Interactive glasses with built-in translator based on Raspberry Pi

In many films, we see devices that are automatic translators that allow us to understand the speakers of the most exotic dialects. So far it has not reached such a level of automatic translation, despite all the efforts of the developers. But curious projects appear, and one of such projects is interactive glasses, which display the translation of what was said by the interlocutor right before the listener's eyes.

This project, which is even more interesting, is a system of stereoscopic glasses, a pair of microphones, a smartphone, cables, and two Raspberry Pi computers. The system works quite well, and a demonstration of the work of such a translator is given below. By the way, the project was created after Google introduced its own "smart glasses» Google Glass.

Points-translators in this project allowed to understand each other two interlocutors, one of whom spoke in Spanish, the other in English. The system allows you to work with 37 languages, using the Microsoft API. The glasses are completely transparent, so the field of view is not closed.



The system is called Vuzix 1200 Star. Points connect to the Raspberry Pi via S-Video. A wireless microphone is also used, allowing work with a wide range of devices. The video with glasses sits just one person, but the developer claims that the second pair of glasses could be used by the second interlocutor. But the Spanish-speaking girl understood English perfectly, so she did not need glasses.
