Abstract:
This paper explores various assistive technologies for the blind, from assistive feeding devices to facial and object detection software and smart walking sticks. We break down the complexities of software and hardware, such as You Only Look Once (YOLO) object detection algorithm combined with the exploration of different hardware setups to understand what configurations fit best. We learn that providing active feedback during assistive feeding through tactile and auditory cues can cause disruptance to users, hence opting for smarter ways of output is imperative. We also find that to build an effective and affordable solution we must pack our hardware in a compact and light manner. Any assistive technology that helps with navigation must be equipped with cameras and have software that predicts the nature of different objects and ultrasonic sensors to accurately gauge the distance of objects. While these features may be complimented by others, we find that in order to build an effective device it is likely th
