Abstract:
The third eye for blinds is an innovation that helps blind people to
navigate with speedand confidence by detecting the nearby obstacles using
the help of ultrasonic waves and notifying them with a buzzer sound or
vibration. They only need to wear this device as a bandor cloth. The vibration
intensity and rate of beeping increase with a decrease in distance; this is a
fully automated device. It will be wearable technology for the blinds. One of
the main peculiarities of this device is that it will be affordable. The Arduino
Pro Mini 328-15/16 MHzboard is worn like a device. It will be equipped with
ultrasonic sensors consisting of modules. Using the sensor, the visually
impaired can detect the objects around them and travel quickly.When used
on a large scale, with improvements in the prototype, it will drastically benefit
thecommunity. Thus, this is an automated device. Thus, this device will be of
great use for the blinds and help them travel to different places.
Introduction:
Since running the daily life of blind people is very difficult, this project
helps them runtheir life as usual. They can make this project as a gadget or a
device in their hands that detectsthe obstacle. This project is more efficient
than the existing system with a cheaper and more accurate one. Here we are
using an Arduino board to perform this operation, and making life anormal
one for blind people may be a very worthwhile project for them. By making
this as a gadget or a device in their hand, they can easily judge an object on
their own by knowing the buzzer sound. The system uses ultrasonic sensors
as a wide range of fields to detect an object with its higher detection range.
According to WHO, 39 million people are estimated as blind worldwide. They
are suffering a lot of hardship in their daily life. The affected ones have
beenusing the traditional white cane for many years, which, although
practical, still has a lot of disadvantages. Another way is, having a pet animal
such as a dog, but it is expensive. In this proposed system, we developed a

greater comfort, speed, and confidence.

Objectives:
The objective of this project is “The Third Eye for the Blind” is
 To design a portable wearable device for the visually impaired and those
who often must rely on others.
 To help the visually impaired people to move around from one place to
another with confidence by knowing the nearby obstacles using the help of
the wearable band, which produces the ultrasonic waves which notify
them with buzz sounds or vibrations.
 To design the device with a portable, cost-efficient, easy-to-manage, an
effective system with many more amazing properties and advantages is
proposed to support the blind to detect the obstacles even in motion by
using a motion PIR sensor.

The third eye for blind people is an innovation that helps them move
around and from one place to another with confidence by knowing the
nearby obstacles using the help of thewearable, which produces ultrasonic
waves that notify them with buzz and vibrations. We use an ultrasonic
sensor, Buzzer, vibration motor, and an Arduino UNO board to make
thisproduct, as shown in Fig.1. Whenever the ultrasonic sensor detects an
object or obstacles, itwill alert the blind person by continuously giving
vibration and a buzzer sound until the pathchanges. Many accidents occur
even while using the stick. Our project helps blind people torecognize the
objects in front of them and makes them safe. If any person goes without
others, help avoid accidents for that person. Our product is helpful to them.
When the ultrasonic sensor detects the object, the device will notify the
user through vibrations and sound beeps. The vibration intensity and
beeping rate increase with a decrease in distance. The complete
methodology shown in Fig. 2.
Results and discussion:

 The proposed third eye system was designed using components like
Arduino UNO, ultrasonic sensor, Buzzer, DC Vibration Motor, 9v battery,
transistor, resistor, and jumperwires. The components list is shown in the
Table. 1.
 The working principle behind this project is when an ultrasonic sensor
detects an obstacle. The emitted waves sent from the ultrasonic sensor
get reflected by the sensor, and by this,the waves get sensed; the
distance can be measured based on the range then the reflected waves
get captured by the Buzzer. The trigger pin present in the Ultrasonic
sensor triggersthe sound pulses or signals up to a certain distance. When
these signals are reflected by touching an object, if these signals are
weak, BJT takes place, and weak passwords are converted into
strengthening or amplified.
 The signals are received by Arduino UNO, which acts as a mediator.
Arduino is amicrocontroller used to control all functions. It is used to read
the inputs.
 Now the working of the Buzzer takes place, and the audio signals were
converted to soundsignals; then, the vibrator working takes place in
process by using centrifugal force the vibrator gets vibrate. Then both the
buzzer and DC vibration motor alerts the person witha buzz and the
vibrations. Platform easy to use in software and hardware. ECHO pin
presentin the Ultrasonic produces a pulse after signs get received.
Vibration motor takes place which consists of a commutation circuit. It
alternates the direction of the field through thecoils and interacts with the
North and South poles, producing a magnetic field; the vibratorgets
vibrated by this. The complete process is done in a fraction of seconds.
 All components are assembled in a board and it is shown in Fig. 3a. The
complete design was fixed in a glove, as shown in Fig. 3 (b and c). As a
5

prototype, we directly selected thecircuit in a single glove. In the future,
we plan to assemble in a PCB board that can be usedofficially by all blind
persons.

they can walk down the road without difficulty. They can avoid the
walking stick. This Prototype design will quickly identify the obstacles
and alert the person accordingly.

Conclusion:
The primary purpose of this study is to produce a prototype for blind
people that can detectobjects or obstacles even in motion in front of users
and feed warning back, in the form of buzzand vibration, to users. A
combination of ultrasonic sensor and Arduino UNO function are usedto detect
obstacles. The proposed prototype was designed and verified. Now it is used
for blindpeople to facilitate movement and increase safety.
Future Scope
The wearable technology for blinds resolves the existing technical
problems. Nowadays, there are many instruments and intelligent devices for
visually impaired people for navigation. Still, most of them have specific
issues with carrying, and the major drawbacks arethose that need a lot of
training to use. One of the main peculiarities of this innovation is that it is
affordable for everyone. There are no such devices available in the market
that can be wornlike cloth and have such a low cost and simplicity. When
used on a large scale, withimprovements in the prototype, it will drastically

benefit the community. The prototype device has the following features:
 It is a wearable technology for blinds.
 It uses ultrasonic waves to detect obstacles.
 It notifies the blocks/obstacle by vibrations and a buzzer sound.

In the future, the prototype device will be developed into a complete
model using a PCB board. We plan to give this product to the National
Association for the Blind (NBA) for authorization. Once it gets approved by
the NBA, the device will be provided to blind the schools and homes related
to blind people.
