Introduction
Developing a tool for the visually impaired people is not a recently emerged problem. But developing a computer aided tool is a still developing area. The Smart Glasses project helps blind and visually impaired people to detect and recognize the office tools around them, which they see through a small camera, the camera is fixed on the glasses. This technique helps providing job opportunities for the blind, especially office work through a voice message sent to an earphone placed on the blind ear to help them find various items easily and independently, also saves time and efforts. Our aim is to create an intelligent system, imitating the human eye, which transfers different scenes and images to the brain. The brain in turn analyzes the images or scenes, and based on previously stored information, the surrounding objects are identified. For this purpose, we use a small device that performs similar to the human brain, called “Raspberry Pi”; It is a small device that analyzes the images and scenes with the help of the camera. This project has an in-built sensor in it which spreads ultrasonic waves in the direction the person is going by scanning at most 5-6 meters of 30ยบ range. This new system may solve some of major problems of blind persons that are still existing. Finally, the sound of each person in the database is called, and a message is sent to tell the blind about the person in front of them.
