Very cool. Zack Friedman made something similar to wear on a hoody. It wasn't perfect, but it worked. https://youtu.be/mTK8dIBJIqg

#22Neat use of Gradio & Modal
FFMPEG is in there too, of course! Such a powerful tool.

#23How easy is it to translate word by word like that? I was under the impression that generally it is hard because different languages have different word orders. Is it not necessary to have the whole sentence before starting? (Or maybe Polish is just conveniently similar to English in word order?)

#24People complain that the magic of programming has been lost because all we do is stitch together APIs. They're oversimplying the work done, those people are cynical, this is amazing.
I think part of the magic is still lost, as we used to be very open source and free centric. These days it's all based on paid API calls.

agree with parent re: stitching together -- but also, someone's gotta program the API!

Someone is out there building and maintaining the APIs

Yes it's not the best way to translate, and for some languages it won't make much sense since the word order is different, as in English to Japanese translation.
To say nothing of all the myriad nuances of language like context changing word meaning and colloquial meanings of words.
In the game Cyberpunk, when doing the inline translations between english and japanese it is actually swapping fully translated sentences out, so not word for word, the effect just looks similar.

I really enjoy that aspect of the visuals because it's like a tiny reflection of the kernel of cyberpunk (the genre, not the game).
Here you have a technology that would work in a way totally different to the way people assume... But someone put the effort into making it look like it does something else because the skeuomorphic expectations of the human makes that inaccurate representation feel more correct.
That gap between the way tech works and the way our perceptions and psychology drive us to assume it works is very real, and it underpins piles of tech we use everyday, from the icons for making calls and hanging up to whether browsers blank the screen when navigating to another site.

#29I'm really hoping somebody comes along and puts this in a format that I can attach to my head inconspicuously.
Google Glass has already been rejected by the public; I imagine anything more inconspicuous would arouse even deeper suspicion.

Just render reality at an offset to compensate for the latency. Hehe.
