Abstract

The visually impaired community depends on seeing people for a significant amount of info and assistance. This project, explores the ability of iBeacon technology to support visually impaired people though circumnavigating in the open. Testing exposed that the current iBeacon system coupled with the necessary Bluetooth technology, provides voice notification that can be used for assistance for blind people. Interviews with industry experts revealed that the weaknesses have been overcome internationally by blending Bluetooth with other technologies. Hence, that iBeacons have great potential as an assistive tool for visually impaired people.
