Actor, Host, Tech enthusiast, Content Creator
For Bobby Tonelli, an American actor and host living in Singapore, life is defined by contrast.
On any given day, he might be hosting a show in English, grabbing coffee in Little India, filming content in Chinatown, or chatting with creators, shop owners, and listeners whose first language isn’t the same as his. Singapore is global by design—but that doesn’t mean it’s effortless.
“There was always this moment of hesitation,” Bobby says. “You want to connect, but you’re not always sure you’ll understand—or be understood.”
From Observing Culture to Participating in It
That feeling used to sit quietly in the background. Being surrounded by different cultures and languages was inspiring, but also slightly intimidating. Conversations could stall. Phones came out. Eye contact disappeared.
That changed when Bobby started wearing Leion Hey2.
One afternoon, he puts the glasses on while walking through Little India. A quick exchange with a shop owner flows naturally—spoken words becoming subtitles directly in his line of sight. No phone. No awkward pauses. Just conversation.
Later, the scene shifts to Chinatown. Different language, same experience. The technology doesn’t announce itself; it simply works in the background, letting Bobby stay present with the person in front of him.
Translation Without Breaking the Moment
For someone whose job depends on communication, this matters.
Leion Hey2 translates multiple languages in real time, but what stands out to Bobby isn’t the number of languages—it’s the absence of friction. He doesn’t need to look down. He doesn’t need to interrupt. He stays engaged, face to face.
“As a host, your job is to listen,” he explains. “Anything that pulls you away from that moment breaks the connection.”
The glasses don’t just translate words; they preserve the rhythm of human interaction.
AI That Understands the World Around You
Between conversations, Bobby taps into another layer of the experience. Using AI, he can ask questions about the places he’s visiting, the food he’s trying, or the cultural references he hears—getting answers quietly, without pulling out a phone or disrupting the flow of the day.
It’s less about searching, and more about understanding in context.
Staying Connected to an Audience—Without Distraction
As a presenter and content creator, Bobby is constantly engaging with an audience. Scripts, notes, and cues are part of the job—but traditional screens pull attention away.
With Leion Hey2’s heads-up, teleprompter-style display, information stays where his attention already is. He can speak naturally, maintain eye contact, and stay focused on the people he’s talking to—whether that’s on air, on camera, or on the street.
A Tool That Fits the Life, Not the Other Way Around
By the end of the day, the glasses don’t feel like a gadget. They feel like an extension of how Bobby already lives—moving between cultures, languages, and conversations without stopping to translate the world manually.
In a city where cultures intersect every day, the technology doesn’t try to stand out. It simply makes connection easier.
