Man meets French woman, invents earpiece to talk to her.
Andrew Ochoa has invented a pair of ear inserts that can be shared between two people with the aid of a smart phone app. Once the earpieces are in place, you can speak in English, she can speak in French, and you will hear the translation in your ear.
I was terribly disappointed to learn that they didn’t call it the Babel fish.
Heh. If Ochoa had been born in Cambridge, maybe he would have.
