Desarrollo de un prototipo de guante inteligente ultrasónico detector de objetos con sensores para personas con discapacidad visual.

Abstract

The present study focuses on the development of an ultrasonic smart glove aimed at improving the autonomy and safety of visually impaired individuals. Equipped with ultrasonic sensors, this device can detect obstacles up to one meter away, alerting the user through vibrations and sounds to facilitate safe navigation. A key innovation of the glove is voice recognition, which allows users to receive detailed information about detected objects and control the glove using voice commands, simplifying interaction and improving accessibility. This ensures quick adaptation and effective use in daily situations. The glove also includes a heart rate sensor to monitor the user's health in real-time, vital for detecting stress situations or medical emergencies and providing immediate alerts that can prevent health complications. Thus, the glove not only improves mobility but also adds an extra layer of personal safety. The glove features a GPS module that offers real-time navigation assistance, especially useful in unfamiliar environments. This functionality provides detailed directions and precise orientation, increasing independence and facilitating safer movements. GPS significantly enhances the autonomy of visually impaired individuals, allowing them to participate more actively in daily life.
