Word Lens
Word Lens is a real time translator that uses this augmenting technology. The traditional and typical online translators show translated words when the user type a word in it or a sentence. Word Lens will capture the picture from the external world using your smartphone camera and translate it in real time. So if you are going to an Indian restaurant with menu in Hindi and you do not know Hindi, don’t worry, just take out your phone, open word lens and here the menu is in your mother tongue. Enjoy the food…

Augment
As the word suggests augment, extend the imaginations of user. Let me give an example. You want to buy a refrigerator to your house and you are confused that whether it will fit in the house. So just click on the app and it will show how your future refrigerator looks like if it installed in your house. You can also transport this conceptual refrigerator anywhere in the world using augment. Try not to buy everything, ok?
