In this ‘work in progress’ paper we set out the case for how smartglasses can be used to augment and improve live Simultaneous Interpreting (SI). We do this through reviewing the relevant literature and identifying the current challenges faced by professional interpreters, such as cognitive load, memory constraints and session dynamics. Finally, we describe our experimental framework and the prototype smart-glasses based system we are building which will act as a testbed for research into the use of augmented-reality smart-glasses as an aid to interpreting. The main contributions of this paper are the review of the state of the art in interpreting technology plus the smart-glass experimental framework which act as an aid to Simultaneous Interpreting (SI). Later papers will report of other phases of our work.
