Abstract

Lately, technology has demonstrated its existence in every aspect of life, and inventive gadgets are helping people in every field. In particular, artificial intelligence has taken the lead and outperformed the other trades. This paper introduces a cost-effective and technologically advanced assistive device, the smart stick, designed to enhance the lives of visually impaired individuals. Utilizing Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT), the smart stick features UV sensors for efficient object detec- tion and communicates seamlessly with a dedicated application through Bluetooth. The application, in turn, activates the camera, leveraging so- phisticated image recognition algorithms to convert visual information into spoken words, providing real-time auditory feedback. The smart stick also integrates a GPS module for precise location information, im- proving navigation, and incorporates solar panels for eco-friendly power enhancement, ensuring prolonged operational duration. Emphasizing af- fordability without compromising functionality, this device emerges as an accessible and transformative tool for individuals with visual impair- ments.
