Word Lens — Augmented Reality Translation

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."

    Sorry, the iPhone is the easiest platform to monetize right now. It'll almost always be the first choice for apps.

    Being an android user is a lot like being a Mac user waiting for Windows games back in the day. It sucks, but that's how it is.
