Anyone who's traveled abroad knows how frustrating and limiting language barriers can be. But what if you could break those barriers with a simple app? 

That’s where a revolutionary augmented reality app called Navi, which is built for Apple Vision Pro, comes in. 

It allows you to translate conversations from a foreign language in real-time. It also floats subtitles and translations next to people in the "real" world so you can understand anyone, anywhere, anytime.
