Abstract: Moving safely and confidently in a metropolitan area without any human assistance is difficult for vision loss people. In my project a walking stick for blind people that helps them to find their way in this world. This stick will detect obstacles comes in the blind path and it will give vibration and voice feedback to the blind person. This whole system is controlled by raspberry PI which will be operated through the battery. Moisture sensor used to detect water comes in blind person's path. This system provides the current location of the blind person through GPS whenever the blind person feels unsafe. It will send current location of the blind person to blind person's family member through SMS with the help of GSM.This system navigates blind person from unknown place to blind person's home through GPS.
