Navigation Aid for the Blind People in their Native Language

Visually impaired people are at a hindrance, as they lack information on the obstacles and hazards in their paths. The essential information on their travel such as speed, direction of the objects ahead which is to be known is less. The advanced existing methods use robotic assistance, RFID's which are more complex and costly. Hence this paper proposes a cost effective system where a mobile application is created which connects with a sensing device. Ultrasonic is the main concept used for sensing the objects or obstacles at their path. The direction in which the user has to move once the object at the path sensed is provided as a voice instruction in their native language by the mobile application.
