"Changing the Chromataphores of Communication"
What Are You Making, What Does It Do?
The Lingueeleon is the latest in translation technology. Consisting of two parts, a patch worn on the adams apple and an in earpiece, the Lingueeleon allows people to communicate much more effectively than any other technology. The Chip itself comes in a variety of languages. It attaches to the adams apple and modulates the voice into the native language. When the Lingueeleon is adhered to the adams apple, you simply speak english and the patch translates the english you are muttering into spanish, french, gujarati etc... Conversely, the earpiece works opposite. It records what the person is saying to you and translates their words into english. It is 100% accuracy
Who Are You Making it For, Who is Your Audience?
The Lingueeleon is for everyone. It is for those who love to travel and tour other countries, people who will potentially be taking up residence in another country, and people who have trouble communicating with growing minority populations in their own country. There are currently two versions. The standard patch is sold over the counter in drug and convenience stores for $30.00 US. It comes with the ear piece and patch and is sold per language. A more sophisticated version exists for $600.00 US. It includes language chips for every country that are simply inserted in the patch.
What Kind of Identity Information is Emitted?
The patch is a signifier and will show the communicating party visually, that the person they are communicating with does not speak the same language. It is fully capable of emitting the identity of the user as the user sees fit. Being that it is physically translating their voice, they are the gate keepers to their own information. Their identity is at their discression. This device is no doubt, a soical networking tool and it allows for the common flow of information from sender to reciever
Is The Display/ Service Public, Private, or Both?
This service is public. It exists in the commons and is available to the masses. The more people who own it, the better. It is practical and useful.
How Does It Interact With Other Users, Proximity, Affinities?
In order to eliminate message confusion, the Lingueeleon seeks to bridge the common gap of the language barrier and the way we deconstruct the barrier is quite simple. In order to avoid picking up conversations, the ear piece is clicked once and that shuts it off. To re-activate it, you need only press it again. The person you are communicating with will need to be within two feet's distance from you to understand and translate the language you speak back to the subjects language. Once you speak to the Lingueeleon, it will automatically store the timber and pitch of your voice, making it immediately recognizable for any exchange after the initial one.
What Problem Does it Set Out to Address?
The Lingueeleon sets out to solve basic communication problems that we all experience. Whether this means communicating in our own respective cultures to minorities who do not speak the native language or if we are traveling on business or pleasure. It even goes so far as to give travelers, sociologists, historians and archaeologists a better ground to walk on when it comes to basic linguistic trouble.
What Are Some Related Products or Services-How Does Yours Differ?
There are currently many translator type products on the market. These range from learning programs like Rosetta Stone to web based online translators. The Quicktionary is a pen that will also translate words in addition to phrases and there are several hand held devices that act as similar applications for translation. Ours trumps them all. With 100% accuracy, the Lingueeleon allows for the sender to incorporate inflection, and understanding into the very thing that they do best. Face to face communication.
