Dear MEL Topic Readers,
A Japanese robotics startup has invented a smart mask that translates into eight languages
So many things have had to make a 180-degree turn since the Covid-19 pandemic began. Tourism, events, mass entertainment, and restaurants can generate very little if they stick to the old way. Many of them have been trying to seek alternative revenue opportunities, such as virtual tours, online events, and food delivery. But air travel is one of the hardest hits businesses and airports are nearly empty, especially for international flights. So, a Japanese startup that had been developing a multi-language guidance robot to be used at Haneda, Japan’s busiest airport, had no choice but to adapt the technology in some other way and came up with a smart mask that dictates, amplifies the voice, and translates speech into eight different languages, between Japanese and Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Indonesian, English, Spanish, and French. They also used crowdfunding to raise the necessary funds to mass-produce the smart mask and develop translation software for the international market.
When it rains, you need an umbrella unless you can stay where you are until the rain stops.
Enjoy reading the article and learn about human ingenuity to deal with the new norm.
