Glasses which 'hear' a foreign language and automatically translate what's being said, before beaming it onto the lens, have been revealed.

NEC say their Tele Scouter glasses will let a wearer see exactly what people around them are saying, even in other languages.

It features a microphone and camera which record foreign languages before converting it to text and running it through a translation computer worn on the wrist.

The translation is them beamed onto a tiny retinal display for the wearer to read what was just said - the entire process happens in a fraction of a second.

Does this mean Brits will just start reading slower and louder?
A spokesperson for NEC said: "Tele Scouter is a real visual images, and type retinal scanning display glasses to view images of different layers do not exist.

"The server and wireless communications center was established to manage the content displayed on the display wearable devices do, and other small cameras, we are comprised of audio equipment such as microphones and earphones."
