Many hand-controlled robots are developed for visually impaired people in order to make them live confidently. This project work proposes a Human Computer Interactions with the help of gestures recognition wireless to help physically handicapped persons to move robot in desired direction lives. The project work is framed into three stages. First, gesture capturing and recognition – gesture capturing uses a laptop or pc camera that takes input from our hands and gesture recognition based on the finger count algorithm. Secondly, Transmission of data wireless – ZigBEE Module is used for serial transmission of data, Finally, Movement of Robot - The robot will move based on the fingers opened or fingers closed and displays the direction in laptop or pc in which direction the robot is moving. This project work can be able to insist the physically enabled people in their daily life. The entire process will run on Arduino Uno, ZigBEE Module, L293D Motor Driver

Blind people face the problem in daily life. They can't even walk without any aid. Many times they rely on others for help. Several technologies for the assistance of visually impaired people have been developed. Among the various technologies being utilized to assist the blind, Computer Vision-based solutions are emerging as one of the most promising options due to their affordability and accessibility. This paper proposes a system for visually impaired people. The proposed system aims to create a wearable visual aid for visually impaired people in which speech commands are accepted by the user. Its functionality addresses the identification of objects and signboards. This will help the visually impaired person to manage day-to-day activities and navigate through his/her surroundings. Raspberry Pi is used to implement artificial vision using python language on the Open CV platform.

Computer Keyboard

Presently, computers have become a part of everyone’s daily life, including the visually impaired people. Keyboard, being the only input device for using a computer, is not friendly for the visually impaired. The computer skills of these people go unutilized since they find it difficult to work using the standard keyboard. Several companies today market alternative keyboards for helping the visually impaired to type, yet they are not suitable for them. Thus, the technical aim of this paper describes an innovative idea for eliminating the above said issue by using the existing QWERTY keyboard to enhance the interaction of the visually impaired people with standard computers thereby eliminating all of the practical and mental constraints.

This study was designed tactile communication design products for the visually impaired. In this study, it is aimed to enable visually impaired people to be aware of the animate, moving and changing life. As a method, the visually impaired were interviewed about problems. Answers were sought for the following open-ended questions. 1.   Are there any advertising posters and brochures designed for you around where you live?2.   Through which tools are you informed by the advertisements and notifications?3.   If there were tactile advertisement and bulletin boards designed for you outdoors, would you use them?4.   If the billboards at the bus stops were designed for you with annotated tactile signs, how much useful would they be?5.   Would you use them if there were informative advertisements and notifications placed on the stair railings?6.   Would you read if there was a part for you at the daily newspapers and magazines?The interviews were analyzed and analytical materials devoted to the problems were produced. The visual images which are visual communication materials and posters, billboards, notice boards which are made by using visual typography were redesigned by using tactile images and Braille alphabet. While the products were being designed, designing products were used. For the printing process, special prints were used which can make embossed printing with hot pressing.  As a result; the produced tactile products were presented to the visually impaired people. About these sample products, the visually impaired people stated that by means of such beneficial initiatives, they feel themselves not drifted away from society and besides with the help of these kinds of products; they feel like they are considered important and present in this society. By the help of such tactile communication designs which are made and will be made, the visually impaired people will find themselves in ordinary daily life and they will be able to get rid of their existing feeling of insufficiency. It is thought that, these kinds of studies will prevent them from cutting their social ties with the society.Keywords: tactile communication design, tactile graphics design, tactile infographics

Intelligent Recognition

Visually impaired people are facing many difficulties in daily life because of the disability in visual sensation. In daily consumption, they are hard to perform the transactions solely. They need to be assisted by other people in daily life, especially in purchasing, since they cannot recognize the different products with similar shapes and sizes. Also, in processing payment, visually impaired people are hard to differentiate the denominations (values) of banknotes. And many derived problems, such as cheating and providing the improper products, are being occurred. In this paper, an intelligent recognition system has been developed for visually impaired people in Hong Kong. The application system can help the users recognize canned foods and differentiate the nominal values of the banknotes so as to complete the monetary transactions efficiently and effectively. The application can be installed in smartphones with voice and vibration. By applying neural networks with assistive technology, the accuracies of recognizing banknotes and canned food are over 95% and 75%, respectively.

Different Parts

This essay will discuss graphic design approaches for the visually impaired people. It focuses on several graphic design fields such as typography, images, printing, reading and writing, info graphic in different parts of life, packaging and web design and how they meet with the visually impaired people’s needs. Many useful things were invented and are helping the visually impaired people in their daily life but I see there are still significant problems and issues that need solutions. The graphic designers are those who can do much more to help these people to be part of the society more than before and to make their life easier. The approaches include suggestions to the simple changes as well as more difficult ones being open to more discussions and further research by the scientists and specialists. The thought behind this essay is to improve the life of the visually impaired people through graphic design, which is a powerful tool. The graphic designer’s aim should not be to only produce visually nice work but to think of how the environment can be changed to make everybody feel comfortable in it, whether it is done through small changes or revolutionary ideas. It is important to take the needs of disabled, and this essay focuses on the visually impaired people around us that need to be brought into consideration. I have tested myself how it feels to be ‘blind’ for some time during my research, and it helped me to clearly understand more about the whole subject. Based on my research I came up with a several ideas and helpful suggestions and solutions. Some of them might be time consuming at the beginning but when implemented I believe they could save a lot of time and mainly help the visually impaired people to enjoy their life and be an equal part of our society.

Cultural Constructions

Changing ideas on the nature of and relationship between the senses in nineteenth-century Europe constructed blindness as a disability in often complex ways. The loss or absence of sight was disabling in this period, given vision’s celebrated status, and visually impaired people faced particular social and educational challenges as well as cultural stereotyping as poor, pitiable and intellectually impaired. However, the experience of blind people also came to challenge received ideas that the visual was the privileged mode of accessing information about the world, and contributed to an increasingly complex understanding of the tactile sense. In this chapter, we consider how changing theories of the senses helped shape competing narratives of identity for visually impaired people in the nineteenth century, opening up new possibilities for the embodied experience of blind people by impressing their sensory ability, rather than lack thereof. We focus on a theme that held particular social and cultural interest in nineteenth-century accounts of blindness: travel and geography.
