Google’s Intelligent Eyewear is great at translation, but I wouldn’t use it to have a conversation
Getting the most out of smart glasses translation tools means knowing their limitations.
Google is finally putting effort into smart glasses, and this week, the first Intelligent Eyewear line becomes available for pre-order in collaboration with Gentle Monster, Warby Parker, and Samsung. To justify purchasing these frames, Google needs to justify their $400 or more price tag for the holiday season. One notable feature being highlighted is the translation tool, which aims to overcome language barriers, but some aspects work better than others.
During my hands-on experience with the smart glasses at Gentle Monster’s New York pop-up, I found that the integration worked remarkably well for certain tasks.
