007-style gadget to aid soldiers
A wrist mounted translation device that could help save lives today, can turn into a tourist’s or businessman’s travel aid tomorrow. It could also be used by police in border areas or urban areas that have a specific 2nd language.
An Iraqi immigrant’s wristwatch-based translation device - designed to help British soldiers overcome language barriers while on patrol - could be in production by the end of the year, it has been announced.
The voice recognition-based technology would aid troops and civilians in high-risk and “hot zone” situations by translating buzz phrases such as “don’t shoot”, “stay back” and “help will be here soon”.
The technology - the idea of an Iraqi-born student who fled to the UK - generated international publicity when it was first shown at the University of Derby’s Arts, Design and Technology Degree Show earlier this year.
