Now that doesn't sound too difficult for someone like me. I'm always told to stop swinging my head. Apparently those born blind have a tendency to do that unusually more than sightlings. Even as I grow older I haven't fully overcome this. Of course to be serious this discussion assumes doing it in a systematic way for getting the full field of vision.

Hi all,

I had a chance to try the device on a recent visit to Bangalore.

Yes, improvements are in the works. However, the device is useful as it stands. The reading feature does work well but I was more interested in the walking assistant. It is extremely handy if you are going sighted guide because it does detect obstacles and gives you a distance reading. Moreover, you can scan for what is around you and not rely totally on the assistant.

Yes, because the device uses AI, it as of this writing is unable to name all obstacles. However, it did detect staircases which was my primary use case.

One thing with this device and with any other solution using a head mounted camera.

You will need to practice moving your head to scan your surroundings because the camera has a narrow field of view. This is something to get used to. It is sort of similar to swinging your cane.

Not worth buying for Rs.30K.
It is very good for reading purpose and not other features like walking around, identifying steps and identifying people; it says near to the truth like a man with 25 years looking happy and so on.

They are trying to improve services after getting suggestions from users.

Dear Aishwarya,


Do you have any information regarding individually buying the smart vision glasses? I live in U.P and unable to attend the event but am interested to try these glasses.


If others on the list have any inputs about these glasses; if they are worth buying, please comment. Do they come any closer to the EnVision glasses given the point that these cost 10th of the latter.


With best regards,
Satguru Rathi.
