Equipamento Vestível para Auxílio na Mobilidade de Pessoas Com Deficiência Visual

Mobility for people with visual impairments is a challenge in places where there is no knowledge of obstacles. Research carried out in this work identified that people with visual impairment have difficulties with obstacles located above 1 meter. Thus, an approach is proposed to notify the visually impaired person through sound and vibration about such obstacles. The proposed solution is available on the ThingSpeak platform and components such as microcontrollers (ESP8266 NodeMcu ESP-12), sensors, buzzer and GPS were used in its development. Results confirmed that the proposed approach correctly identified the existence of obstacles with a height equal to or greater than 1 (one) meter in the way of visually impaired people.
