Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This paper presents an innovative personal assistive device designed for the blind and deaf mute. The device utilizes an ESP32 camera module to recognize objects and convey the information via a refreshable braille display. Through the use of IOT and ultrasonic technology, this device enhances the independence of visually impaired individuals by accurately detecting objects and distances. This new assistive tool bridges the gap left by conventional aids, offering a reliable solution for everyday navigation and communication.
