Abstract
Currently, people who may be blind or visually impaired are guided by either a walking stick (white cane) or by a trained service dog to be as a productive, navigating system. For the visually impaired/blind, the Ultrasonic Carry Alert Navigation set would be a new, advanced method for them to that would benefit their remote movement and eliminate their dangers as well as increase their safety. The importance of the set is for more accessibility in any environment through ultrasonic waves which signals to the sunglasses, cane, and wristband. The 3 components would stimulate protection and awareness for the person and can be managed by the user and doctor, if necessary. With the U. C. A. N. stick, the mobility and access will be 100% user and eco‐friendly. Despite certain vision limitations the user may have, they can do endless travels with ultrasonic waves to enhance their navigation.
