: This paper presents a system for those people of our society who are suffering from visually challenging situations. The system is able to understand obstacles around the subject in the range 2 cm - 400 cm using ultrasonic sensors. Sensor are placed on the stick. It calculates distance of the detected obstacle from the user and gives feedback in the form of voice output. The proposed system uses Arduino Uno based system to process real time data collected using ultrasonic sensor network. Based on the detected signal from the obstacle, appropriate pre-recorded voice output is given to the user via Bluetooth module to their smart phone. The feedback is given to the user via earphones.
