Description

EchoPath is an innovative assistive technology solution created to empower visually impaired users by improving independent mobility. The device uses an Arduino Uno microcontroller connected to ultrasonic sensors that constantly scan the surrounding environment. When obstacles are detected within a set distance, EchoPath provides real-time alerts using audio cues or vibration feedback. This intuitive system helps users understand direction, proximity, and potential hazards without relying on sight. Designed with accessibility, simplicity, and safety in mind, EchoPath is lightweight, portable, and easy to operate. It can be integrated into wearable accessories, walking sticks, or mobility belts, making it versatile for daily use. The goal of EchoPath is not only to help users avoid obstacles but also to build confidence, independence, and freedom of movement.

Originally developed for an ideathon, EchoPath advanced to the Top 2000 innovations and has since transitioned into a market-ready product now being introduced through a kids’ innovation company. With future plans including Bluetooth support, a companion app, and advanced features like GPS navigation, EchoPath represents a meaningful step toward inclusive technology and accessible smart mobility.
