Ultrasonic Glasses For Blind: Components
Visually impaired people often need assistance in day to day life for navigating through their residence
and outside. Having a human assistance is not possible all the time and so a solution to this problem is
being researched from a long time.
Well here we develop a smart solution to this problem using ultrasonic glasses. Also the glasses are fit-
ted with vibrator rather than a buzzer as constant buzzing sound would be more of a nuisance rather
than help.
The Smart Glasses would offer the following Advantages:
Ultrasonic Based Obstacle Detection
No Need to Carry System as it is mounted on Wearable Glasses
Silent Vibration Alert on Glasses
Light Weight System
The system makes use of 2 x Ultrasonic sensors, an atmega microcontroller, battery, transparent glasses,
basic electronics components and a PCB to develop this system. The glasses can now detect obstacles
and transmit this to the blind person.
The ultrasonic sensors are mounted on glasses on 2 side to act as eyes. The sensors constantly transmit
and receive ultrasonic waves to receive obstacle data. The Microcontroller is constantly getting this data
from the sensors.
Based on this data the microcontroller operates a vibrator motors mounted on the respective side of the
glasses. The microcontroller scans the sensor data and the operates the vibrator motors according to the
data received in order to get a better understanding of the distance.
Thus this system allows blind person to get a more detailed idea of obstacles/objects in front of each eye
using vibrations.
