Many people with serious visual impairments can walk independently, using a wide range of tools and techniques such as long cane, guide dog and others. "The blind guidance tool", is a tool with feature advanced; it will help people who are visual impairments to walk safely, confidently, and independently. This tool can also help blind people to detect obstacles that may face them while walking; such as things, walls, stairs and others.

A stick is attached to the device with switches in its hand to make the movement of the tool more flexible, moreover it will help them to direct the tool in the wanted direction. Audio element is existed in the tool to give blind information about the way through headphone, so it is a "speaking tool", and in this way the blind can dispense asking people about the wanted direction. It will tell them if there is a path or not, besides that and it will alarm if there is an obstacle.

On the other hand, Blind Guidance Tool contains several proximity sensors to measure the distances. Also the tool will contain a microcontroller for control of all the components of the tool.
