Abstract
A support navigation system, for the visually challenged to maneuver through the stationary environment - The bat suit – the name directly derived from the actual technique of bats, similar to the ones used in NDT’s and SONAR’s. This provides an enhancement to the existing typhlotic equipments by providing a 360˚ analysis of the data, for navigation. Consisting of a headband with a sensor and a complete suit from neck to toe with 6 sensors spaced to cover all possible dimensions with the least possible interference, to convert the analog ultrasonic wave to an electric pulse with an ADC, subsequently processed by a microprocessor, pre-programmed to convert it into an audio output, similar to the one used in GPS, which is delivered to the user.
