ST924: AURASENSE :NAVIGATION, LOCALIZATION, & COMMUNICATION For PEOPLE WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMENT VIA SONAR

KANEMA SACHINGONGU Asia Pacific University

AURASENSE pioneers a sonar-based navigation system for visually impaired individuals, offering a revolutionary blend of localization and communication capabilities. Utilizing high-frequency sound waves, the system constructs a real-time auditory map of the environment, enabling users to maneuver with heightened spatial awareness. Sophisticated signal processing algorithms translate sonar echoes into navigational cues, conveyed through tactile feedback devices, facilitating obstacle avoidance and destination tracking. Enhanced by adaptive learning techniques, the system personalizes the guidance to the user's pace and pattern of movement. This fusion of sonar technology and user-centric design promises to empower visually impaired persons with unprecedented autonomy in their daily navigation.
