Technologies are evolving rapidly in the area of artificial intelligence, geotargeting, robotics automation etc. Artificial intelligences are becoming smarter day by day and we are living in a changing world. Technology has changed the way humans live, whether it's transportation communication or education we interact with technological devices everyday every moment. But there is nothing that can help permanently blind people. According to WHO report on Visual impairment 2015 39 million people are completely blind all around the globe. About 90% of the people facing complete blindness come from poor or low income family 72% of which are aged 50+. Most of the times they need help of another person to do simple tasks like picking up a glass of water. In this paper we will be discussing about Smart Detection Goggles for Visually impaired persons. Our Smart Goggles comes with an inbuilt camera with IR Sensor, Wi-Fi unit, Headphone as an Output Unit. When the camera is turned on, with the help of the AI Sensor it will start recognizing the surrounding and will send the information to the Open-Source Software installed in our phone and connected to the Wi-Fi unit. The Software then transmits the data to the headphone which is attached with the Goggles and will act as the Output Device. These Smart Goggles will be able to help the blind people for doing basic tasks so that they don’t have to rely on other people.
