Abstract The research paper has been written to help visually impaired persons. As it was observed that while commuting there were many barriers and obstacles which they need to bear. Individually, they face significant risks while moving from one location to another. It is really difficult for them to locate the hurdle instantly in their path, as they are unaware of the barriers in front of them. Based on the previous researches it was seen that visually impaired persons are more prone to accidents, Unintentional injury, mishaps, injuries, and crashes during their journey (Legood et al., 2002; Felson at al. 1989; Arfken et al., 1994; Ivers et al., 1998; Lord, 2006; Glynn at el., 1992; Roberts & Roberts, 1995).

Till now, visually impaired persons are using white cane; which help them scan for obstacles and orientation marks. The cane will also inform the passerby to go slow and take appropriate steps to help them, while they move or walk. In this paper, the authors have tried to build an electronically aided shoe for the help and provide an ease for visually impaired persons. The proposed framework for the e-shoes will identify objects or impediments up to a specific distance and deliver an audio or vibrator alarm message to the receiver. This will help blind persons to recognize objects on their path instantly through an alarm and will prevent any accidents
