In Tokyo, Fujitsu has revealed Oton Glass, it is hoping can eliminate—or at least ease—the difficulties of life without full sight. One button reads the text aloud in Japanese and the other in English. The sound is transmitted to an earpiece.
Oton Glass is a wearable smart pair of glasses that can read out written words and translate foreign text into English. It is being marketed towards the visually impaired who face difficulty reading.
Inside the Fujitsu demonstration hall was a pair of glasses fitted with a camera on the ridge above the nose. Oton Glass is capable of translating a foreign language (in this instance Japanese) into English, which is then read out to the wearer.
