Abstract
Blindness is one of those world's most feared afflictions. Blind people have trouble getting to the desired destination. The smart jacket for visually impaired people or say visually impaired system (VIS) supports this process by providing key facilities a short-range system for detecting obstacles, a short-range system for identifying obstacles, a signboard recognition system, and the shortest path guidance system for source to destination. Obstacle detection, distress calling, global location tracking, voice command functionality, and shortest route guidance are all features of this system in real time. The aim is to build a program that will direct visually disabled people arrive at the destination they want and help them understand the natural world around them. The blind or visually impaired rely primarily on other senses such as sound, touch, and smell to perceive their surroundings. We find it very daunting to go out alone, not to mention toilets, subway stations, restaurants, and so on. The visually impaired program seeks to make blind people fully exposed to their surroundings.
