    Yeah, I suppose they could also be useful for translation when travelling someplace where you can’t read the language, provided it’s reasonably accurate and not too laggy?

    In terms of occasional use, I was thinking they could be good for loading speeches or music/lyrics when you’re up on a stage. But while that seems like it ought to be a fairly trivial feature to implement, as both a software developer and performer, I could see this being more challenging than you think to get a good experience out of that sort of app.

      For sure, I mean, we already have had google lens for almost a full decade. Phones already do real-time overlaid translation with nearly no lag through the camera. The glasses can literally just run that same app. Also does real time audio translation.

      And for the google ted talk, he was indeed using them as his teleprompter.
