TOKYO –
It’s the latest in eyewear for the linguistically challenged: Japanese computer-maker 
NEC has created a pair of glasses that double as a translator.
The Tele Scouter integrates spectacle frames with a personal mini-computer and a head-mounted display unit, allowing two or more people with no language in common to hold a conversation.
Conversations are, with the press of a button, recorded and sent to a remote server where they are analyzed and translated.
The server then sends the translation to the receiving user who can read the words in their own language on the display unit.
