The Pilot System works as a translator between individuals who speak different languages. This futuristic device is not currently on the market, but is available for pre-order to be finished around Spring 2017. Imagine walking down the streets being able to understand every little thing being spoken around you without a worry. This little device not only offers that option, but also in real-time so there is no lag in understanding.
