Intel Edison Based Scalable Platform Solution For Visually Impaired People On W-Iot

Wearable Internet of Things (IoT) is seen as one of the advance paradigm in widespread applications such as health care, fitness, etc. There is a huge gap in the technology that helps today the visually disabled people to this advance level. There is a very much need to have a single robust solution utilizing the information from Computer vision and combining with a 360 degree protection for the user, without constraining the user from anything. A novel scalable solution for visually impaired is developed and a prototype is made using Intel Edison, camera and sensors. The proposed methodology provides the visually impaired with detail information about their surroundings. In this paper, we presents scalable solution using computer vision techniques and sensors to achieve independent navigation.
