Software selection

The software for features 1 and 2

The devices carry the camera and the lens, but the software does the work for sharing the live view and translating. Here is the choice for those two features, which app runs on the glasses the client owns, and the pick.

The decision in one look

No single app cleanly does both jobs for the worker

VSight is the closest one-app answer, but its translation is expert-side and one-way. So the real plan is a primary remote-assist app plus a phone translator. Three shapes:

One app, mostly

VSight Remote does video, AR notes, and built-in JP/TH/EN translation on the M400, Navigator 520, and Cimo. Translation is expert-side and one-way.

Add a phone translator

For true two-way Japanese, Thai, and English, run Gemini Live (free) on the worker's phone next to whatever video app you pick.

The cheap demo path

For the demo, a plain video app (Zoom or Teams, native on the glasses) plus Gemini Live also covers both features at almost no software cost.

What we recommend

The pick for each feature

For the demo

VSight Remote + Gemini Live

Show both features in one demo: VSight does see-what-I-see with AR notes and built-in translation on a Cimo or M400, and Gemini Live on the phone shows true two-way JP/TH/EN next to it. Use the free trials.

For the rollout

VSight (or TeamViewer) + Gemini Live

Standardise on VSight for the worker glasses (TeamViewer Frontline if you want the bigger brand or 3D AR), and Gemini Live on the phone for two-way translation. Use native Teams or Zoom for the Vuzix LX1.

The honest catch: VSight's built-in translation is one-way and only the expert side can turn it on, output is audio plus a transcript, not captions on the worker's lens. TeamViewer has no Thai voice translation in its docs. So plan on a phone translator (Gemini Live) for genuine two-way Japanese, Thai, and English. Pricing for VSight and TeamViewer is quote-only, so confirm cost and the exact language flow in a paid trial.
