Hi,
I’m new to AR glasses (so far only used VR), but I recently came across an article about the upcoming SuperHexa Vision and was intrigued by its translation feature, particularly for travel. While the SuperHexa Vision seems a bit bulky, are there any other AR glasses available with integrated Google Translate or similar text-to-display capabilities? Voice translation would be a great bonus, but it’s not essential.
Google is developing their own prototype, and they’ve showcased it in a video. It’s likely they’ll integrate their Google Lens software into it. Whether they’ll successfully launch a hardware product remains uncertain, but it seems probable it will become available eventually.
The prototype shown in the video doesn’t appear to demonstrate actual functionality; it seems more like a video or artist’s depiction typical of many AR trailers. They haven’t yet found a way to accurately display their current progress.
You could simply utilize the translation capabilities of a cell phone and view it through AR glasses such as the NuEyes Pro3e or Nreal Air. I own a pair of the Pro3e, and they work wonderfully.
The Nreal Air appears to lack an internal battery, requiring constant USB connection. Regarding the NuEyes Pro3, how does the smartphone need to be connected? Is internet access alone sufficient for translating text captured by the glasses, or does the smartphone need to film the text as well? Also, at over 800€ currently, it’s a bit pricey for me anyway.
I recommend the Nreal Light. Its glasses are lightweight and offer mixed reality experiences with a wide range of applications, including translation.
Try Vuzix Blade glasses. You can use apps like Google Translate on a paired smartphone, and the translations can be displayed on the glasses.
