The originality and inventiveness of VisionGuard lie in its unique approach to addressing the safety and mobility challenges faced by visually impaired individuals. While guide dogs have traditionally been relied upon for assistance, the proposal for an affordable smart glass solution using Arduino components introduces a novel and innovative alternative. By incorporating an object detection system based on the YOLOv3 model, VisionGuard allows real-time identification of obstacles ahead through a micro camera. The integration of ultrasonic sensors for distance measurements and buzzers emitting directional cues adds an inventive element to aid users in navigating their surroundings. Furthermore, the inclusion of a companion mobile application enhances the overall usability and convenience of the system by offering additional functionalities like voice control, emergency calls, and adjusting settings. This combination of object detection, distance sensing, auditory guidance, and mobile app integration in an affordable smart glass solution is a novel and inventive approach to empowering visually impaired individuals and promoting their confidence and safety while navigating unfamiliar environments. VisionGuard has the potential to significantly improve the quality of life for the visually impaired community and contribute to greater inclusivity in public spaces.
