Japan Developed A New Glass to Translate Menus into Other Languages

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.
