In this proposed work, a simple, cheap, friendly user, smart stick will be designed and implemented to improve the mobility of both blind and visually impaired people.Presently, a simple stick is used as an aid inoredr to perform their daily chores. By using this stick does not make them completely independent when they are perforing their daily tasks..We are presenting a smarter approach where a microcontroller based automate hardware will act like an artificial vision and alarm unit for the blind to address this problem. The main aim is to provide a affordable,simple yet an efficient solution for the visually impaired. The idea behind the design of the stick is to keep it structurally similar i.e. thin, lightweight and easy to handle, yet give an active feedback and guidance to the user regarding the hazards in his walking path. All these functionalities are being provided at relatively lower cost and using efficient NLP features. Hence this system enables the blind to move with the same ease and confidence as the normal sighted people.
