Hi Saurav,
You ask good questions. The website indeed is sparse in information and so far, the company have done a stunningly poor job of communicating with its core customers. The trouble with most e-commerce platforms is that they control the customer. You do not get direct access to the customer. When you list something on amazon, you as the seller do not know who the customer who bought your product is. Amazon have that information. Moreover, these platforms take a cut of your revenue. Most adaptive technology is not available on e-commerce platforms. Try buying a smart cane for instance. As far as I know, you still need to contact a specialist provider irrespective of where you are in the world. There is no gainsaying the fact that the entire adaptive technology ecosystem is broken. The majority of entrepreneurs do not take any user feedback. However, you do have companies like Orbit Research who do come up with new solutions like their full-page graphics displays. And on the matter of AI, if you have access to a device running IOS, try the new be my eyes beta that incorporates chat gpt. This will not help you in walking around but for static image analysis, it is a powerful tool to have handy.

I don't understand certain things about these companies and NGOs. Why do they do not make proper websites listing complete details and information about their product. What is this old-fashioned way of calling and seeking information. Also, why can't these companies start making their products available on common E-commerce websites like Amazon. If you look at other countries, it is so easy to buy most products, even for the VI. I do not want to attack anyone or any company but its quite a broken system.

These glasses like any other solutions on the market use models and ai. They do not know everything and cannot identify every obstacle that they may encounter. You can make larger models but then the processing speed slows down. Let us not confuse availability with the presence of branches. I cannot comment on if there is someone in Pune who can demonstrate the glasses but I do not see any obstacles in the SHG team shipping them to you. I cannot comment on the price. The last I heard, these were Rs. 30000 but SHG are the right people to answer this question.

Are you sure about all India availability, because no one seems to know where to reach out if you are in pune. Bangalore and Hydrabad branches seem to be the most active. I primarily want them for object recognition and scene description as moving a phone around is not possible and handy all the time. I would want some in-house and in-campus moving around made easier and moving on road with a cane. Also, do you know their cost.

Their smart glasses as of this writing are the only game in town at a reasonable price point. Your next option are the envision glasses. Be warned, they are over 3 times the price and do virtually the same thing as the SHG glasses. I suspect the SHG glasses are better but I cannot say for sure because I have not tried the Envision glasses. The most interesting part of the SHG glasses is their walking mode which is under further development. I have tested these glasses at their Bangalore office and they appear to be promising. What are your use cases?

If yes, how to buy them?and what is the cost? If anyone has tried them, what is the functionality and features they offer and how good are they. Where can you get a demo, especially in Pune Regards, Saurav Hegde -- Disclaimer: 1.
