sense of any emergency and uncertain situation to the user as appropriate. The integrated monitoring
system within the cane ensures that the user would reach their destination with the
re-routing capabilities of module path. The human-computer interface attached to this cane
helps blind and visually impaired people in their everyday lives.
A model is presented in Figure 1, used to base the “XploR” project.
Figure 1: The Proposed System Block Diagram
The proposed model in Figure1 elaborates the combined working of various modes together
through the communication mode. This device has embedded different modes such as Assistive
Interface for Navigation, Assistance Interface for Information, Assistance Interface for
Sound Settings and Interface for Facial Recognition. All these modes are specialised in their
respective controls and assistances for the users. The interface for facial recognition would
recognise the family and friends faces and check those pictures through the stored database
in the smart cane. As soon as it matches any records, the assistance interface for sounds would
be activated and those details would be informed to the user through the Bluetooth earpieces.
The navigation interface would help the user in navigating their journey’s along with the rerouting
capabilities if the cane detects any obstacle on its way.
An extra layer of “Optionalities Interface” has been proposed in this model to meet the
demands of internationalising entrepreneurship. The demand outcome from France was highly
in the favour of using facial recognition in contrast to Luxemburg users. The embedded interface
would have the options to facilitate the user to use or nor use the camera. Similarly, if
the users in Luxemburg, have demanded 4-meter obstacle detection instead of 10-meter, it
could be changed from the interface. This interface of technology is designed with a view to
internationalise this product throughout the world eliminating the technology adoption bar-
