    NPR Labs Nipper One brings emergency radio broadcasts to the hearing-impaired

    National Public Radio does hardware, too, at CES 2014

    Published: January 06, 2014 03:15 PM

    If you thought NPR produced only radio waves, think again: We were surprised to see the broadcasting company had a booth at CES 2014, but sure enough, we found a cool gadget there. The NPR Labs Nipper One is a telecommunications device designed to bring emergency radio broadcasts to the hearing-impaired; it translates the messages into onscreen text and flashes alert lights.

    Check our video to see how it works.
