ICYMI: Translation megaphone, live-caption headwear and more

Today on In Case You Missed It: A crowdfunding campaign to help the hearing impaired pairs a Google Glass-like head display with a mini-computer to create real-time closed captioning. Those that are impaired after a 14-hour flight, international travelers will get some love at Japan’s Narita International Airport with a megaphone that can translate Japanese messages into Chinese and English. Finally, gym rats will probably be into this Kickstarter for a towel (The Towell) which will give you a towel with a pocket and some other things, all for about $40 US.
We ended the show with a feel good video we felt was worth seeing: GoPro’s feature on an Army veteran as he made his return to skateboarding, pushing through the difficulties he faced because of his bi-lateral amputation.
