Unblinder AI is an AI-powered assistive navigation system designed to enhance the independence, mobility, and safety of visually impaired individuals. The project combines Computer Vision, Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing, voice interaction, weather awareness, and navigation technologies into a single intelligent assistant that acts as the user's eyes. Unlike conventional mobility aids such as white canes or guide dogs, VisionGuide AI provides real-time environmental understanding and contextual guidance, allowing users to navigate both familiar and unfamiliar environments with greater confidence The system is built around a pair of smart glasses equipped with a lightweight camera that continuously captures the user's surroundings from a natural first-person perspective. The live video feed is transmitted to a web application, where advanced AI models process the information in real time. Using a state-of-the-art YOLO (You Only Look Once) object detection model, the system identifies nearby objects such as pedestrians, vehicles, bicycles, staircases, doors, traffic signs, poles, benches, obstacles, road crossings, and other important environmental elements. Instead of simply listing detected objects, VisionGuide AI understands their relative positions and generates meaningful navigation instructions that are spoken to the user through voice output Beyond obstacle avoidance, VisionGuide AI also provides complete destination-based navigation. A visually impaired user can simply speak a destination, such as and the system will calculate an appropriate route using mapping services. The system is designed with scalability in mind and can be extended with several advanced capabilities in the future
