Besides its ultra-sonic sensors, which help to detect obstacles from far away, we decided to make use of the new revolutionary IoT definition. The cane gets connected to the Wi-Fi hotspot of the android phone. It sends a periodic mail with the location of the cane holder using the equipped GPS module on the cane to inform the relatives of the person of his site in case of any emergency. Also, the vibrators beside the buzzer help more with sensing and adequately warn the holder of any obstacles. There is also a LED strip to light up the way and warn the people of the holder's instructions. The proposed solution prove the Superior and cheapest solution for blinds.
