Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) LIDAR technology is often used to detect surrounding environment around users. For visually impaired people, a system that can efficiently recognize their surrounding environment is required. In the previous research, acoustic signals are generated based on HRTF (Head Related Transfer Function) for positioning, and users must use headphones to listen. However, HTRF is not universal for everyone, and if users wear headphones, they will not be able to hear environmental sounds, resulting in dangerous. In this paper, we develop an environment recognition system for visually impaired people, in which distance measurement by LIDAR placed on user's head and real-time acoustic signal conversion are implemented by using a prototype of originally developed circuit board. The PWM and/or FSK sound signals can be output from 12 open speakers around the user's head, depending on the corresponding direction and measured distance.
