Summary:Abstract The blind’s competency is to navigate to a particular place and to commence their daily activities is of decisive importance for their prosperity. It is estimated about one billion people are blind out of 285 million people visually impaired of all ages, according to the statistics of World Health Organization. This work includes an affordable and more efficient navigation aid for the blind which provides artificial vision by providing knowledge about an environmental scenario of static and dynamic characteristics of objects around them. This system induces a smart cane with ultrasonic sensors placed to intimate the intermediaries to their acknowledgment through Bluetooth. ZIGBEE used in this project so as to met the sensor and control device communication standards for navigation for the blind with the smart cane via Google maps their destination.
