Augmented reality and optical character recognition have just come into their own, beautifully intertwined into an instant translation app for the iPhone. It's a little bit like Pleco, but without the whole language learning stuff. We just gave it a spin, and while it's not quite as accurate as this video claims, it's still breathtaking to behold -- especially as it doesn't require an internet connection to do any lookup. Sadly, it only translates to and from English and Spanish for now. Still, next time I go to Spain, i'll be sure to take this app with me!
Spinning Hat are always on the look out for cool new stuff, comment any of your own amazing finds!
