Abstract: Disclosed is a system (100) that is configured for assisting blind and visually impaired users in safe and independent navigation. The system (100) includes a wearable support structure (102), a processing unit (104), a camera module (106), an ultrasonic sensor unit (108), a GPS module (110), an object recognition module (112), an optical character recognition module (114), an audio output unit (116), a vibration alert unit (118), and a user control unit (120). The camera module (106) captures image data from a surrounding environment, and the ultrasonic sensor unit (108) detects nearby obstacles by measuring distance. The object recognition module (112) identifies surrounding objects, and the optical character recognition module (114) extracts printed text from the image data. The GPS module (110) determines location data. The processing unit (104) generates real-time guidance output through the audio output unit (116) and the vibration alert unit (118).
