These Earphones Translate Languages in Real-Time and Other Future Tech
Welcome to another day of science and future technology news by Q3 Technologies. Let’s go straight to our first exciting piece of future technology!
These Earphones Translate Languages in Real-Time
Even though technology is so advanced, there will always be one factor that differentiates certain groups of individuals from another – language. To realize the dream of "A World Without Language Barriers", Waverly Labs is soon going to release a device that allows real-time translation of different languages through an earpiece. Called the Pilot, the company plans to launch it at a price of $410 – however, an early bird special is available for early adopters.
"At the convergence of wearable technology + machine translation, the Pilot is the world’s first smart earpiece which translates between users speaking different languages. [It] comes with an additional earpiece for wireless streaming music and an accompanying app, which toggles between languages. The Pilot works [both] offline and overseas," the website states.
Plane with Detachable Cabin Can Save Countless Lives
You might be wondering, why didn’t we think of this before? Surviving an air crash can be a tough situation considering the impact force with the ground, possibility of fire or drowning, and the sheer brutality of the situation. However, Ukrainian aerospace engineer Vladimir Tatarenko has come up with a plane design that can detach its cabin in the event of an emergency.
"Surviving in a plane crash is possible. While aircraft engineers all over the world are trying to make planes safer, they can do nothing about the human factor," says Tatarenko, "The guarantee of success of [the] offered airplane structure is in the fact that [as] outlined in [the] patent’s structure, [the] solutions are based on life-long checked technical solutions of landing in military transport aviation."
3D Printing Objects in Mid-Air
We’ve talked a lot about 3D Printing – like how it can create real bones and provide fused spinal implants. Researchers at Harvard’s Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering and John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have come up with a type of 3D printing technology that can print complex metallic structures in mid-air using lasers and nanoparticles.
"I am truly excited by this latest advance from our lab, which allows one to 3D print and anneal flexible metal electrodes and complex architectures ‘on-the-fly. This sophisticated use of laser technology to enhance 3D printing capabilities not only inspires new kinds of products, it moves the frontier of solid free-form fabrication into an exciting new realm," said Jennifer Lewis, Lead Researcher on the project.
