This paper describes the prototype of a pair of straps to assist the visually impaired. One strap is worn on the hand, and other on the foot. Both these straps are designed to work independently and co-dependently. These straps are a replacement to the tedious blind sticks. These help the visually impaired by not only alerting them the presence of an object, but also the size of the object. It is capable of differentiating between a brick and a wall. A different set of sensors for the two straps, to suit the physical conditions while walking. The hand strap also includes a feature to help the colour blind, and assist the blind learners to differentiate colours by just touching the object.
