News- A helping hand for the visually-challenged. Students of Madanapalle Institute of Technology and Science (MITS), Madanapalle, have designed a system called ‘Blind Vision’ that helps the visually-challenged to tread easily even in crowded spaces. M. Guru Prasad, P. Asha, S. Bhavya, M. Gunasekhar, Reddy Prasad and Samarasimha Reddy, final year ECE students, have replaced the canes that guide the visually challenged in detection and avoidance of obstacles. Unlike the scores of similar guiding systems developed at exorbitant costs for people with vision impairment, this seemingly simple, portable and cost-effective alternative navigation system focuses on two things, viz., sensing the immediate environment for them to travel and navigating to destinations beyond the immediate perceptible environment, by making use of GPS, voice, Bluetooth and ultrasonic sensor for obstacle detection.
