Leion Hey2 Brings First AR Glasses Built for Translation to CES 2026 - Yanko Design

"Cross-language conversations create a familiar kind of friction. You hold a phone over menus, miss half a sentence while an app catches up, or watch a partner speak fast in a meeting while your translation lags behind. Even people who travel or work globally still juggle apps, hand-held translators, and guesswork just to keep up with what is being said in the room, which pulls attention away from the actual conversation."

"Leion Hey2 is translation that lives where your eyes already are, in a pair of glasses that quietly turns speech into subtitles without asking you to look down or pass a device back and forth. The glasses were built for translation first, not as an afterthought on top of entertainment or social features, and they are meant to last through full days of meetings or classes instead of dying halfway through, when you need them most."

"Leion Hey2 is a pair of professional AR translation glasses from LLVision, a company that has spent more than a decade deploying AR and AI in industrial and public-sector settings. Hey2 is not trying to be an all-in-one headset; it is engineered from the ground up for real-time translation and captioning, supporting more than 100 languages and dialects with bidirectional translation and latency under 500 ms in typical conditions, plus 6-8 hours of continuous translation on a single charge."

Leion Hey2 is an AR translation glasses system that renders speech as subtitled text in the wearer’s field of view. The glasses prioritize translation features, offering bidirectional real-time captioning across more than 100 languages and dialects with typical latency under 500 ms. A single charge enables six to eight hours of continuous translation for all-day meetings or classes. The frame weighs 49 g and uses magnesium-lithium alloy, adjustable titanium nose pads, and a stepless spring hinge to feel like normal eyewear. A camera-free, microphone-only design follows GDPR-aligned privacy principles and uses a secure Microsoft Azure cloud infrastructure.
