Abstract: The present invention relates to a Human-AI assisted navigation system for visually impaired individuals, termed NAVIS – A Blind Man's View. The system combines artificial intelligence with human intelligence to provide reliable, real-time environmental awareness and navigation support. A wearable device equipped with cameras, sensors, and positioning modules captures surrounding information, which is analyzed using AI algorithms for object detection, obstacle identification, path planning, and scene understanding. The processed information is conveyed to the user through audio and haptic feedback. In scenarios involving uncertainty, complex environments, or emergency situations, the system seamlessly connects to a remote human assistant who can interpret the surroundings and provide additional guidance. The Human-AI collaborative framework enhances decision-making accuracy, reduces navigation risks, and improves user confidence and independence. The system further supports cloud-based learning to continuously improve performance based on user interactions and environmental data. The invention offers a scalable, intelligent, and accessible mobility solution for visually impaired individuals in both indoor and outdoor environments.
