Outdoor solutions aiding the navigation of visually impaired individuals can seamlessly transition to indoor environments. Take, for instance, the adaptation of special lanes and configurations on the floor. However, these existing solutions fall short when it comes to addressing obstacles above ground level, such as open windows, as highlighted in a previous article on the use of ultrasonic glove for visually impaired users. In response, the present proposal is a user-friendly, cost-effective solution that is capable of detecting elevated obstacles. Importantly, this solution aligns with a user’s language preferences, eliminating the need for learning new languages or possessing IT skills. Users simply specify their desired language for the prototype to communicate in, ensuring a personalized experience. The system alerts users to the presence of obstacles through varying levels of warning, calculated based on the distance between the obstacle and the user’s current position. This approach not only enhances safety but also prioritizes accessibility and ease of use.
