“…Sonification in combination with IoT sensors can also prove essential in devising safety equipment for blind people. Saquib et al [16] proposed a smart IoT device called "BlinDar", which uses ultrasonic sensors and global positioning systems (GPS) to ease navigation for blind people. GPS can also allow blind personnel to share their location with others in real time.…”

A Comparative Analysis of Modeling and Predicting Perceived and Induced Emotions in Sonification

Sonification is the utilization of sounds to convey information about data or events. There are two types of emotions associated with sounds: (1) “perceived” emotions, in which listeners recognize the emotions expressed by the sound, and (2) “induced” emotions, in which listeners feel emotions induced by the sound. Although listeners may widely agree on the perceived emotion for a given sound, they often do not agree about the induced emotion of a given sound, so it is difficult to model induced emotions. This paper describes the development of several machine and deep learning models that predict the perceived and induced emotions associated with certain sounds, and it analyzes and compares the accuracy of those predictions. The results revealed that models built for predicting perceived emotions are more accurate than ones built for predicting induced emotions. However, the gap in predictive power between such models can be narrowed substantially through the optimization of the machine and deep learning models. This research has several applications in automated configurations of hardware devices and their integration with software components in the context of the Internet of Things, for which security is of utmost importance.

“…GPS module assured the updated location to keep track of the blind person. In paper [6,7], the authors worked on a project to develop an Electrical Travelling Aid (ETA) named BliDar. This project was enriched with several types of sensors, including Ultrasonic sensor, MQ2 gas sensor, Vibrator sensor, a GPS module that helps to find a blind person location, and an ESP8266 Wi-Fi module which ensures IoT based application.…”

“…The proposed model was able to alert the authorized person of the blind person about the identification through the mechanism of IoT using an android application. In a study of papers [5][6][7][8][9], the authors had only proposed the architectural design of IoT based blind assistant but no home automation terminology had been presented. The authors of the paper [10] proposed a solution to develop home automation strategies and also assure security in a smart home.…”

Bengali is the seventh most spoken language, and 300 million people around the world speak in Bengali. The smart home is responsible for the digitization of modern society. This research reflects an Internet of Things (IoT) based smart solution, especially for the people who have a visual impairment along with the smart home. The proposed methodology presents a developed android application which will act as a smart assistant. The smart assistant is responsible for communicating with a blind person, browsing thoughts, and sharing ideas using the Bengali language. The proposed solution also focuses on the embodiment of IoT based blind stick. This article further assures a structural foundation of a smart home where blind persons and regular users will be able to control all the home appliances using Bengali voice command. This paper also illustrates experimental data analysis, such as transmission time calculation for GSM/GPRS and Bluetooth module, empirical coverage area calculation, a system usability scale (SUS), and data analysis of blind stick. We have found a SUS score of 84%. However, the proposed system will be beneficial and handy.

Mobility for people with visual impairments is a challenge in placeswhere there is no knowledge of obstacles. Research carried out inthis work identified that people with visual impairment have difficultieswith obstacles located above 1 meter. Thus, an approach isproposed to notify the visually impaired person through sound andvibration about such obstacles. The proposed solution is available onthe ThingSpeak platform and components such as microcontrollers(ESP8266 NodeMcu ESP-12), sensors, buzzer and GPS were usedin its development. Results confirmed that the proposed approachcorrectly identified the existence of obstacles with a height equalto or greater than 1 (one) meter in the way of visually impairedpeople.
