Eyes play an important role in our day to day lives and are perhaps the most valuable gift we have. This world is visible to us because we are blessed with eyesight. But there are some people who lag this ability to visualize these things. Due to this, Visually impaired people face many challenges when moving in unfamiliar public places. 285 million people are estimated to be visually impaired worldwide: 39 million are blind and 246 million have low vision. Hence, the wearable devices should design for visually impaired people. Smart shoes are wearable system design to provide directional information to visually impaired people. To provide smart and sensible navigation guidance to visually impaired people. During the operation, the user is supposed to wear the shoes. When sensors will detect any obstacle, the user will be informed by the voice system. The Smart Shoes along with the application of GPS system shall help the user in moving around independently.

The main concern for blind people is mobility. They need to depend on others for mobility. So we are developing a tool for visually impaired people (VIP) that will help them to navigate. With the help of Android applications, they can navigate through the path. The system we will design will consist of sensors for sensing the surrounding environment and giving feedback to the blind person of the position of the nearest obstacles in range. Users will wear shoes for easy mobility. Sensors will sense obstacles and the voice command will guide the person to the destination. Also in addition to that, we are integrating sensors that can detect water as well as fire if the user comes in contact with it. Using smart shoes, blind people need not depend on others for mobility.
