Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION The system is a web-based assistive technology platform designed to enhance environmental awareness and communication for individuals with hearing, speech, and visual impairments. The system integrates advanced artificial intelligence techniques to support real-time interaction and safer navigation. The system uses a camera to capture hand gestures and processes them using MediaPipe landmark extraction. The system then applies a Ridge Classifier to convert recognized sign language gestures into text and speech output, enabling smoother communication for deaf and mute users. The system also supports visually impaired users by incorporating a YOLO-based object detection model. The system continuously analyzes the surrounding environment, identifies objects and obstacles, and provides audio feedback describing what is nearby. The system ensures that users receive timely information about their surroundings, helping them move more confidently and independently. The system follows a modular architecture that separates data processing, interaction control, and voice guidance components. The system structure allows responsive performance, low latency, and reliable operation across diverse environmental conditions. The system has been experimentally evaluated and demonstrates high recognition accuracy and consistent real-time functionality. The system improves user autonomy, reduces navigation risks, and strengthens social interaction opportunities. The system highlights the transformative potential of Al-driven accessibility solutions in creating inclusive, user- centered support technologies for everyday life.
