Abstract

The significant developments has been made in field T of rehabilitation in last few decades. Noticeable
improvements can be seen in the commercially available devices for the help of visually impaired people. In spite of the current advance technology, this area still needs highly efficient and smart tools that can help such people in moving smoothly and with freedom.
