Shaped like a pair of eyeglasses without the lenses(镜片), the computer-assisted Tele Scouter would a picture-forming device to present almost real-time translations directly onto the retina（视网膜）. The text, provided through voice recognition and programs, would effectively provide movie-like “subtitles” (字幕)during a conversation between two people the glasses.
“You can keep the flowing,” NEC market development official Takayuki Omino told reporters at Tokyo exposition the device was on display. “This could also be used for talks with secret information,” says Omino, that there would be no need for translators.
Each user’s words would be by microphone, translated, and be instantly for conversation partners in visual texts and as audio delivered through headphones.
Users can still see their conversation partner’s face because the text is onto only part of the retina—the first time such technology is used in a commercial product, according to NEC.
The company plans to put the Tele Scouter in Japan in November next year, at the beginning without the translation mode.
