| dc.description.abstract | Eyesight is an important sense that helps humans to avoid dangers and navigate in our world. Blind people usually have enhanced accuracy and sensibility of their other natural senses in order to sense their surroundings. But sometimes this is not enough because the human senses can be affected by external sources of noise or disease. That is why technology has been used to develop many assistive tools. Artifacts like white canes or braille compasses help blind people moving around in the environment. In this article, the use of a system that detects and recognize nearby objects or obstacles is proposed, giving an audible feedback to the user. It is designed as a wireless system in order to be comfortable to be carried by the user. The system helps visual impaired people to move around in indoor or outdoor scenarios. The goals of this blind guide system is to detect obstacles that white canes or dogs cannot, extending its detection range. | por |
