People with visual impairment face many problems with their lifestyle and surroundings. To overcome this, a special cane with an object detection mechanism is developed. This cane is also paired with the mobile application which helps the visually impaired people to monitor and maintain their lifestyle in an easy way. Many special canes are designed but no such cane helps to monitor the lifestyle of the disabled people. Hence people with visual disability can moderately change their impairment into improvement. When the society helps them with the support they are encouraged to manage their own lives. The development of the cane includes mechanisms such as object detection and notifications alert when sudden disruption occurs. The application is designed in the method that the Blind people can access it and is user friendly to them to maintain their living.
