At present the currency recognition for visually impaired and blind people has become a vital topic for the researchers in the different applications. The money exchange is an important part of our daily life activities. But it becomes very difficult for visually impaired and blind people to recognize the currency values in the financial exchanges and they easily betrayed by the other people. Accordingly, there seems an urgent requirement to scheme a framework that is useful in recognizing paper money notes accurately. There is a huge area for currency differential detection and it has evolved over many years. The paper explores currency identification and provides a comprehensive overview of the current literature on techniques for identifying currency notes, encouraging the survey effort to provide an effective system for blind and visually impaired people

Public attitudes toward blindness are shaped by limited contacts with visually impaired people and unrealistic portrayals of blind people in the media. These attitudes hamper the integration of blind and visually impaired persons in society. Professionals in the field need ‘to work together to develop national and local public education programs to change stereotyped thinking. Proactive efforts that include a variety of methods can begin to humanize blindness and hence can lead to greater opportunities for fuller participation in society.

Blind and visually impaired people in rural Asia are largely unreached by modern rehabilitative information, nor are their indigenous skills and experience adequately formulated and shared. The use of many media in communication strategies has led to the reconceptualization of rehabilitation in information terms which offers better prospects of self-help for several million blind people.

Do So

Nowadays the principles of universal design are used practically in every sphere of design, but there is one particular direction of packaging design where those principles and rules are much needed. Typically, packaging includes different types of visual information, both graphic and text, such as list of ingredients, contained portions and illustrations. But this information is not available to all categories of the population, especially those who are blind and visually impaired. While Braille is only used on packaging of important drugs and drugs used by blind and visually impaired people it can and should be used to label food and other categories of goods. Conducted by a informational portal survey concluded that without help or escort visually impaired and blind people are not always able to navigate stores and understand what they are buying, especially when a lot of food of the same category use same shaped packaging. While it is possible to label packaging in Braille not every manufacturer decides to do so, partly to avoid designing and redesigning problems. Different design works show that it is possible to find a compromise, using blocks of tactile text, but also using various embossed symbols, drawings and ornaments to help blind people. It shows that it is possible to incorporate symbols in packaging design, using auxiliary elements as decoration, or tactile text itself as a design element. Braille font can perform as not only main informational function, but also artistic, as it is used as an element of decoration.

Impaired People

Millions of people in this world can't understand environment because they are blind or visually impaired. They also have navigation difficulties which leads to social awkwardness. They can use some other way to deal with their life and daily routines. It is very difficult for them to find something in unknown environment. Blind and visually impaired people face many difficulties in conversation because they can't decide whether the person is talking to them or someone else. Computer vision-based technologies have increased so much in this domain. Deep convolutional neural network has developed very fast in recent years. It is very helpful to use computer vision-based techniques to help the visually impaired. In this chapter, hearing is used to understand the world. Both sight sense and hearing have the same similarity: both visual object and audio can be localized. Many people don't realise that we are capable of identifying location of the source of sound by just hearing it.

Cultural Constructions

Changing ideas on the nature of and relationship between the senses in nineteenth-century Europe constructed blindness as a disability in often complex ways. The loss or absence of sight was disabling in this period, given vision’s celebrated status, and visually impaired people faced particular social and educational challenges as well as cultural stereotyping as poor, pitiable and intellectually impaired. However, the experience of blind people also came to challenge received ideas that the visual was the privileged mode of accessing information about the world, and contributed to an increasingly complex understanding of the tactile sense. In this chapter, we consider how changing theories of the senses helped shape competing narratives of identity for visually impaired people in the nineteenth century, opening up new possibilities for the embodied experience of blind people by impressing their sensory ability, rather than lack thereof. We focus on a theme that held particular social and cultural interest in nineteenth-century accounts of blindness: travel and geography.

Impaired User

Background: According to the WHO report, around 4.07% of the world's population is visually impaired. About 90% of the visually impaired users live in the lower economic strata. In the fast moving technology, most of the invention misses the need of these people. Mainly the technologies were designed for mainstream people; visually impaired people always find an inability to access it. This inability arises primarily for reasons such as cost, for example, Perkins Brailler costs 80-248 dollars for the simple purpose of Braille input. Another major reason is the hassle of carrying the big equipment. Objective: Keeping all this in mind and making technology as their best friends, MAGIC-1 has been designed. The goal is to provide a solution in terms of an application, which helps the visually impaired user in their daily life activities. Method: The proposed solution assists visually impaired users through smart phone technology. If visually impaired users ever wished to have a touched guide into a smart phone, MAGIC-1 has the solution that consolidates all the important features in their daily activities. Results: The performance of the solution as a whole and its individual features in terms of usability, utility and other metrics, etc. has been tested with sample visually impaired users. Moreover, their performances in term of Errors per Word and Words per Minute have been observed. Conclusion: MAGIC-I, the proposed solution works as an assistant of visually impaired users to overcome their daily struggles and stay more connected to the world. A visually impaired user can communicate via their mobile devices with features like eyes free texting using braille, voice calling etc. They can easily take help in an emergency situation with the options of SOS emergency calling and video assistance.
