Abstract: Visual impairments, as well as other physical and cognitive disabilities, imply a certain degree of dependency in ordinary task performance, such as shopping in a retail store. Ambient assisted living (AAL) technologies have tried to encourage the independence of impaired or elderly people. IN addition to home assistance, daily activities such as shopping are of interest in any AAL scenario that attempts to solve open problems such as navigation or unassisted indications. Visually impaired people might have problems identifying the object with which they want to interact. Traditionally, assistance from a third person is essential in such cases, which deprives the user of independence. By using IOT technology, have tried to encourage the independence of impaired. When the person stands in front of a shelf the RFID detector will detect the tag, play the information about the item and also give navigation assistance to him enabling him to shop independently.
