I travel and don't speak the language
Glasses that show a live translation in the lens, and where they still miss words.

In stores now

The Ray-Ban Display shows live captions and translations of the person you're talking to as text in the lens.
- Meta Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2)
The display-free Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) speaks the translation in your ear; Engadget used it to follow a walking tour abroad.
Coming or still in demos
Nothing announced beyond what's in stores.
Why it's hard: Accuracy in noisy places and for languages added after the reviews.
