Abstract

Statistic states that 285 million people are estimated to be visually impaired worldwide: 39 million are blind and 246 have low vision. About 90% of the world's visually impaired people live in developing countries. Taking in consideration that Mechatronics is a method-ology used for the optimal design of electromechanical products, and by combining technologies that are available to us we can develop a very useful tool that blind people and people with sight problems can change their lives.
Combining smart phones and digital camera there are possibilities to build smart glasses which will give infor-mation to blind people. In this paper definitely a new ap-proach for making peoples life easy is proposed. Initially the re-sults are reached from simulation using Matlab/SIMULINK pack-age which will lead this research to real time experi-mental results.
