‘Education for All’ is a farfetched dream for all Developing Countries. ‘Inclusive Education’ is still farther. Visually challenged individuals are still far from main steam Education. Their overall education is limited to humanity subjects only. They are not able to take up Science and Mathematics as a subject beyond middle school because of the lack of concepts, study material & sufficient teaching aid. The existing solution in Braille is a partial solution to this problem. Our research and resulting solutions enable them to develop the concepts & understanding of science & mathematics which help them study STEM subjects(Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) beyond Middle School too. In the proposed solution, we have developed a Machine Learning-based Software –Hardware Integrated system that helps them understand middle level & higher concepts of Mathematics & Science. It is an integrated system that has a software application connected with hardware comprising features like ‘Concepts and Explanation’, ‘Study Material’, ‘and Practice and Test Yourself’. The whole application can be accessed using the TalkBack accessibility feature of the application. If a blind individual has to trace a Mathematical shape such as say ‘sinusoidal graph’, then the person will draw a graph in real-time on the digital screen attached to the hardware (along with real-time voice assistance for tracing the shape/graph). When the sketching of the shape is completed, the coordinates of the figure traced on the digital screen are mapped and those particular pins/buttons are raised on the hardware device. Thus, the blind individual can touch and understand the shape of the hardware board. Moreover, the figure sketched is further checked for its accuracy and the result is read aloud by the voice assistant embedded in the application which is based on Machine Learning Algorithms.

“…Li Junxi proposed the concept of tourism information science [12][13][14][15][16], and analyzed and constructed the system's framework structure of the discipline, which mainly includes the research object, Areas, themes, and goals. Abdulrasool D and Manoufali M have developed a smart guidance system based on sound reminding blind people, which can sense the user's position and make reminders by installing some hardware sensor devices such as wireless radio or bluetooth devices indoors [17,18]. At present, smart travel projects have been run abroad: Belgium's "Identity City" project, South Korea's "I Tour Seoul" project, Singapore's "Smart Travel Program" project.…”

The development of rural e-commerce and rural tourism has provided new ideas for the reform of rural economic construction. The rapid expansion of rural e-commerce represented by Taobao Village shows people the enormous potential of the rural e-commerce market. While e-commerce has changed the structure of rural economic development, the rapid development of rural tourism has also aroused people's concern. This article analyzes the development of Taobao Village and rural tourism and finds that the development of rural tourism is relatively balanced. The development of Taobao Village is highly spatially autocorrelated, which means that the development of Taobao Village will be affected more by the surrounding Taobao Villages. Finally, the article put forward relevant policy recommendations based on the analysis results.

“…Detecting distance sensors, such as RFIDs, ultrasonic sensors and infrared sensors, are usually used to modify guide canes [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. Regarding the RFID sensing method, a RFID reader module is installed on a guide cane, and a large quantity of RFID tags are positioned underground for positioning and navigation.…”

Visually impaired people are often unaware of dangers in front of them, even in familiar environments. Furthermore, in unfamiliar environments, such people require guidance to reduce the risk of colliding with obstacles. This study proposes a simple smartphone-based guiding system for solving the navigation problems for visually impaired people and achieving obstacle avoidance to enable visually impaired people to travel smoothly from a beginning point to a destination with greater awareness of their surroundings. In this study, a computer image recognition system and smartphone application were integrated to form a simple assisted guiding system. Two operating modes, online mode and offline mode, can be chosen depending on network availability. When the system begins to operate, the smartphone captures the scene in front of the user and sends the captured images to the backend server to be processed. The backend server uses the faster region convolutional neural network algorithm or the you only look once algorithm to recognize multiple obstacles in every image, and it subsequently sends the results back to the smartphone. The results of obstacle recognition in this study reached 60%, which is sufficient for assisting visually impaired people in realizing the types and locations of obstacles around them.
