I want to design a shoe for the visually impaired and I plan to make obstacle sensors on the ends of this shoe and a speaker that tells where to go based on obstacles or a sensor with an audible alarm that detects obstacles. What do you think I can do? I also thought about it, could there be a Bluetooth headset that tells where to go with an obstacle sensor? Can you support you? OR WHAT MORE CAN I IMPROVE? OTHER THAN THESE, CAN YOU SUPPORT ME PLEASE?

Hi - you may be interested in these two projects on our site, which both use the same basic circuit that could be adapted to mount on shoes:

We have an extensive list of Arduino tutorials on our site:

and it is possible to connect to an Arduino via Bluetooth, but we do not have our own Bluetooth module tutorial, so you would need to find another one online if you wanted to use Bluetooth.
Hope that helps!
