Lol. No no. It's this thing you put on your tongue and the glasses are on your head. The glasses are the camera and it gets transferred to a thing on your tongue. One girl was able to interpret conducting motions for her choir and a sighted person who was completely blind folded and put in a room with no sound and no lights was able to catch a flying object. The tests have been being conducted since 2004 or so. I can't wait until this machine comes out as i want to get one. You still need to use your cane though but i'm fine with that.
