Introducing the SmartBuilding Project
Consider the unique conditions experienced by the blind when entering a foreign environment for the first time. The visually impaired person does not have the advantage of sight necessary to obtain a sense of building layout, detect obstacles, and navigate toward points of interest. This would be the equivalent of a sighted person walking into a dark room and attempting to accomplish the same tasks.
The objective of our efforts will be to produce or improve upon an existing system that provides indoor navigation for the visually impaired. This system should have the ability to guide the visually impaired person throughout the “SmartBuilding”, avoiding obstacles and guiding them to their chosen destination safely. Additionally, the system should be scalable and portable, so that installation in any building is possible.
