In this paper, we have proposed a system of obstacle avoidance for blind and deaf people using ultrasonic range finding sensors and bone conduction technology. In our system, we have created an ultrasonic glove on which the ultrasonic range finder is mounted which communicates the presence of an obstacle to the person's android phone via Bluetooth communication protocol. The visually impaired person's phone has an app that communicates this message via the bone conduction headphones that is placed on his skull. as the person is hearing impaired due to malfunctioning of the eardrum, bone conduction technology directly excites his cochlea that gives him a sense of hearing.
