The integration of intelligent wearable aids is revolutionizing accessibility solutions for people with visual and hearing impairments. Advanced CNN algorithms allow these devices to accurately interpret the real-time environment. Ultrasonic cameras improve mobility and safety by detecting obstacles and providing important visual information to users. For people with visual impairments, this system alerts people to the presence and location of obstacles, allowing them to navigate safely. At the same time, the vibration detection mechanism provides tactile feedback for people with hearing impairments, ensuring inclusive accessibility. These devices analyze visual input and provide intuitive feedback, allowing users to independently and safely navigate their environments. Continuous learning capabilities allow adaptation to different environments and ensure effectiveness in different scenarios. This innovative approach represents a major advance in improving the quality of life for people with disabilities. The seamless integration of AI, CNN algorithms, and sensory technology highlights the transformative potential of assistive technology to promote independence and inclusion
