BBC article<\/a> actually made me tilt my head a little and sigh, \u201cwow,\u201d under my breath (that hasn’t happened in a while). A company has just announced the invention of a pair of glasses that, when paired with a microphone and translation software, will project real-time translations into your eyes. There is also a model combined with a headset,\u00a0because just what the world needs is more\u00a0confused telemarketers wandering about to hear the translated conversations you’re having.<\/p>\nThe Tele Scouter, was originally designed to aid as an international business tool for sales calls. The spectacles will first go on sale November of 2010 in Japan.<\/p>\n

This contraption gives a new meaning to the phrase, “I see what you’re saying.” However, I can\u2019t help but think that these will give even more travelers an excuse not to learn the language, or anything else for that matter,\u00a0when\u00a0they travel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
