Abstract
The most critical challenge in creating a smart stick is cost management while ensuring durability, advanced features, and user-friendliness. Advanced technologies and materials, like GPS, automatic lighting, obstacle detection, and durable materials like stainless steel to avoid technical and safety issues, can make production costs go up a lot. This means that many people, especially those with lower incomes, are unable to afford to buy the product. Also, advanced device features make people less comfortable using them, especially older people or people who are not used to technology. This challenge gives an opportunity to discover a way to develop a smart stick that is affordable, durable, and user-friendly. In order for everyone to be able to afford and use the smart stick, the material needs to be carefully picked so that advanced technologies can be included. To make the design light, portable, safe, and anti-rust, other materials besides stainless steel, like carbon fiber or aluminum, have been figured out. The TruePath app’s interface is also made easy to use, practical demonstrations are provided, and Braille handbooks are available to help users learn smart sticks on their own and make their lives better.
