using QR Code for Visually Impaired Person
摘要
A Smart Guided Navigation system utilizes technology to provide users with intuitive support for navigating from one place to another. It must find the optimal route in real-time by considering user needs and environmental conditions, leading to increased safety, time savings, and ease of mobility for all. Visually impaired people (VIPs) benefit from a combination of traditional tools, such as canes for obstacle detection, and advanced technologies like smart canes with sensors and GPS apps with voice guidance. However, successful navigation also depends on accessibility, which includes affordable and user-friendly assistive devices, training programs, and public awareness initiatives that empower VIPs to navigate confidently and independently. This report presents an exploration of the development of a navigation system for VIPs. The system integrates Quick Response (QR) codes, mobile technology, and sensor-equipped looking glasses. This article represents a preliminary step towards deploying and refining a scalable navigation solution for VIPs. Early evaluations will be conducted to assess the potential effectiveness of the proposed approach in addressing the navigation challenges faced by VIPs.
