We have all been to language classes. It’s a place we go to learn a new language. Now we have something called language glasses. It’s eyewear that will automatically translate foreign languages we read into the one we speak.

You are witnessing a new invention way before the general public. Japan’s biggest mobile carrier, NTT DoCoMo, has developed “Intelligent Glass” in preparation for the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics. The company wants to take full advantage of the tourism and publicity.

I have attached a YouTube video that explains the technology. It’s totally awesome. Picture this. You are in a foreign country. You can’t read street signs, menus, brochures, newspapers, and magazines. All you have to do is put on the DoCoMo glasses and the words will be translated right in front of your eyes.

Think about these language glasses when you see the new Sandra Bullock and George Clooney movie “Gravity.”

Rumors indicate that the DoCoMo technology could be licensed for other applications in the United States. If I hear of anything, I will let you know.
