“…9) has been used, together with a smartphone running Android, to implement the local platform of the SO2SEES system. The 2SEES has originally been designed as a demonstrator for obstacle detection, localization and navigation functionalities [32]. Like our SOs, it is built upon the uSu-Edu and Raspberry Pi 3 boards.…”

The last few years have seen substantial progress in the field of smart objects (SOs): their number, diversity, performance and pervasiveness have all been quickly increasing and this evolution is expected to continue. To the best of our knowledge, little work has been made to leverage this abundance of resources to develop assistive devices for Visually Impaired People (VIP). However, we believe that SOs can both enhance traditional assistive functions (i.e. obstacle detection, navigation) and offer new ways of interacting with the environment. After describing spatial and non-spatial perceptive functions enabled by SOs, this article presents the SO2SEES, a system designed to be an interface between its user and neighboring SOs. The SO2SEES allows VIP to query surrounding SOs in an intuitive manner, relying on knowledge bases distributed on Internet of Things (IoT) cloud platforms and the SO2SEES's own back-end. To evaluate and validate the exposed concepts, we have developed a simple working implementation of the SO2SEES system using semantic web standards. A controlled-environment test scenario has been built around this early SO2SEES system to demonstrate its feasibility. As future works, we plan to conduct field experiments of this first prototype with VIP end users.

Assistive device tailored for visually impaired individuals to navigate streets, public spaces, and seeking aid independently. It outlines the key components of the system, including a microcontroller board, various sensors, cellular communication, GPS modules, IoT technology, and a Bluetooth instruction provider are showcasing the technological backbone supporting its functionalities. The system primarily employs sensors to track the user's path and detect obstacles, alerting them through sound and wrist vibrations. Notably, it also notifies nearby individuals when assistance is required and sends alerts, alongside the user's location, to registered family members and caregivers via phone messages. Furthermore, registered phones can retrieve the system's location and enable real-time tracking of VIP. The abstract underscores the system's thorough testing and verification process, ensuring its functionality effectiveness. Lastly, it emphasizes the system's superiority over existing solutions and anticipates its significant positive impact on enhancing the quality of life for visually impaired individuals.
