The continuous usage of screens from a short distance led to dizziness and nearsightedness, SafeGuard Vision Alert completely prevents people from viewing screens closer than the recommended distance. Upon detecting the presence of an individual, the device emits a distinct auditory signal, such as a buzzer, to alert the person and prevent them from inadvertently exposing their eyes to potential harm.
The advancement in technology plays a major role in the presence of computer screens in almost every sector although the usage may vary but most of us are bound to use laptops to make a living so sitting in front of screen for hours is necessary but what we tend to forget is the distance with which we are viewing the screen. Often after a long day of sitting in front of screen you feel a burning in your eyes or blurry vision even headaches and dizziness these could be the causes of viewing the screen from a close distance
The SafeGuard Vision Alert is used to take care of your eyesight. It is built to first and foremost make people aware how often they view their screen from a close distance and to stop people from harming their eyesight.

The protection of human eyes from potential hazards is of utmost importance in various environments, ranging from industrial workplaces to everyday settings. Eye injuries can have severe consequences, including vision impairment or loss. To address this critical issue, we introduce SafeGuard Vision Alert device. This innovative device utilizes advanced sensor technology to detect the presence of individuals within a predefined proximity threshold and promptly alerts them to potential eye hazards.
The purpose of this device is to prevent eye injuries by providing timely warnings when individuals approach a hazardous proximity. The device employs ultrasonic sensors that continuously monitor the surrounding environment. Upon detecting an individual within 20 inches of the device, it triggers an auditory alert, such as a distinct buzzer sound, ensuring that the person is immediately aware of the potential eye hazard. This real-time detection and alert mechanism enable individuals to adjust their position, avoiding any inadvertent eye exposure to potentially harmful substances or equipment.
SafeGuard Vision Alert is designed with usability and practicality in mind. Its compact size, easy to use behavior, and portability make it suitable for a wide range of applications. Whether it is used in laboratories, manufacturing facilities, construction sites, medical facilities, households, educational institutions, or recreational areas, the device serves as a reliable and effective tool in promoting eye safety.
The SafeGuard Vision Alert will play a buzzer and lead a red color LED light whenever a human tries to cross the appropriate distance of 20inches from the screen, it is equipped with a ultrasonic sensor which will measures the distance of an object using ultrasonic sound waves. If the distance is less than 20inches it will send a signal to Arduino. Arduino will further send the inputs to Buzzer and LED. This will automatically prevent people from viewing the screen from a close distance which will prevent long run damage of eyes and short-term health issues.
The eye safety device comprises a compact housing incorporating a ultrasonic sensors, which continuously monitor the surrounding environment. When a person enters the defined safety zone, the sensors promptly detect their presence and trigger the auditory alert system. The proximity threshold of 20 inches has been chosen to ensure optimal eye protection while allowing for practical usage in various settings.
An ultrasonic sensor uses a transducer to send and receive ultrasonic pulses that relay back information about an object's proximity. After receiving input from ultrasonic sensor, Arduino will check that whether the distance between screen and person is less than 12inches or not. If not then it will further send signals to LED and buzzer. This will eventually force the user to view screens from a safe distance
BEST METHOD OF WORKING
An ultrasonic sensor (201) operates by emitting high-frequency sound waves (ultrasonic waves) and measuring the time it takes for the waves to bounce back after hitting an object(human). The sensor consists of a transmitter that emits ultrasonic waves and a receiver that detects the reflected waves. By calculating the time delay between emission and reception, the sensor determines the distance of the person from the screen. Ultrasonic sensor starts continuously monitoring the surrounding environment.
The sensors measure the distance between the device and any individuals in its vicinity. The sensor data is processed to determine if any individual is within the predefined proximity threshold of 20 inches. If the sensor data indicates the presence of an individual within the proximity threshold, the device proceeds to the next step. Otherwise, it continues monitoring for any changes in the environment.
Arduino (204) is a microcontroller platform that allows us to connect sensors and output devices (buzzer (209) and LED (206)). It processes the input and controls the output based on the logic that distance must be more than 20inches. Arduino will communicate with buzzer (209) and LED (206) according to the input signals by sensor and it is powered by battery (202). Upon detecting the presence of an individual within the proximity threshold, the device triggers the auditory alert system. The system emits a distinct and recognizable sound, such as a buzzer, to alert the individual to the potential eye hazard.
The auditory alert continues for a predetermined duration to ensure the individual has ample time to react and adjust their position to a safe distance from the eye hazard. After the alert duration, the device resets and returns to the initial monitoring state, ready to detect any further presence within the proximity threshold.
The fig.1 shows the workflow of how signals will be sent to the cloud server through antennas (107) and further to the applications/android applications about the system and its usage. Hence a record of the system is kept safe.
Fig 2 showed the internal working of the device that consist of ultrasonic sensor (201), Arduino (204), buzzer (209), LED (206), battery (202), antenna (107) and WIFI (203). It shows how they relate to each other and how they are working together.
Fig 1 and Fig 2 showcased the physical working of SafeGuard Vision Alert. The users viewing the screen from a safe distance will not have any issues but if someone comes in the proximity of the range or crosses the threshold the device will start blowing the buzzer and LED light as signal or warning.
