A common issue faced by people who are visually impaired is the difficulty of navigating and
traveling through unfamiliar outdoor and indoor environments. The current state-of-the-art
solutions to this problem consist of very expensive guide dogs and simple canes for obstacle
detection. The team sought to develop a LIDAR-based navigation system with binaural auditory
feedback that would allow the blind to navigate in unfamiliar environments and perform basic
obstacle avoidance. Though basic auditory feedback relating to environmental obstacles was
developed, further work is necessary to fine-tune the system and to determine the practicality of
the device.
