I am not sure how is it an answer to google glass !! It navigates and counts the number of steps and roughly the number of calories the wearer burns. Now if we consider it as an answer to google glass then is it an answer to smart watch and astronaut's suits(I consider them wearables as they are expensive and loaded with tech).
End of the day, title's a bit too misleading I would say but none the less a good invention and I might even go back home and buy it.

Possibly click bait. I think India's Answer to Wearable Computing would have been a little more fitting.

Its not an apt title but the comparision is probably because it does most of the tasks Google Glass can perform right now.
From the video at lechal.com and article it seems you one can save / share certain location or place and get directions ( shoe/sole vibrates for navigation ). Of course like any other wearable tech it is synced with your smartphone.
