Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for performing natural language translation in AR may include accessing an audio input stream that includes words spoken by a speaking user in a first language. The method may next include performing active noise cancellation on the words in the audio input stream so that the spoken words are suppressed before reaching a listening user. Still further, the method may include processing the audio input stream to identify the words spoken by the speaking user, and translating the identified words spoken by the speaking user into a second, different language. The method may also include generating spoken words in the second, different language using the translated words, and replaying the generated spoken words in the second language to the listening user. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
