Word Lens: Language Translator iPhone-style


From QuestVisual

Well, this is original: instant translation just pointing your iPhone to the words, whether they are on a sign or page. Imagine having this technology projected on your car’s windshield as you drive in a foreign land, or projected onto your glasses! It’s only word for word translation for now, i.e. don’t trust it or you might end up making horrible mistakes, like ordering the wrong stuff on a menu, being the least of them. However, I have my doubts about this technology, especially in its current form. Signs and letters are rarely printed nicely and do not occupy the same real estate when translated. If you are interested, wait for some real-world reviews first.
