I’m simultaneously fascinated and frustrated with the rate at which a child can learn new languages. As we grow older, our ability to easily learn other languages dramatically decreases. Rosetta Stone has developed a system where you learn a foreign language based on word/picture associations. The idea is that when you see the spanish word “manzana” you immediately think of the object, not the english spelling “apple.”
These fantasized language learning glasses would couple a heads-up-display (HUD) with direction speakers to create an augmented reality. For example, as you walk through the grocery store, the glasses recognize objects, show the associated word in your language of choice on the HUD, and a voice pronounces it for you. It is Rosetta Stone 24×7.
