_aABSTRACT: STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM: Vision is essential for daily activities, but factors such as aging or excessive strain can cause visual impairement, lowering quality of life. This study aims to help people with visual disabilities, particularly with navigation and mobility. Despite advancements, current assistive technologies are inaccessible and inefficient. As a result, the research focuses on creating Arduino-based visual impairement eyewear to address these issues. It aims to improve accessibility and effectiveness while respecting individual preferences. Specifically, the research paper aimes to answer the following questions: 1. Develop an integrated navigation and detection system that achieves an accurate and precise output in detecting obstacles, objects, people and providing real-time feedback to visually impaired individuals. 2. Create a wearable device that weighs comfortably and is ergonomic for extended use. 3. Design an intuitive and accessible user interface with audio feedback that can be comprehended by visually impaired individuals. 4. Guarantee that the device allows users to use their mobility aids with minimal interference and is adjustable to accommodate various sizes. 5. Ensure the system's reliability by conducting rigorous testing in indoor settings and controlled outdoor environments. 6. Measure and quantity the increase in user's independence. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY: To test, evaluate, discover system flaws, and improve it, the researchers used quantitative testing, and engineering design process. The researchers used preconceptual surveys and interviews to get feedback from people with visual impairements specifically totally blind, partially blind and individual high severe eye conditions in order to clarify the prototype's fundamental concept. Respondents were selected through convenient and purposive sampling, using a non-probability approach. Convenience sampling will ensure selection based on availability, considering legal age and engagement in work or study and purposive sampling will target visually impaired individuals specifically. A total of twenty respondents will be targeted for the study, with each organization contributing five participants, taling ten. Additionally, ten visually impaired individuals will participate in testing the device's efficiency and usability. However, if the availability of the respondents in vargue the researchers plan to maximize all the respondents that are currently available, SUMMARY OF FINDINGS: The development and testing of MUKLAT, has proved to be useful in navigation and mobility through various tests. The results showed that MUKLAT has an estimated run time of 3.35 hours to 7.04 hours. Almost half of the respondents collided a few times, but this is due to familiarity of using the device. Detection has an overall high confidence level (accuracy), accurate positioning and output feedback and a considerable level of haptic response. From the final interview with thirteen (13) respondents, data was analysed using weighted averages and the Likert scale. Performance questions aimed for 'Strongly Agree' except Q2, which had room for improvement. Notably, Q1 and Q6 scored 'Strongly Agree', indicating outstanding accuracy and satisfaction. Q4 and Q5 received 'Agree', highlighting significant effectiveness Q3's 'Neutral' suggested sufficient but improvable sound feedback, while Q2's 'Disagree' indicated room for enhancement. Functional questions saw Q1 as 'Strongly Agree', showing remarkable obstacle detection, with others scoring 'Agree'. User experience questions targeted 'Strongly Agree' except Q4, Q1, Q5, and Q6 were 'Strongly Agree', indicating comfort Q2's 'Agree' suggested appropriate size and weight, while Q3's 'Neutral' implied understandable audio feedback but room for improvement, Q4's 'Disagree' noted perceived complexity. CONCLUSION: The development and testing of MUKLAT marks a significant advancement in addressing the challenges encountered by visually impaired individuals in their mobility within their surroundings, with regards to their independence, MUKLAT, a smart-assistive eyewear solution, has emerged through the integration of innovative technologies and user-centered design, offering real-time assistance, and enhancing user's mobility. The primary objective of the researchers is to provide visually impaired individuals with a safe and supportive environment to achieve autonomy in their daily lives. Pursuing this objective, the researchers have achieved several milestones: they have developed a navigation and detection system that provides real-time data, incorporated auditory and tactile cues to enhance spatial awareness, designed a customizable device to user preferences without interfering with other devices, conducted thorough testing to ensure reliability and usability in controlled environments, and ultimately bolstered users mobility in their surroundings. This initiative underscores the potential of Arduino-based visual impairement eyewear to significantly improve the lives of visually impaired individuals, emphasizing their autonomy and well-being through innovative assistive technology. RECOMMENDATION: The recommendations below, noted in the research's findings and conclusions, aim to guide future enhancements and interactions of the device, bolstering its validity and usability: . Improve feedback from micro speakers to address static and volume issues, enhancing user understanding and device reliability. . Ensure the device is waterproof for convenient use by visually impaired individuals during the rainy season. . Add additional auditory prompts to guide users to safe pathways, improving navigation. . Design a better enclosure to ensure durability without compromising functionality, comfort, or aesthetics. . Use a more advanced microcontroller for complex functions while maintaining a comfortable design. . Enhance vibration feedback for better user perception and optimized functionality. . Implement multilingual auditory prompts to improve user understanding and usability. . Test the device in real scenarios, prioritizing user safety and security . Ensure usability in low-light environments or at night. . Improve the power source system, considering wireless battery or solar panel integration, and add a battery life warning feature, . Include features to interact with traffic signs and lights and improve processing for fast-moving objects to ensure safe mobility. These recommendations strive to enhance the device's functionality, reliability, security, comfort, and user experience, addressing the study's limitations. By heeding these suggestions, future researchers can contribute to assisting navigation aids, prioritizing user safety, convenience, and inclusivity in technological development.
