II LITERATURE SURVEY
There are various and numerous research works are
carried out in current scenario for navigation, to visual
Impaired.
Drishti [1] gives a combination of ultrasound
positioning devices for indoor navigation on walk able
areas outdoors and differential global positioning system
(DGPS). The main shortcoming of this system the size
and the weight, The DGPS approach is limited due to the
signal barriers such as buildings, skyscrapers, and vast
trees. Hence it reduces the accuracy rate. The size of the
system can be reduced by choosing the smaller size
reader it would reflect an issue in the sensing the tags
Magantani et al [3] made a navigation device /
system for indoor environment using celling mounted
optical beacons; it generates and emits the position code
as an IR signal. These IR signals are harmful to the
human body. And the major drawback of the system is
loss of signals because of the greater ranging in the
transmitter and the receiver and it consumes more power
and the software development is a complex task to carry
out.
Marta Mei [2] developed a project named
GLIDEO (Glove for Identification and Description of B
Objects) it had a database to store the tag information
which can be updated from the on net sources available
on internet. This system possess a security issue and
I INTRODUCTION
The main objective of out proposed system is to provide
a reliable system for indoor [5], [7] and outdoor way
finding and proximity sensing for visually impaired. The
visually impaired students/faculty faces a tremendous dis
advantages when they arrives on college campus and in
unfamiliar public places. In order to become independent
in their daily life with guaranteed full social inclusion,
without depending on other physical bodies. Mobiles and
wireless technologies can be used to experience the
navigation system in a better and effective way into an
intelligent environment.
At present the issue we diagnosed and detected is,
when the visually impaired persons enter into a building
they would be not familiar with the environment they
may miss the path often. At such cases they seek for

IV CALCULATION OF DISTANCE
The distance of the obstacle from the user is
calculated using the microcontroller. The time from
transmission of the pulse to reception of the echo is the
time taken for the sound energy to travel through the air
to the object and back again. Since the speed of sound is
constant through air, the distance of the object is
calculated by measuring the echo reflection tome:
Distance= (SPEED * TIME)/2(in meters)
Based on the response generated with the obstacles alerts
the users to choose a different path
V RESULTS
Demonstration was carried out by a person,
assuming how a visually impaired person would feel.
