Mini Project

Illusion v1.0

Introduction

Illusion: Mobile Application for Differently Abled was developed as part of the Mini Project course under Kerala Technological University. The inspiration behind taking up this particular topic was after researching about the problems faced by the blind people in our country. Our aim was to build a mobile application for a social cause. Hence, the idea of Illusion was formulated.

Product

The product is a culmination of various ideas. It is an all-in-one app that targets the differently-abled individuals. The primary users of Illusion are categorised into three:

1. Visually-impaired users
2. Speechless users
3. Hearing-impaired users

How to use

Home-page acts as the common page from which the user directs the control to any other tab. The home-page takes the user to four different tabs namely: See, Listen, Speak and Settings.

See tab helps in detecting objects at a particular distance and warn the user about it. This feature mainly helps the blind users. It allows them to detect objects within a certain parameter. There is also a voice assistant feature that is kept ON by default when the user opens the application for the first time. It works on the basis of a few commands to navigate between the tabs.

Listen tab is used to convert English speech to text. The conversion works for English language and thus English words or sounds are converted to text.

Speak tab is used for text to speech conversion. The English language is used for conversation. This feature mainly targets to help the mute population.
