Live translation is something I've been dreaming about since Google Glass. I just want translation, subtitles, turn by turn directions, and ad blocking.

  The idea of ad blocking with smart glasses kind of freaks me out. I'll take additive but I don't want subtractive reality where parts of the world are being hidden from me.

  Even Realities G1 glasses, which support Mentra, will do the first 2. The 3rd is partial, not quite turn by turn, but you can see a map around you with them on

  Translation, subtitles, turn by turn directions - use them today! Ad blocking - we'll need a research team and 5 years https://xkcd.com/1425/ https://xkcd.com/1425/
