Overview / Usage
The path finder is a pair of smart glasses for the blind that helps them manouvre around and find the best suitable path of movement.
It works on the principle of obstacle avoidance using different sensors.
The sensors check for obstacles in four key areas :
1.Forward (Direct line of sight)
2.Left (45 degrees angle)
3.Right (45 degrees angle)
4.Ground (45 degrees angle)
Vibration modules are used as the mode of communication to the blind in order to guide him/her around.
The real time data such as the specific GPRS coordinates is also transmitted to the cloud for constant monitoring by an auxiliary person.
