iPhone app translates languages in real time

Okay this has nothing to do with EnSight.

But if you have an interest in international traveling, augmented reality, amazing software, and/or iphones then this might catch your fancy.

My colleague Jay showed this to me this morning. Its an app on the iPhone that you point the camera of the iphone at, it shows you the scene in front of you with the text in the scene translated to your language. We only tried the demo, which reverses the words, hello becomes olleh, but the rest of the scene is unchanged. This makes it very natural to walk around a museum in France, look at a menu in Spain, and see the contents in your native language.

Amazing. And its better than Google Goggles, because it does it in real time, on a phone, and doesn't require an internet connection.

Currently only works with Spanish to English, but more languages are surely on the way.

Watch the demo movie at the bottom.
