Why I started this

I wanted glasses I could actually own.

Not rent. Not subscribe to. Not something that quietly uploads my life to a server I don't control.

Every pair of smart glasses on the market today asks you to trade privacy for convenience. Always-on cameras. Always-on mics. Always-on cloud. And when the battery dies, the entire product dies with it.

Plain Vision is the opposite. Offline AI that runs directly on the glasses. A battery you swap in seconds. Six modular boards you can repair or upgrade yourself. Open schematics, so you are never locked out of your own hardware.

No cloud. No subscription. No surveillance. Just glasses that work — and stay yours.

01 / On-device AI

Intelligence that never leaves the glasses.

Face recognition, object search, and basic scene understanding run entirely on the ESP32-S3. Nothing is uploaded. Nothing is stored in a cloud. Nothing is shared with anyone.

  • ESP-DL and TensorFlow Lite Micro
  • Works fully offline
  • Optional phone offload for heavy tasks
🔋
02 / Swappable battery

Carry a spare. Never plug in.

A 960 mAh lithium-polymer pack that replaces in seconds with a single JST-PH connector. Buy a second one. Keep it in your pocket. Keep going.

  • 24-cell 1S24P LiPo configuration
  • TP4056 charging with PTC fuse protection
  • Swap-in under ten seconds
🛠️
03 / Modular and repairable

Six boards. Open schematics. Yours forever.

Every module connects through standard 10-pin FFC ribbon cables. Break the camera, replace the camera. Want better audio, swap the audio board. No glue. No proprietary screws. No e-waste.

  • Published schematics for every board
  • Standard FFC connectors
  • Repair, upgrade, or extend it yourself
