Application for assisting mobility for the visually impaired using IoT infrastructure

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a revolution in the field of Computing and communication. IoT can offer assistance and support to people with disabilities to achieve a better life. Visually impaired (VI) people face many challenges while traveling. Despite many research efforts in this area, no single solution has not been widely accepted by the blind community, mainly because existing systems cannot satisfy all of VI's mobility needs. Various application frameworks are examined in order to demonstrate the interaction of the components of IoT with an Android Application. Our ultimate research goal is to enhance the mobility of VI people in a wider range of travel activities.
