In today’s consumer and profit oriented world that we live in we do not take the time to develop systems for the differently abled since they are in a minority and hence represent a small market. This leads to the biggest problem that no one wants to make communication devices for them since it is not commercially viable but they represent a significant number of people who would benefit from a navigation assistance which will make their lives so much easier. The proposed system uses three ultrasonic devices to identify the range of the obstacles, a Bluetooth module to relay the distance measured to the mobile device as well as an Arduino board to control the system. There is also a voice assistant application created using JAVA which makes this system so much more sophisticated.
