Blind Navigation System Using Rfid
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 ABOUT THE PROJECT
Independent mobility of visual impaired is difficult. Generally, to explore the space, sightless people use other senses (i.e. hearing, touch and smell) to compensate their disability.
In familiar settings they learn how to orientate in the spaces by recognizing known features (points of reference). Nevertheless In unknown environments, navigation often becomes harder or even dangerous. Besides, in pre-designed environments, wherever indoor or outdoor, orientation may also be achieved by perceiving regularities in the objects around.
Blind navigation system using RFID for indoor environment is a project that aims to design and implement a reliable system to assist visually impaired citizen’s independent mobility .The proposed approach foresees to augment the effectiveness and the usability of the aforementioned supports by the exploitation of innovative ICT’s (Information and Communication Technologies) hardware and software components.
More in details the Blind navigation system using RFID for indoor environment solution intends to improve blind and low vision users’ mobility experience by perceptions with hearing aids. The Contactless RFID technology is emerging as the smart choice, delivering strong security features along with convenience, durability, flexibility, and reliability. The existence system won’t support Speech identification(Alarm Based) and not direction based, Blind navigation system using RFID is direction based and more convenient.
1.2. OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT:
➢ To ensure Independent mobility of visually impaired person. ➢ To make a less cost system for blind navigation. ➢ Providing safety with Portable and durable system. ➢ Develop easy system approach for navigation.
1.3 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROJECT:
The system is implemented
