SmartGuide system to assist visually impaired people in a university environment

Published: 22 April 2009 Publication History

Abstract

This paper presents a caregiver monitoring system for assisting visually impaired people. The objective of this system is to assist blind and low vision people to walk around independently and safely in a university environment by providing speech guidance on their current location and navigation information on how to move to a particular location.
