Navigating public spaces is often challenging and unsafe for visually impaired individuals due to a lack of affordable and intuitive assistive devices that can detect obstacles in real-time.
BAT (Blind Assistive Tracker) is a wrist-worn wearable that helps visually impaired individuals move confidently through public environments:
Uses a Six-Axis sensor system to detect obstacles
Provides vibration feedback to alert users of nearby hindrances
Compact, low-cost, and discreet, ensuring better user comfort and mobility
Future scope includes integrating similar sensors into gloves for better directional sensing
This solution empowers users with independent mobility and enhances personal safety.
