 ABSTRACT

This device includes a pair of glasses and two obstacle detection modules fitted at two sides
of theglasses, a processing unit, output devices i.e., a beeping component and a vibrator, and
a power supply. The Obstacle detection module and the output device is connected to the
processing unit.The power supply is used to supply power to the central processing unit. The
obstacle detection module basically consists of an ultrasonic sensor, processing unit consist
of a control module and the output unit consists of a buzzer. The control unit controls the
ultrasonic sensors and get the information of the obstacle present in front of the man and
processes the information and sends the output through the buzzer and vibrator accordingly.
These Ultrasonic Glasses for Blind people are a portable device, easy to use, light weight,
user friendly and cheap in price. These glasses could easily guide the blind people and help
them avoid obstacles.

 1. Introduction (sample)

In our lives, there are many people who are suffering from different diseases or handicap. These
people need some help to make their life easier and better. For instance, people with vision difficulties
can study with normal students if they have an appropriate chance. Visual impairment is a significant
challenge faced by millions of people worldwide. While there have been advancements in assistive
technologies, individuals with blindness still encounter difficulties in navigating their surroundings
independently. Ultrasonic glasses, also known as ultrasonic obstacle detection glasses, are a promising
innovation that can potentially enhance the mobility and autonomy of blind individuals. This report aims
to provide an overview of ultrasonic glasses, their functionality, benefits, limitations, and potential future
developments. The main goal of „Ultrasonic Glasses‟ as a project is to make the lives of blind people a little
bit easier. In this project when the sensor finds an object and the distance is greater than 3 meters then it
will not sense, if the distance is less than 300 cm then it senses and creates sound. One is Giving blind
people the great accessibility to their environment is the objective of the smart glass system [1]. The key
function of another system is to enable the user in perceiving social signals during a natural dyadic
conversation [2]. The third system is a design, fabrication, assembly, and characterization of a fully-
integrated single-chip glass BGA package at 40/80 μm off-chip I/O pitch with multilayered wiring and
through-package-vias (TPVs) at 160 μm pitch [3]. The ClimaWin project's main goals are to improve both
indoor air quality and the energy efficiency of new and refurbished buildings, through the use of novel
green smart windows [4].Another one is an indoor navigation wearable system based on visual markers
recognition and ultrasonic obstacles perception used as an audio assistance for blind people[5].
There was a solution for the blind people to walk safely by detecting obstacle and generating
corresponding alert signal according to the distance of the obstacle [6]. The Microsoft Kinect camera
enables a mobile robot to do essential tasks like localization and navigation [7]. There is a design of a
small portable electronic cane utilizing Polaroid's Ultrasonic Ranging Unit intended to supplement or
replace the traditional long cane is presented [8]. An intelligent assist blind glass system, comprising a
wireless transmission module, a high-definition camera, an infrared sensor, an eyeglass frame, mounting
the cartridge [9]. The next one is an embodiment of the present invention is a method for communicating
navigation information on a physical environment to a user [10]. An invention included an electronic
talking stick for the blindand more particularly to a stick which talks to instruct a blind man to walk [11].
