AuxVision 

“AuxVision – Assisted Vision for the Visually Impaired” aims to change the lives of the visually impaired by enabling them to navigate autonomously in indoor environments. To accomplish this task, we rely on hardware components such as different sensors to perceive the environment. All of this has been combined to make a wearable device. Our sensors include the following: 
- 
Ultrasonic sensor. 
- 
Stereo camera.
Using these sensors, we scan the environment around the individual, identify the types of objects in the vicinity and at what distance they are to the person through depth estimation with stereo cameras. In case of potential collision, the user is informed through data from ultrasonic sensor so they can alter their direction of movement. For object detection we are using deep learning model. All of this information is converted from textual format to speech for the person to interpret. This allows them to make an informed decision as to what they want to do.
