  Abstract

Approximately 9.45% of all individuals with disabilities in South Korea are visually impaired, and on average, 106 fires occur daily in Korea. However, there are currently no efficient fire evacuation methods specifically desig ned for visually impaired individuals. In this paper, we propose the design of a smart cane for fire evacuation that includes features such as obstacle detection and warning, assistance request to caregivers, real-time location sharing, and smoke detection. By excluding complex functions, this design aims to ensure high usability for actual users while maintaining an efficient price. To objectively verify the effectiveness of the proposed smart cane, a survey was conducted with adults to obtain objective usability results regarding the smart cane.
