リアルタイムAR翻訳 ワード・レンズ がNewsyで紹介 - Introducing Word Lens - #AR
現時点では特定の言語でしか使用出来ないが、直ぐに主要言語を網羅するだろう。携帯端末でかざせば、不慣れな言語の翻訳がリアルタイムで行われる。旅先で困ることは少なくなるだろうし、リアルなコミュニケーションもスムースに行えるようになる。
文字を翻訳した後、自分の好みのボーカロイドが喋ったり、自分の声帯をデジタルレコーディングし、喋らせるというサービスが直ぐに思い浮かぶ。軽量HMDや、ARコンタクトレンズとの融合が行われれば、ハンズフリーで情報を収集出来るようになる。軽量HMDは日本でも幾つかの会社が発表しているので、技術的な問題は無い。あとは、情報インフラの整備、ハードウェアの低価格化が実施されるかどうかだ。

App reviewers are calling it the first augmented reality app for iPhone that actually works.
Word Lens calls itself the dictionary of the future. It instantly translates printed words right before your eyes. Just point and shoot -- and while you're at it -- book that flight to Spain. (Video from Quest Visual)
The app itself is free -- but if you want it to actually translate anything that's about $5 per language pack. And it's only offered in English and Spanish.
Small setbacks. Still - anchors at Portland's KOIN and CNN are gushing.
"It's really incredible."
"It's so cool."
"That's awesome." (KOIN)
"It's magic."
"That's brilliant. What a great travel app." (CNN)
And a CNET review is just as full of high praise.
"This isn't some proof-of-concept video; this is how the app actually works. ... It's remarkable, especially considering that the app replaces the very text you see, in exactly the same size and orientation as you see it. It really is like wielding some magical language-translating lens. ... This may just be the coolest thing I've seen my iPhone do all year."
