Hello, Friends, Biologists are busily engaged in becoming real-world Dr. Doolittles. While swimming with the dolphins, they wear special translation devices called CHAT (Cetacean Hearing and Telemetry).
A prototype device that includes a “smartphone-sized computer” and two hyrdophones, which can detect the sounds of dolphins. Ultimately, a diver can carry the device in a waterproof case that will be strapped to the chest. When the hydrophone pics up dolphin chatter, an LED in the diver’s mask will light up. The diver can then use an on-board Twiddler, a kind of keyboard-mouse combo, to respond to the dolphin. (DigitalTrends)
If dolphins can hold their laughter to a bare minimum, we'll have some interesting and informative conversations. I'm glad that someone is taking the plunge.
