Abstract: The present invention provides an assistive navigation and support system powered by AI has been developed to improve mobility and spatial awareness for individuals with visual impairments. This system incorporates various input sensing elements, such as braille signage, a smart cane, and an image-to-sound converter, to gather information about the surrounding environment. An artificial intelligence processing unit then integrates this data to carry out functions like obstacle detection and location estimation, which inform navigation choices. Ultimately, the system provides users with immediate spatial guidance through auditory cues, voice prompts, and vibration feedback. FIG.1
