In Japan a augmented new
reality glass is developed that can translate menus in real time. The new
invention was unveiled at a gadget fair in Japan and promised to distribute
among the visitors of 2020 Tokyo Olympics. NTT Docomo was demonstrating its new
development where cameras and computers combine together to give the user a
whole different view of what they are seeing.
The new device features an
overlay the unknown language of menus into the viewers preferred language also
with the signs and menus in an understandable form. The new device will be a
best companion for travellers in places where the foreign language menus are
not common.
While displaying the
new gadget at CEATEC in Japan Docomo commented to reporters that "Character
recognition technology enables instant language translation for users
travelling abroad and reading restaurant menus and other documents." Developers
are almost finished their work to make an application which can turn a flat
surface into a touchscreen, with a finger ring relaying positioning information
to the device that lets wearers "touch" tags that only they can see, and
even to perform an Internet search.
The new device also
can be used to identify people using facial recognition feature and can search
for people and watch their profile on a smartphone directory.
