So, you often miss big business negotiations just because you cannot reach across to the clients in their mother tongue? Well, that may be a predicament now, but wouldn’t be when in about a year’s time, you walk into the conference room with a pair of cool eyeglasses and a small computer attached to your waist. Yes, this is all what NEC’s new technique of interpreting foreign languages into mother tongues and then projecting the said translation directly onto a person’s retina needs.
We recently saw Brother Industries’ Retinal Imaging Display prototype, thought it was exciting, here we have NEC working on a retinal imaging display (a unique language translator) of its own - now, how would you take this? The NEC technology incorporates a microphone and a script projector onto the display (eyeglasses), which are used for a real time translation device. Here the projector displays language as expressions, when two people are talking, and translates them into kind of subtitles on the retina, allowing the user to communicate fluently in the other person’s language.
