The visually impaired community experiences significant difficulties in navigating through daily life due to the limitations of their vision. Traditional methods of navigation such as trained dogs and simple white sticks are not efficient in breaking the barrier of blindness and do not provide the necessary level of comfort and independence for individuals with visual impairments. To address this issue, a project has been developed with the main objective of creating a useful smart stick that empowers visually impaired individuals to live independently without relying on other animals or humans for assistance. The smart stick is equipped with sensors that detect fire/smoke, a GPS tracker, voice-oriented devices, pits detecting capabilities, and an Arduino microcontroller. By incorporating these advanced technologies into the smart stick, visually impaired individuals can navigate their surroundings with greater ease and safety. The smart stick not only detects potential hazards but also provides voice guidance and navigation assistance, allowing for a more comfortable and independent way of life. The roles of each are as follows: the voice-oriented devices give alert notification either reached destination or directions or location of a lost stick, the sensors detect the cigarettes smoke or fire and gives an alert notification, whenever there is an obstacle present in the walkway it vibrates. Pit detecting plays the important role as there are many pits across the paths which cannot be known to the blind, with the smart stick they can know that there is a pit, and it gives an alert about it with help of ultrasonic sensor. The proposed approach not only overcomes the disadvantages of the existing methods, but it is also optimal, cost efficient and easier to carry not only for the blind people but also for the elderly ones.
