My father is fully blind and has been having issues knowing which direction to walk when the bus/cab/uber drops him off near home.
I would like to find or build him a transmitter or similar device which can be permanently plugged in at his house, and then some type of portable receiver which he can carry with him. Ideally, the receiver would be easy to use and could just buzz or beep when its pointed towards home. (bonus points if it could have some alert when he's near the steps)
I'm pretty handy but not sure where to start on this. I've googled around for some commercially available solution but can only find GPS devices for people lost in the woods etc.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!
