In recent years, the number of Chinese-speaking tourists visiting Japan have increased exponentially. As such, there have been many tourists who don't speak the language watching the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters pro baseball team without fully understanding all of the happenings of the game. Epson created the Glass Sheet and equipped tourists with its [Moverio BT-200 Smart Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innovative-eyewear) so that information could be broadcast on the screen and translated in real-time in order to give accurate and informative highlights. As well as impacting the way this group of tourists sees a game, this high-tech experience is being called "baseball of the future." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Real-time Translation:** The development of real-time translation technology opens up opportunities to enhance the experience for tourists in various industries, such as travel and hospitality. - **Smart Glasses:** The integration of smart glasses in entertainment venues, like stadiums, presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the sports and technology industries. - **Multilingual Broadcasting:** The use of multilingual broadcasting systems can revolutionize the way language barriers are overcome in sectors like sports, events, and media. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Travel:** The travel industry can incorporate real-time translation technology to facilitate communication between tourists and locals, improving the overall travel experience. - **Hospitality:** Smart glasses can be implemented in hotels and resorts to provide guests with interactive and informative experiences, enhancing customer satisfaction. - **Sports:** Multilingual broadcasting systems in sports stadiums can attract international audiences, fostering a more inclusive and globally connected sports industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Large-Screen Sports Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-game-big-screen.md) - [Assistive Sports Entertainment Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touch2see.md) - [Phygital Baseball Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/base-on-board-20.md) - [Digital Scoreboard Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scoreboardtv.md) - [Sports-Focused Vision Enhancement Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vision-enhancement-system.md) - [AR-Enabled Sports Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engo-2.md) - [Screen-Projecting AR Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/screenprojecting-ar-glasses.md) - [Chromatic E-Ink Marketing Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharp-eposters.md) - [Immersive Sports Fan Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sports-fan-communities.md)
