We usually try to avoid feeding the crowdfunding hype-machine, but the Pilot language translating earpiece by Waverly Labs is too cool not to mention, especially because the Indiegogo page is now available for preorder. The concept realizes the dream of an instant, universal language translation device that's shown up in so many science-fiction movies that it's practically become a Hollywood trope.
