Stick for
Visually
Impaired

Motivation
Visually impairment is a factor that greatly reduces the

mobility of people.

Currently the most widespread and used mean by the

visually impaired people are the white stick, however it
has limitation.

With the latest technology, it is possible to extend the

support give to people with visual impairment during

their mobility.

Introduction
Electronic stick, whose objective is to give users the

confidence to move around in unfamiliar environments.

In this project, We proposed an idea of designing

electronic stick using Ultra-sonic technology.

Ultrasonic sensors to trace the obstacle at a specific

distance.

Ultrasonic Sensor
Ultrasonic sensors are much more efficient than other

obstacle detection sensors.

Ultrasonic Sensors relatively inexpensive and also the

ultrasound emitters and detectors are portable without the

need for complex circuitry.
real time assistance and artificial vision along with

dedicated obstacle detection system is provided.

Ultrasonic Sensor Principle

Distance

Obstacles

HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor

The HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor uses sonar to determine

distance to an object like bats or dolphins do.

Time = Width of Echo pulse, in uS (micro second)
Distance in centimeters = Time / 58
Distance in inches = Time / 148
Speed of sound, which is 340m/s

Buzzer
A buzzer or beeper is an audio signaling device, which

maybe mechanical, electro mechanical, or piezoelectric.

Typical uses of buzzers and beepers include alarm

devices, timers and confirmation of user input such as a

mouse click or keystroke.
In our Project when ever there is an obstacle at a

distance of 35cm buzzer is activated to get an alarm.
