Abstract: The present invention provides a multi-component, Al-integrated assistive mobility system designed to 5 enhance the spatial awareness, environmental perception, and navigation capabilities of visually impaired individuals. The system comprises three interconnected modules: a head-mounted vision capture unit, and an Al processing and navigation cane, all communicating via Bluetooth, GSM, and GPS networks. The headmounted vision capture unit functions as the primary visual perception module, equipped with an RGB camera and ESP32 microcontroller for high-fidelity image acquisition, preprocessing, and wireless 10 transmission. The system further supports fall detection, emergency communication, and geolocation tracking via the wearable belt unit. By integrating computer vision, LLM-based reasoning, and multimodal sensing, the invention transforms assistive navigation into an interactive, intelligent, and context-aware experience—offering visually impaired users enhanced mobility, safety, and independence in diverse real- world environments.
