this is way better than aircraft carriers, nuclear weapons, attack drones. We should invent more things like this to improve our lives instead of destroying them.

[@depilator69]

Alas if we had no aircraft carriers to protect this freedom to innovate and improve our lives the evil people would just come and take everything from us. This is what Russia is doing in Ukraine right now. This is an imperfect world and freedom needs a shield.

[@user-ry3sk8lg8e]

This is the one that I really wanted to have. It will be also great if the smart glass will provide the hearing aid function to be connected to the ears.

[@tmofee]

Right now you can buy glasses with the bone audio transmission. It’s not perfect, but no big companies (yet) are messing with it. It won’t be super loud or not, but I can see people being able to have phone conversations and the like. With hearing an actual conversion and having the glasses talking at the same time though would be confusing

[@Khalid382]

[@brandonlanois1734]

When can I buy it?

[@user-li5mp8zg8s]

It's really amazing, but I have one concern. The glasses translate languages in real time. The languages described in this video such as English, Spanish and Chinese have so-called SVO-type structure. However, can we translate between languages which have different structures, like between English and Japanese? Well, Google can do develop such glasses, I think. I hope.

[@leamuller9724]

It should be based on google translate so everything possible there should be possible for the glasses as well

[@user-li5mp8zg8s]

@@leamuller9724 yeah, but there is a difficulty on real-time translation because their syntaxes are completely different. For example, if you wanna say" I wanna try on a suit I saw in a shop across the street from the hotel" in Japanese, you have to say: I the hotel from the street across a shop in I saw a suit on try wanna. The word order is almost reversed.

[@issan1566]

@@user-li5mp8zg8s I fear that this product might be released very unfinished with various technical bugs

[@Okatogurui]

Google translate is pretty bad for Japanese tbh, even with text. Voice detection will probably be about 50% accurate at best.

[@user-li5mp8zg8s]

@@Okatogurui Yes, especially translation between Japanese and Chinese is so bad that even basic words are translated incorrectly. And yes, voice detection is also bad. It might be because Japanese is too different from English.

[@adrianomarquesignaciopalom9488]

I think translation glasses are incredible, I don't use It yet, but I imagine can talk with different people around the world, of all cultures and languages, in fun travels or at work. On my job, usually we comunicante in Portuguese, but we have Mexico office operations. One time, I had to talk with another mexican job collegue there, I don't speak Spanish and he doesn't speak Portuguese, so, together, we decided to talk in English and It worked perfectly. But, if one of us don't speak English, in this situation the glasses could be a great idea. I'm a big thecnology enthusiastic, I don't have question about functionality of this glasses and the good things that this gives, certainly, I use this on my routine, but I would like to continuous my English classes, because, on my point of view, the learning is irrepleaceable.

what's with that 'he/him' ? We see who is talking, right?

[@blitzkreig4887]

[@user-vj9hb3gy6d]

It's called pronouns. The cisgender people who like to show their support to transgender people display their pronouns like that. If you are genuinely intrigued by that like I was, I have provided the answers. But if you think it's "woke", you're free to share your opinions here and feel free to not write your pronouns. Nobody will force you. Changes like this are inevitable. Progress will happen whether you like it or not. Peace! ✌🏼

[@denpark8887]

using transparent led screen is better than using a projector to project text on the glasses. save more battery 🔋

No that wouldnt work as you would need a nother lens to focus your eyes on the display just like in a vr headset while a projector can project the image with a clever optic disign right into your eye

You can imagine a deaf or hearing-impaired person wearing these glasses and not having to focus as much on lip-reading if those around them aren't using sign language. But how well will these glasses work in loud, busy environments? How distracting is it to have words popping up in front of your eyes when you're trying to look at something else? Lots of questions, but it isn't a rare use-case where a person could benefit from having these without everyone needing them.
