Abstract: This research paper focuses on creating and using smart sneakers for people who are blind or visually impaired. Mobility and safety are significantly hampered by visual impairment, which also makes it challenging to navigate and perceive the surroundings. A potential option to help people with visual impairments overcome these difficulties is the incorporation of smart technology into footwear. The design ideas, features, and possible advantages of smart trainers for the blind are examined in this research. The underlying technologies that allow these trainers to deliver real-time information and improve situational awareness are also covered, including sensors, navigation systems, and haptic feedback methods. The final section of the research discusses the future directions and prospective effects of smart sneakers on the lives of people with visual impairments.
