Abstract:

  Zig-Bee based wireless body area networks have enabled its way when it gets embedded with Integrated Engineering which proves an aid for the human assistance as well. Navigation in case of unknown outdoor environments for visionary impaired people becomes tedious. Different solutions such as white cane, walking stick, guide dogs and GPS guidelines are there which proves its ability to act as the second eye. Evolutions have been made through rapid change & development with the advent of the electronic devices where in real-time scenarios; road crossing has become a prominent issue which is quite not natural for visually impaired. The system provides flexibility in using Zig-Bee wearable modems which will be used as wearable devices for blind people and also in all the vehicles where visually impaired can have safe navigation along with a voice over interface provides a direct communication facility & directional path at road & street crossings with GPS facility. The system contains Zig-Bee wearable modems technology with voice over interface to communicate with the unknown outdoor environments.
