Word Lens performs language translation into real-time. The user simply points the camera towards the text and the app does an OCR transform in real time. From the demo the technology seems highly impressive and a must have app when travelling to foreign countries (it performs translations both ways so you can translate from English too). Interestingly you don’t even a network/internet connection to use it. Seems like it’ll only be a matter of time before innovative use cases of this app go viral.
