Abstract

The inability to perceive clearly with the eyes can affect the blind and visually impaired in doing daily activities, especially in determining direction and navigation. In order to provide a non-invasive device, a qibla compass is developed to help them to determine the desired direction. This paper presents the development of a low-cost and easy-to-handle device to detect the Qibla direction for muslims, especially the visually impaired. A magnetic compass is used as the main component to detect the correct angle of Qibla direction. Once detected, a buzzer will alert the user with continuous sound.
