Abstract	Assistive technologies in the medical industry have been on an ever increasing trend in the past few years. The past few years have seen some great medical innovations which are helping cure and prevent diseases which were earlier thought incurable. Despite such huge improvements, many of the engineering innovations are yet to be realized to its full potential in the medical industry. The field of assistive technologies for the visually impaired has been such a realm. Assistive technologies have been there for many years but the scope and application of these technologies have been very limited. The recent advances in the computer vision and inertial navigation systems can be easily employed in this field to give much more control to the visually impaired. The advent of low cost IMU's and GPS has led to huge advancements in these areas. This paper discusses how these assistive technologies can be employed to benefit some of the less privileged section of the society.
