1. Introduction

The third eye for blind is to create a product that will be extremely valuable to persons who are vison impaired and
frequently depend on others.The Third Eye for Blind project is a development that allows externally disabled people
to move around and go from one place to another with confidence and speed by notifying them to nearby obstacles
using a wearable band that emits ultrasonic waves that they are alerted to with a buzz sound or vibrations
According to the definition of blindness, we are referring to a person who is unable to see. A person who
is blind is unable to see anything. While battling for various type of comfort for the normal people, we
have come to the point we have begun to utterly disregard those who are living in misery without of
vision. They confront significant challenges in their day to day lives, and as a result, they become
dependent. They live a life that is very different from that of the general public, and they are treated in a
disconnected and indifferent manner because they are physically disabled. They require the assistance of
others in order to move from one place to another. Sight is the most basic sense of existence, therefore a
person's travel from place to place is governed by it. The goal of this project, The Third Eye for the Blind,
is to create a product that will be extremely Valuable to persons who are vision impaired and frequently
depend on others. The Third Eye for Daze venture is an advancement that permits outwardly disabled

5. Application and Major contribution

This technology will aid vision challenged people in recognizing obstacles in all directions.

• If the object is on the person's left side, the left side gadget vibrates and rings to alert the person to the presence
of the obstruction.
• If the object is on the person's right side, the gadget will vibrate and the buzzer will sound to alert the perso n
that the obstruction is on the right side.
• If the object is directly in front of the user, it will vibrate and ring to alert the user to the presence of an
obstruction. Similarly, the person will be aware of the obstruction from all sides, including the back, left, and
right.
• The proposed system deals with the cheaper and effective obstacle detection with a wide range of coverage

6. Equati on

The US sensor is a transducer that works in tandem with the Trans receiver. If impediments are present in
the path, the US waves hit the barriers and are reflected back to the transmitter, where the reflected wave
is received by the receiver. The sensor used in the United States consists of a single transmitter and
receiver. It is estimated the time interval between transmitting and receiving the US signal.

The distance between the sensor and the obstruction is calculated using this time period.

S = (H*V,)/2

Where S is the distance in centimeters, H is the high duration of pulse width, and V is the sound velocity
in centimeters per second = 343 mis m arr.

The sensors in the center portion belt should be placed in a location where the sensor's US beats are not
confused. For a 1.2 meter draw out, sensors have a field view of roughly rr/3 radians; as the distance from
the sensor grows, the inclusion edge shrinks.

As a result, the goal is to blanket a large area with ultrasonic sensors to identify obstructions, allowing the
blind to roam around freely.

7. Working Principle

For obstacle detection, the suggested system includes components such as an Arduino Nano and
ultrasonic sensor, vibrating motor, buzzers, beard board, helmet as well and few other components such
as red colored LED, switches, connecting wire, male and female header pins, and a 3.3-volt battery. To
make the device wearable like a band, some rubber is employed. The following is a list of the gadget's
connections the -ve terminals of buzzer, and vibration motor are all connected to Arduino's ground. The
Arduino's pin number 5 is connected to the +ve terminal of the LED and the central terminal of the
switch. The +ve terminal of the buzzer must be linked to the l st terminal and +ve terminal of the switch.
The VCC pins of the sensor module and the Arduino are now linked, as are the GND pins of both the
sensor module and the Arduino. The ultrasonic sensor's triggering pin and Arduino pin 12 are wired
together. The ultrasonic sensor's echo pin is connected to Arduino pin number 12. A switch is linked to
select the mode, which is either buzzer mode or vibration mode. Cut the PCB to a 5x3 cm size and solder
the female headers for Arduino to the board. Solder the buzzer now. The motor is connected with glue
and wires are soldered to it. Connect the LED now. Connect the switch once you've connected the LED.
Connect the headers for ultrasonic sensors and battery input. Connect the Ultrasonic sensor and Arduino
to the PCB after soldering all of the components. Each module should have an elastic band attached to it.
Attach the ultrasonic sensor to the board with 4 jumper wires so that a module for the hand may be built,
and connect a 3.7 volt mobile battery to this module. The ultrasonic sensor fix in the front side of the
hamlet, battery and led connected in helmet right side. And all other equipment connected under the
helmet. The US sensor is a transducer that works in tandem with the Trans receiver. If impediments are
present in the path, the US waves hit the barriers and are reflected back to the transmitter, where the
reflected wave is received by the receiver. The sensor used in the United States consists of a single
transmitter and receiver. It is estimated the time interval between transmitting and receiving the US
signal.
