Thanks to translation apps, it’s becoming easier and easier to communicate with foreigners. Still, translating on the go can take time and be awkward. Well, that may be changing thanks to the Pilot, an ingenious invention by an American guy who met a French girl he wanted to communicate with—but couldn’t. In response, he came up with the Pilot, the world’s first smart earpiece that translates in real-time between users speaking different languages (English, French, Italian, and Spanish). It’s not out yet, but you can preorder it on on Indiegogo. Here’s the introductory video and more info from a couple of other websites:
