Abstrakt: The development of a Smart Guidance Stick, an innovative technology solution aimed to increase mobility and independence of people with visual impairments, is discussed in this project. The Stick incorporates sensors, microcontrollers, communication tools, and new features such as real-time smart support and emergency contacts. Its goal is to offer visually impaired persons the confidence to navigate unfamiliar surroundings, detect obstacles and get precise instructions via audio guidance. It also has an emergency alert system in case of an emergency. This innovation addresses barriers faced by the blind and visually challenged community by combining sensor technology, algorithms, and communication tools to give greater navigation and autonomy. This work demonstrates how hardware features and components can be successfully integrated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
