A device designed and built using Internet of Things technology and artificial intelligence, as it contains the following:
• A sensor for measuring distance.
• A small camera for photography
• Small computer for analysis and transfer of data to the application
• A particular application on the smartphone
How the device works
• When the device senses the presence of a barrier close (2 meters) to a person with special needs (e.g., a blind person), it makes sounds to alert the person that there is an obstacle
• The device emits an alert sound to alert the person that there is a barrier ((obstacle)).
• To determine the barrier, the blind person presses a button on the device. The device takes pictures and sends the images to artificial intelligence via the Internet for analysis.
• After analysis, the device provides an audio explanation of what is present in the pictures, including walls, furniture, people, and people’s moods. It also describes the people’s features and expressions. In addition, if there is writing, it will read it.
The devices consist of a two-part speaker and camera. The speaker and the camera needs to be connected to the Wifi.
