People with visual disabilities must make an extra effort to insert themselves into
society and to a participate as citizens in the world around them. The blind due to the
lack of vision especially in unfamiliar and large scale environments faced with
enormous problems in their way finding. In this study, we make a sensor that buzz
when it detects obstacle and then the information of the obstacle will be sent to the
visually impaired people to impede or avoid bumping on the obstacle.
1.3 Objectives - The objectives of this is to help the visually impaired people to
navigate in a more comfortable manner, this study can also help them in terms of

Buzzer/Beep - this device beeps in sensing when there are obstacles in certain
distance.
Sensor - is a device that detects and responds to some type of input from the

The purpose of this study is to help the visually impaired people so that they can
easily navigate through their homes. This can also be of help in terms of refining their
confidence. This study is also important due to two main factors. First, It is essential

This is the way that they can be independent with the help of this device. Second, this
device can also be of help in reducing the anxiety problems of blind people. Vision
loss is associated with reduced quality of life and increased depressive and anxiety
symptoms. In turn, depression and anxiety may cause a further decline in quality of
life, may aggravate disability caused by visual impairment, and may increase
vulnerability for health decline.
