More than likely, you have found yourself in a rather awkward
position when you’re trying to communicate with somebody who speaks
a foreign language. It can sometimes be amusing but at times, it
can also be embarrassing. Thanks to a new device that fits in the
ear and is able to translate language easily, those days may
quickly become a thing of the past.
The device was designed by Waverley Labs and is known as The
Pilot System. It is due to be out to the public in September, and
anybody who wears it will be able to understand one of several
different foreign languages through real-time translation. You can
use an app to toggle between the different languages. The current
selection for languages includes Spanish, Italian, French and
English.
This device is rather affordable, with a retail value of $129.
You can preorder this device on their website.
The gadget includes 2 earpieces that fit into the ears.
It allows for real-time translation into Spanish, French,
Italian and English.
“The Pilot” is slated to hit the shelves in September. It will
sell for $129.
It has been compared to the speech translation of the Bablefish,
as was seen in The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
Switching between languages is easy using a downloadable
app.
The creator came up with the idea after meeting a French girl.
