It's worn like regular eyeglasses, combined with a small screen that displays real-time language translations.
"The smart glasses function like 'subtitles for the world .' When chatting with someone speaking a different language, the glasses will provide a text-based translation of the ongoing conversation," said Max Spear, Google's Chief Product Officer.
Google's Pixel Buds also feature translation, but the translation-enabled smart glasses have some distinct advantages, according to Digitaltrends .
For example, seeing text on a screen inside a pair of glasses means you can maintain eye contact. You can follow along without pressing buttons or enduring long, awkward silences while the machine translates what's being said. Text is also less intrusive than hearing another voice.
Thanks to the smart glasses, no one can hear the translation, so users don't feel awkward when interacting with people who speak a different language.
"Anyone who has traveled abroad, or spent time in communities where different languages are spoken, will immediately understand how beneficial this type of technology can be," Max Spear emphasized.
Google Translate on phones forces users to type, making it difficult to use voice commands through the app due to noisy external environments. Google Translate is quite interesting, but it's not perfect and can sometimes be quite awkward.
"Google's smart glasses will completely change that situation," the Google product manager asserted.
AR smart glasses are an incredible testament to Google's rapid advancements in the speed and accuracy of translation and transcription technology.

"I use Google Translate on various devices daily, often translating Japanese, Korean, and Chinese into English. This is very difficult to do. Moreover, to use them effectively in real conversations requires knowledge of how the languages work, otherwise you'll make embarrassing mistakes. Hearing and seeing how Google is innovating and improving translation technology means my world will continue to expand even further, and I think it will gradually make learning those languages easier as well," - Digitaltrends editor Andy Boxall commented.
