Abstract
There are some visually impaired people throughout the world. Some of them may be around us. The visually impaired person finds difficulty while performing day-to-day life tasks. So this research work aims to develop a device which helps them as personal assistant. This paper represents the proposed device's integrated modules and functionalities that can help a blind person. The proposed idea is to provide a wearable device with a Virtual assistant system for the visually impaired person, for some of the basic tasks without requiring the help of others. The system is aimed to provide voice-over assistants for blind people to do tasks like understanding surroundings, looking for an object, recognizing the face of a person with emotion, and reading etc. There is a total of five components merged into one system in this project. The navigation through these components is possible through hardware buttons and voice-over commands given by the user. There are many deep learning methodologies and core libraries of python language used for programming. The complete project is dedicated to being simple to use by visually impaired people and making day to day tasks easy for them.
