This futuristic translation device is now helping foreigners navigate Tokyo's metro

A Japanese railway company has begun testing an automated translation display that would help non-Japanese speaking commuters navigate Tokyo’s railway system. What it does: Developed by printing company Toppan, the VoiceBiz UCDisplay is a 40-centimeter-high and 70-centimeter-wide semi-transparent window that translates communication between commuters and station staff in real time. Where it’s located: Seibu Railway, one of Japan’s major railroad companies, installed a VoiceBiz at its Seibu-Shinjuku station on July 10 for a three-month trial period.
