Hi sir, The smart vision glasses specifically are a total waste of money. I talked to an eyeway vollunteer few months ago and she gave her honest feedback. They are of no use and not at all worth the price. Your research is right, you have to keep them connected to a phone with a shabby looking wire hanging around your kneck. The product is made for the sake of it. She also told me that it doesn't work properly with the fastest of internet. The language detection also doesn't work and you have to figure out what language a specific paper is in to set the glasses to that language. Without subsidiaries, the device costs 120000 rupees which is insane. A 1 year old IPhone will cost half the price and give you 80% of whatever the glasses claim except using it for mobility. All these startups are doing one mistake, according to me. They are not focussing to make the device totally wireless. Many operate still with an NGO mind-set.
