Word Lens — Augmented Reality Translation

Posted by Soulskill on from the no-tengo-los-pantalones dept.

Barence writes "PC Pro has a review of a new augmented reality iPhone app that translates from Spanish to English on the fly. 'Point the camera at a decent-sized chunk of Spanish text and within a couple of seconds you'll get a rough and ready translation,' said the reviewer. 'And most magnificently of all, the translation is overlaid, at the correct size, on the original object.' The team behind the project has produced a video of Word Lens in action."

    .... I'll never be an iphone guy.

    It's hard to get the meaning over the internet. Here's an example...

    First guy sees another guy that attracts him. "So, are you an iPhone guy?", he asks with a sly grin.

    Second guy, "Why yes I am. And I have a Hummer. Want a ride?"

    "Sure!"

    That's how a lot of homsexual pickups go these days. Or you'll see gay guys drive around in Hummers with their iPhones prominently displayed. The Hummer is a physical display that you give "hummers", i.e. blowjobs. The possession of the iPhone is sefl explaining.
