CHENGDU, (Xinhua) -- In Chengdu, a major tech hub in southwest China, patrol officer Wu Han used a pair of smart glasses to help a confused foreign tourist find his way within just 30 seconds.
Wu explained that his smart glasses, which tether off a mobile phone, can help with real-time translation. "If both users wear a pair, we can speak in our own languages and still understand each other. It breaks the language barrier completely," said Wu.
These smart glasses, developed by Sichuan INMO Technology Co., Ltd. (INMO), use diffraction waveguide imaging technology and are equipped with Chinese AI models such as DeepSeek and ByteDance's Doubao. Currently, the glasses support 40 languages and 90 accents.
Smart glasses from INMO are continuously upgrading, and now feature functions like photography, gaming and virtual meetings. They have already been exported to 19 countries and regions, including Japan and Russia.
