Smart Glasses is a connected camera wearable with bone-conduction audio feedback. MakersGround’s original project record credits the company with developing the device design, hardware and software in collaboration with the client.
The challenge
The project connected camera capture with spoken feedback through a wearable device and a mobile phone. The documented approach used the phone as the link between the glasses and an online image-recognition server.
MakersGround’s documented role
The original record explicitly describes MakersGround’s work on device design, hardware and software. The client is not named, and the record does not assign separate responsibilities for developing or operating the recognition server.
Documented system architecture
- A camera on the wearable captures footage. A bone conductor behind the ear provides audio output.
- The device connects to the user’s mobile app through Wi-Fi Direct.
- The app forwards image frames to an online recognition server, which returns detected names.
- The mobile app converts the returned information to speech and sends audio to the wearable for playback through the bone conductor.
Recognition is described as a server function. This record does not document on-device inference or an Edge AI implementation.
Development record and outcome limits
The July 2021 project page includes renderings of the wearable and electronics assembly. It describes the system’s operation but does not establish production volume, a current commercial offering or deployment results.
The original description reports recognition and end-to-end timings under a mobile-network assumption. No independent latency test, recognition-accuracy evaluation or military certification is supplied with the record.

Original project narrative — July 2021
The original description and media below are retained as a historical project record. “Military-grade” and timing statements are wording from that record; no certification or independently verified performance results are provided.
Wearable military-grade glasses that live stream facial data to an online server for analysis, a bone conductor then provides feedback to personnel. The face recognition server takes less than 2 seconds to process the image. MakersGround has worked with the client closely on developing the device’s design, hardware, and super-efficient software.
It consists of two main peripherals: a camera and a bone conductor to be placed behind the ear.
The device essentially connects to an app running on the user’s mobile device over WiFi-direct communication, The device is military-grade.
Once the connection is established, the device starts steaming live footage captured from the camera, to the mobile app, which in turn sends a frame frequently to the image recognition server, the server sends back the names of the detected faces to the app, the app converts them to audio using text-to-speech and send the audio back to the device.
Finally, the device plays the audio through the bone conductor to the user. The whole process takes 2-3 seconds (assuming the mobile phone is on a 4G network).
