There's no doubt that new emerging technologes are changing the way things are being done. Years ago one would never believe translation can just be at the finger tips, but with the Ivy Guide, a device that fits over pens and pencils, scans words and projects its translation directly onto the document, translation is just made easy.

.
How does it work:

The scanner tip adjusts to any writing tool with a flexible sponge, and while pressing the translating button, readers can underline text. The word is then projected in the chosen language, and cleared by pressing again. The scanner connects to a USB for easy charging.

Developed by three designers Shi Jian, Sun Jiahao and Li Ke. According to them the Ivy Guide will keep users in the habit of making marks and also create a continuous reading experience.

Though the device is currently in its concept stage, its creators hope to do away with the experience of heavy dictionaries or bulkier electronics.

Amazing isn't it? Check out the video for more.
