Visual deficiency is characterized by the limitation or loss of the basic functions of the eye and visual system. The visually impaired may be the blind or low vision person.

To help people with this deficiency we study and every day we develop something to assist our brothers, this time we made a prototype that can be fixed on any clothing and will serve as a friend, warning the handicapped of objects in front of him, with that the user is not limited to just a single outfit with this technology.

To run this project we use the Arduino Lilypad board, with a little creativity and an easy and affordable programming the project worked and we are here posting to share the solution to the Arduino community.

EXPANDED TECHNICAL DETAILS

Wearable Safety Ecosystem

This "Smart Jacket" integrates multiple sensors to provide 360-degree environmental awareness for the visually impaired.

• Vibrational Feedback Hub: Features multiple Ultrasonic sensors (HC-SR04) mounted on the chest, shoulders, and back. The Arduino processes coordinate data and triggers corresponding vibration motors (LRAs) in the jacket lining, allowing the user to "Feel" the direction of approaching obstacles.
• Safety Lighting: Includes built-in LED strips that automatically illuminate when an onboard LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) detects low-light conditions, ensuring the user is visible to vehicles at night.

Integration

• Compact Core: Uses an Arduino Nano or LilyPad for a flexible, wearable form factor.
• Emergency Panic Button: Includes a physical button that, when pressed, triggers a loud buzzer and uses a GSM module to send the user's current GPS location to a pre-set emergency contact.
