Officials say that using the camera in front of the glasses, you can also realize the functions of fast “photographing” and “photographing translation”. Using the built-in microphone and the self-developed algorithm of the machine translation team of Xiaomi AI Lab, the function of “real-time voice translation” can also be realized. In addition, the company claims that the glass can convert words into text in real-time and translate them. If it is as efficient as Xiaomi claims, then it may be relevant for users with hearing impairment.
