Speaking of pending speeches, Google also showed the prototype of a pair of smartphones. glasses rather minimalist in design which however include a whole series of high-level hardware components: for example, they will be able to show in real time on the lenses the translated transcription of what an interlocutor is saying, being very useful not only for breaking down language barriers, but also helping people with hearing problems.
