Abstract: Sight is one of the most important human senses among all the human senses present, and assumes a fundamental work in understanding the surrounding environment. Visually impaired people find it difficult to move outside without supervision. Therefore, this document is an attempt to develop an object detection system for humans with reduced vision. It takes a few to do that segments such as a camera, an application, and an audio device. We have designed and implemented an Android application that will use the phone’s camera to detect the objects around the visually impaired user. Additionally, the application will also inform the user about the direction of the object and the distance of the user from the object. The application will inform the visually impaired user about the object name, direction, and distance of the object using an audio device such as headphones or the phone’s speaker. This system will help the visually impaired people by informing them about the various objects around them and help them in their orientation around independently. So, our goal is to present a visual substitution system which will help the vision disabled people in their daily lives by informing them about the various objects around them using an object detection system.
