Abstract:


A lots of blind people suffer in their own lives because of their vision loss. Vision is one of the five important senses in the human body. People with Vision loss have their own disability. Many countries around the world provide special assistance to these needed people to improve their life quality as good as possible. They provide them with special equipment for their disability to improve their daily life like voice message service, electronic stick that guide them while moving around and other specialized equipment. This paper present a project idea to establish and provide ultrasonic gloves to blind people for guiding them to their right roads without the need for other people assistant. This Can be done through Ultrasound waves that will be sent to the surrounding then it will be collected by detector in the gloves then to be sent as vibration or Audio signals to the blind’s so they can be aware of their surroundings and they can choose their own road and way without other people assistant
