Abstract

The motivation behind this project is to aid the visually challenged to navigate within the indoor environment with considerable ease. The system is designed on the premise that the user's movements are confined to well-defined locations that can be studied and modeled with reasonable accuracy. The objectives of this system are to help the user reach a destination and keep him informed on his current location while alerting him on any obstacle or hazard on his path. This project is implemented is based on the RFID technology and IR sensor. To implement this application, RFID tags are arranged in each room. Whenever the person is in a room, the RFID reader will detect the room and the person can reach another room by giving voice commands or by pressing switches. The MATLAB environment identifies the voice command and then generates proper voice command instructions to the user to reach the destination. The system is designed would be tested on the premise where the user's movements are well-defined that can be studied and modeled with reasonable accuracy.
