Word Lens – Augmented Reality Augments Your Language!
This has to go down as one of the most useful uses for an Augmented Reality iPhone app! Word Lens will actual translate signage from one language into another, on the fly, without a net connection! If it works even half as well as it does in the video below, it’s a must have for everyone next time they’re traveling abroad! I remember an incident on holiday in France involving a menu, lack of phrase book and sheep brains, where this app would have been really helpful!

REVIEW: Earbud headphones that actually stay in the ear!
I got a big parcel through the post last week. Not having ordered anything, i was kinda curious as to what it was, only to open it up to find… A severed ear!.. Well okay… a plastic severed ear with some earbud headphones wrapped around them. Now, i loath earbud headphones, for the over-riding reason that they never stay in your flippin ears!
However, these headphones (from Coosh), are your standard earbud with the added extra of a soft bit made out of a rubbery type material that wraps around the ear. Extra bits that hook over your ears aren’t a new invention, but all the previous versions i’ve tried do tend to really hurt after a while, but the material the Coosh headphone straps are made from didn’t seem to have that issue.
I have to say, i’m rather impressed. Not only are they extremely comfortable, but they stay in place pretty much whatever you do. I passed them round the office to a few people, and despite some rampant headbanging antics, they weren’t budging. The sound quality is pretty good, and the price is affordable too (starting at $19.99).
Don’t take my word for it about them staying in place, they’ve got a bunch of vids on youtube showing off people breakdancing whilst wearing them!
