Abstract

This paper describes the evaluation of the power consumption for the developed full direction electronic spectacles, there are two types of experiments one that has been conducted the first is always on mode and the other that has a switching mode for four vibrators. The charging system by using the energy harvesting method to be used in the wearable device for the visually impaired person. An obstacle was placed in front of the device to evaluate the power consumption of the simplified design of electronic spectacles. Consequently, the charging system could increase the quality of life of the visually impaired person. In the previous study, the developed wearable devices are bulky and heavy which is weighing about 590 g not including the conventional battery. It cannot be fit as spectacle and easy to fall when the user wearing the electronic spectacle. Thus, some solutions to improve the bulky spectacle have been made to reduce the weight of the wearable device. The current solution is by replacing the type of battery with a power bank but it still not suitable for the visually impaired person to use as the power bank cannot be easily connected by the visually impaired person since it uses the USB connector to charge it with the power adapter. It difficult for the visually impaired person to connect to the power bank and the battery needs to change every time it depleted. For the solution to the current problem, I would like to propose a wireless charging system using energy harvesting from surrounding to design a wireless docking system that desired to eliminate the usage of the conventional battery. The proposed charging system will help to ease the visually impaired person to charge the spectacle easily.
