iWalk:intelligent walking stick for visually impaired subjects

Visually impaired people find great difficulty in moving around freely without a human guide, especially in a new terrain. iWalk is an intelligent walking stick specially designed for visually disabled individuals to improve and ease navigation. iWalk uses ultrasonic and water sensors to detect obs...
