GuideAlarm is an innovative alarm system designed to assist visually impaired individuals during emergencies. It combines sounds and tactile maps to guide people to the nearest exit. By following a sequence of sounds from high to low frequency, individuals can effectively navigate towards safety.

By integrating audible alarms and tactile maps, GuideAlarm provides a comprehensive solution that enables visually impaired people to locate exits and evacuate during emergencies.
