Manju Abstract The Blind Navigator is a system designed to assist visually impaired individuals in navigating their environment using earphones. The system uses a combination of GPS, obstacle detection, and audio cues to provide real- time navigation information to the user. The user wears a pair of earphones connected to a smart phone app that receives the GPS location and provides audio cues to guide the user along their desired route. In addition, the app uses obstacle detection technology to detect obstacles in the user's path and provides warnings through the earphones. The pulse rate sensor and temperature sensor can be used to identify the health condition for emergency purpose and alert if any health issues will be find. The Blind Navigator system provides a convenient and reliable means for the visually impaired to navigate their environment independently, safely, and confidently.
