Abstract: God has given all of his creations, but especially humans, the priceless gift of sight. Some people, on the other hand, are denied this beauty and are unable to see the world’s wonders for themselves.
“Third Eye for the Blind” is a multidisciplinary initiative that empowers visually impaired people by combining hardware design, software engineering, and scientific ideas. This allows the individuals to confidently and independently explore their environment. This is accomplished by using ultrasonic waves to identify items in the immediate vicinity and deliver feedback in the form of vibrations or beep sounds.
A startling 285 million individuals worldwide are estimated to have visual impairments, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Of them, 39 million are blind and 246 million have poor vision. These people deal with a lot of difficulties in their day-to-day life. The Third Eye project is a creative approach that provides the blind with significant advantages. “Third Eye” is committed to helping those who are blind or visually impaired identify everyday items and faces. Through the use of machine learning, the system can recognize faces and detect objects. Additionally, it uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to read text from recognized objects, such as product names and signboards.
