Abstract
Eyes considered as the most precious organ of the human body, being blind is considered one of the biggest physical disaster for the human. As per the survey, 39 Million people are blind throughout the world. These blind people go through several challenges throughout their life 24 × 7. Some of the major critical issues they face are their movement through the lanes especially in dense traffic areas, they are highly vulnerable against robbery, kidnapping, and molestation due to their impairment, and they can’t find they are moving through dark or lightened lanes. These are some of the major issues they face which can be mitigated with the efficient use of technology and electronic components. We can enable the walking sticks of the blind person to act as the Stun Gun which produces 20 KV in emergency condition for their protection using Electric Arc Generator and power source. Using Ultrasonic Sensor provides the estimation of the obstacle and vibrates the stick if comes nearby any obstacle below the threshold limit. The major electronic components we use are Ultrasonic Sensor (HC-SR04), Arduino Nano, Electric Arc Generator, LDR, Dry cell, and Vibration Motor. We can design an efficient blend of technology and logic to short out the issues of the blind community which will be our gift to humanity.
