Abstract

According to the research, there are approximately 5.4 million people who are suffering from paralysis. The prototype system focuses on an unique system to help people with LIS paralysis, so they can communicate with a person in an easy manner. The system is done by making use of eye-blinks or eye movement as they cannot move their body parts. A camera module had been used to capture the image and convert the text to voice signal, which is displayed on LCD. The proposed system is coordinated by the help of Raspberry pi.

Keywords

Raspberry pi, Eye-Blinks, LCD, Camera Module.
