Japan, a nation known for its technological innovations, is
setting out to host the most futuristic Olympics we have ever seen in 2020.
From robots directing visitors around the stadiums to self-driving cars
criss-crossing the streets of Tokyo, the country hopes to launch ambitious tech
ventures that will help boost local economy and leave lasting impressions.
One of the most automated nations in the world, Japan aims
to continue its reputation by launching an instant translation app for visitors
during the 2020 Olympics. Designed by Panasonic, the application is programmed so
that when one speaks into the mobile device, there audio will be translated
into a different language. Although
there are already an abundance of translation applications on the market, this
specific proposal boasts instantaneously translations and is intended for use
on a more complex level. It is anticipated to provide great assistance even in medical emergency situations. Moreover, the electronic giant hopes to add to the
software a function for visitors to scan Japanese signboards and translates
them on the spot. The software will be available for download on mobile devices
as well as on computers and phones at tourist dense spots like train stations
and tourist attractions.
Already setting the tone with Japanese prime minister’s
jaw-dropping entrance at Rio’s ending ceremony, it is highly anticipated what
Tokyo has in store for the 2020 Olympic games.
