Conventionally, most visually impaired persons(VIPs) are using white cane for travelling. For VIPs, there are two areas that need protection. These obstacles such as open window, signboard and etc. It’s very important to have protection for the head level. Therefore, a new intelligent travel aid device has been developed. The designed prototype imitate the spectacle used by the VIPs called i-SPEC, the future of vision that filled with smart sensors to detect obstacles by applying the non-contact approach. This product can be used for various types of VIPs with different warning types such as light for partially blind, audio, and vibration for a fully blind and deaf-blind person. As result, the i-SPEC is in TRL7. Finally, the i-SPEC is truly believed that can improve the mobility of the VIPs and increase the quality of life.
