Abstract: This research aims to create an assistive device for the people who are suffering from vision loss or impairment. The device is designed for blind people to overcome the daily challenges they face which may be perceived to be trivial to normal people. The device is created by using advance computer science technologies such as deep learning, computer vision and internet of things. The device created would be able to detect and classify daily objects and give a voice feedback to the user who is handicapped with blindness.
Keywords: Visually impaired, object detection, deep learning, computer vision, internet of things
