A Google Glass successor was teased at the company’s I/O 2022 event earlier this week, and it takes augmented reality to the next level. Google Maps Immersive View would be perfect for these glasses, creating a new frontier of computing, according to Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai. Even more impressive is the real-time language translation feature, which allows users to spend time focusing on what matters in the real world and our lives.
Translating languages is not the hard part, but rather accurately decoding the grammar. Unfortunately, Google does not mention if these AR glasses are able to translate multiple languages simultaneously should they be mixed mid-sentence. The translations are transcribed in real-time directly on the lenses in front of the person wearing the glasses. There’s no word yet on pricing or availability.

These AR capabilities are already useful on phones and the magic will really come alive when you can use them in the real world without the technology getting in the way. That potential is what gets us most excited about AR: the ability to spend time focusing on what matters in the real world, in our real lives. Because the real world is pretty amazing,” said Sundar Pichai, Google CEO.
