The future of translation? Ki-Power in AR glasses: Myvu Imiki vs. Ray-Ban Meta Smart & Co.
In the world of portable technologies, AI-based AR glasses play an increasingly important role with live translation functions. They not only offer innovative solutions for overcoming language in real time, but could also change the way we communicate globally in the long term. Companies such as Meta, Rokid, Myvu and Solos are driving the development of this revolutionary technology.
The functionality of AR glasses with real-time translation
The technology behind these smart glasses is based on a combination of hardware and advanced AI-based software.
Language acquisition
With the help of integrated microphones, the glasses spoken in the vicinity of the user record. These microphones can often record conversations within a radius of up to five meters. Various algorithms are used to filter background noise and concentrate on the relevant language.
Processing and translation
The recorded audio data is forwarded to powerful processors or cloud-based AI models that use neuronal networks to analyze the language in real time and translate it into the desired language. Some systems, such as that of Google, send the data for processing to external servers, while other models, such as the Myvu Imiki Ar Glasses, rely on integrated AI processors.
Display of the translation
The translated language is shown directly in the user's field of vision. This is done through various display technologies:
- WaveGuide technology: The display is integrated into the glass of the glasses, which seamlessly turns the text into the real environment.
- Bird Bath Optics: A screen above the lens projects the display onto the glasses.
Alternatively, some models output the translation via built -in loudspeakers or ear pieces.
Available models and their special features
Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses
The Ray-Ban Smart Glasses developed by Meta offer real-time translations between English, Spanish, French and Italian. The translations are issued either via the integrated speakers or the meta app. A clear advantage of this glasses is your seamless integration into the meta-platform, which makes it ideal for existing meta-users.
Rokid Glasses
This glasses developed in collaboration with Bolon uses the Tongyi Qianwen voice model from Alibaba and offers an AR-based translation function. The biggest advantage of the Rokid Glasses is the discrete display of the translation in the glasses, so that interlocutors do not notice that the user receives a translation.
Myvu Imiki Ar Glasses
The Myvu Imiki Ar Glasses support real-time translations in up to 13 languages, including English, French, Spanish, Vietnamese, Japanese and Russian. The translations are shown directly in the field of vision, which makes them ideal for travelers and language learning.
A unique selling point of this glasses is the integrated AI assistant "Aicy", which can answer a variety of inquiries using Large Language Model (LLM). The glasses also offer additional functions such as navigation, teleprompter and text-to-speech for hearing impaired.
Massing:
Solos Airgo Vision
The Solos Airgo Vision integrates advanced AI models such as GPT-4, Google Gemini and Claude and offers comprehensive translation options for spoken language and text. The glasses are particularly suitable for professional contexts because it also offers functions such as real-time documentation and notes.
Advantages and possible uses
The integration of AI-based translation functions in AR glasses offers numerous advantages:
- International communication: Users can easily have conversations in different languages, which is particularly advantageous when traveling or in international business meetings.
- Barrier -free communication: People with hearing impairments can benefit from the automatic conversion of spoken language into text.
- Support for learning to speak: Due to the constant visualization of translations, users can learn new languages more easily.
- Additional smart functions: Many of these glasses also offer navigation, object recognition or even the option of recognizing and translating sign language.
Challenges and future prospects
Despite the impressive progress, there are still challenges that manufacturers have to master:
Accuracy of the translations
AI models improve continuously, but the perfection of the translations remains a challenge. Idioms, dialects and cultural nuances are difficult to grasp and can influence the quality of the translation.
Accounting time and comfort
Many AR glasses have a limited battery life of just a few hours. An improvement in battery performance and an easier, ergonomic design would increase the acceptance of these devices in everyday life.
Data protection and privacy
Since many models record and process conversations in real time, there are concerns about data protection. Manufacturers have to develop mechanisms to ensure that sensitive information remains protected.
AI-based AR glasses: The revolution of the live translation now begins
AI-supported AR glasses with live translation functions stand on the threshold of a new era of digital communication. They offer enormous advantages in international contexts and could change the way people interact with each other in the long term. With continuous technological improvements, these glasses could soon become an everyday companion that overcomes language barriers and brings the world a little closer together.
