Im deaf

My doctor signed me up for google glass study

​

google gave me free glasses that close caption everything i need to hear and do not caption anything i dont. I went to china and the glasses translated all the signs for me as well as the people talking to me in Chinese in real time

​

Ooo awesome! Good to see its being revived, could you seem them being useful in day to day life or just as an enhancement tool for the impaired? The translation part sounds like it could be really useful! Does it overlay the translation similar to how Google translate works?

That’s amazing! I’m really excited for their new earbuds that will supposedly translate languages in real time
