“…The RGB component helps to determine the type of the currency note. Sambhav et al [62] have established smart gloves for VIPs which help in performing their daily activities based on the (DNN) Deep Neural Network algorithm used for the tracking of objects. These gloves work in indoor environments and have five motors that provide guidance to the user in five different directions i.e.…”

Visually impaired persons (VIPs) comprise a significant portion of the population and they are present in all corners of the world. In recent times, technology proved its presence in every domain of the life and innovative devices are assisting humans in all fields especially, artificial intelligence has dominated and outperformed rest of the trades. VIPs need assistance in performing daily life tasks like object/obstacle detection and recognition, navigation, and mobility, particularly in indoor and outdoor environments. Moreover, the protection and safety of these people are of prime concern. Several devices and applications have been developed for the assistance of VIPs. Firstly, these devices take input from the surrounding environment through different sensors e.g. infrared radiation, ultrasonic, imagery sensor, etc. In the second stage, state of the art machine learning techniques process these signals and extract useful information. Finally, feedback is provided to the user through auditory and/or vibratory means. It is observed that most of the existing devices are constrained in their abilities. The paper presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of the state-of-the-art assistive devices for VIPs. These techniques are categorized based on their functionality and working principles. The main attributes, challenges, and limitations of these techniques have also been highlighted. Moreover, a score based quantitative analysis of these devices is performed to highlight their feature enrichment capability for each category. It may help to select an appropriate device for a particular scenario.

Portable assistive technology systems are developed to enhance the capability of persons with disabilities. One of the most important senses for humans is vision. Vision is the most important sense which helps us in understanding the perception of the surrounding environment. Visually impaired persons face a lot of difficulty in understanding the perception around them, particularly in outdoor environment where objects are continuously changing and moving from one place to another. Object detection solutions would greatly assist visually impaired persons in avoiding from the barriers which they face in their daily routine life. The aim of the object detection system is to provide a simple, user-friendly, handy, economical and efficient solution for the visually impaired persons. Motive of this system is to develop a solution that detects the objects present using camera, as the input device in real time and communicate the same to the user using smartphone through headphones. The system would be using an audio device such as speakers or headphones in providing the information about objects to assist the visually impaired persons. The proposed system helps in identifying and avoiding the objects both in outdoor and indoor environments that affect day to day life activities and occupational performance of the visually impaired persons. The information about the objects in surrounding environment would be very much helpful to the visually impaired persons in their daily life.

“…This glove will be helpful for the people with speech and hearing disability.The gestures shown by the people will be converted to text which will be displayed on an LCD screen,thus the communication barrier in the society will be bridged. Sambhav Jain et al [4] developed a smart glove which works on the concept of Deep Neural Network to guide the visually disabled.The floorplan of the house was pre programmed to the glove. The glove had vibration motors installed on it and it will guide the person to traverse within his house.…”

Human beings can see, listen and most importantly interact with their external environment. This innate ability makes them superior over the other species. Unfortunately, there are some people who are differently abled and do not possess the ability to interact with others. These members communicate with the help of sign language, but this language is understood only within their community. Thus, a huge communication barrier exists between this community and the open world. As a matter of a fact this communication barrier is not only restricted to those with disability but also to the old aged members in the society. The impact of age and diseases are so heavy on them that they are not able to carry out their simple household chores like having food, medicines or a glass of water. Thus, we propose a system called "Smart Gloves" which will be beneficial to them and address their problems. The glove will act as a gesture to text converter. The sign language can easily be converted to understandable form. The glove will also act as an obstacle detector to help the blind navigate the roads. It also comes with built in wireless connectivity so that the old aged can message their guardians in case of an emergency.
