MIT-ov poslijediplomac David Merrill demonstrira nam način na koji radi Siftable -- kompjuteriziranu samostojeću igračku veličine kolačića, koju možete primiti i okretati u svojim rukama. Ove igračke budućnosti mogu računati, svirati i razgovarati sa svojim prijateljima. Predstavljaju li one slijedeću veliku stvar u praktičnom učenju?

I want to start out by asking you to think back to when you were a kid,
0
0
2000
Molio bih vas da se vratite u prošlost do trenutka kada ste bili dijete,
00:14
playing with blocks.
1
2000
2000
koje se igra s kockicama.
00:16
As you figured out how to reach out and grasp,
2
4000
2000
Dok ste polako shvaćali kako posegnuti za njima i držati ih,
00:18
pick them up and move them around,
3
6000
2000
kako ih podignuti i pomicati okolo,
00:20
you were actually learning how to think and solve problems
4
8000
2000
vi ste u stvari učili kako razmišljati i rješavati probleme,
00:22
by understanding and manipulating spatial relationships.
5
10000
3000
tako što ste shvaćali i manipulirali prostornim odnosima.
00:25
Spatial reasoning is deeply connected
6
13000
3000
Prostorno promišljanje je duboko povezano
00:28
to how we understand a lot of the world around us.
7
16000
2000
s načinom na koji razumijemo veliki dio svijeta koji nas okružuje.
00:30
So, as a computer scientist
8
18000
2000
Kao računalni znanstvenik
00:32
inspired by this utility of our interactions with physical objects --
9
20000
3000
inspiriran s korisnošću naše interakcije s fizičkim predmetima --
00:35
along with my adviser Pattie, and my collaborator Jeevan Kalanithi --
10
23000
4000
zajedno s svojim savjetnikom Pattijem, i svojim suradnikom Jeevan Kalanithijem --
00:39
I started to wonder -- what if when we used a computer,
11
27000
3000
započeo sam razmišljati o tome kako iskoristiti računalo,
00:42
instead of having this one mouse cursor that was a like a digital fingertip
12
30000
3000
umjesto da bude isključivo miš kojim poput digitalnog prsta
00:45
moving around a flat desktop,
13
33000
2000
pomičemo kursor po plosnatoj radnoj površini,
00:47
what if we could reach in with both hands and grasp information physically,
14
35000
4000
što bi se dogodilo ako bismo mogli posegnuti s obje ruke i uzeti informaciju fizički,
00:51
arranging it the way we wanted?
15
39000
2000
oblikujući je na način na koji želimo?
00:53
This question was so compelling that we decided to explore the answer,
16
41000
3000
Pitanje je bilo toliko neodoljivo da smo odlučili istražiti odgovor,
00:56
by building Siftables.
17
44000
2000
tako što smo napravili Siftables.
00:58
In a nutshell, a Siftable is an interactive computer
18
46000
3000
U svojoj srži, Siftable je interaktivno računalo
01:01
the size of a cookie.
19
49000
2000
veličine kolačića.
01:03
They're able to be moved around by hand,
20
51000
2000
Možete ih pomicati rukama,
01:05
they can sense each other, they can sense their motion,
21
53000
2000
oni osjećaju jedni druge, oni osjećaju kretnje,
01:07
and they have a screen and a wireless radio.
22
55000
3000
te imaju ekran i bežični radio.
01:10
Most importantly, they're physical,
23
58000
2000
Najvažnije, oni su opipljivi,
01:12
so like the blocks, you can move them just by reaching out and grasping.
24
60000
3000
tako da ih poput kockica možete pomicati kamo želite.
01:15
And Siftables are an example of a new ecosystem
25
63000
3000
Siftable su primjer novog ekosustava
01:18
of tools for manipulating digital information.
26
66000
2000
alata za upravljanje digitalnim informacijama.
01:20
And as these tools become more physical,
27
68000
3000
I kako ti alati postaju sve opipljiviji
01:23
more aware of their motion, aware of each other,
28
71000
2000
sve osvješteniji vlastitih gibanja, svjesni jedni drugih,
01:25
and aware of the nuance of how we move them,
29
73000
2000
i svjesni nijansi o načinu na koji se pomiču,
01:27
we can start to explore some new and fun interaction styles.
30
75000
3000
možemo započeti istraživati neke nove i zabavnije načine interakcije.
01:30
So, I'm going to start with some simple examples.
31
78000
2000
Započeti ću s nekim jednostavnim primjerima.
01:32
This Siftable is configured to show video,
32
80000
3000
Ovaj Siftable je konfiguriran na način da pokazuje video,
01:35
and if I tilt it in one direction, it'll roll the video this way;
33
83000
2000
i ako ga nakrivim u jednom smjeru, on će pokrenuti video,
01:37
if I tilt it the other way it rolls it backwards.
34
85000
3000
a ako ga nakrivim u suprotnom smjeru, pokrenuti će video unazad.
01:40
And these interactive portraits are aware of each other.
35
88000
3000
I ovi interaktivni prikazi su svjesni jedan drugog.
01:43
So if I put them next to each other, they get interested.
36
91000
3000
I ako ih stavim jednog pored drugog, postaju zainteresirani.
01:46
If they get surrounded, they notice that too,
37
94000
4000
Ako ih okružim, oni će to primjetiti,
01:50
they might get a little flustered.
38
98000
2000
i možda će ih to malo zasmetati
01:52
And they can also sense their motion and tilt.
39
100000
4000
Oni mogu također osjetiti pokret i nagib.
01:56
One of the interesting implications on interaction, we started to realize,
40
104000
5000
Jedna od interesantnih implikacija interakcije, koje smo sve osvješteniji,
02:01
was that we could use everyday gestures on data,
41
109000
2000
jest kako bismo mogli upotrijebiti svakodnevne pokrete na podatke,
02:03
like pouring a color the way we might pour a liquid.
42
111000
3000
poput točenja boje na način na koji točimo tekućinu.
02:06
So in this case, we've got three Siftables configured to be paint buckets
43
114000
4000
U tom slučaju, imamo tri Siftable koji su konfigurirani na način da predstavljaju kante s bojom
02:10
and I can use them to pour color into that central one,
44
118000
3000
i mogu ih upotrijebiti na način da natočim boju u središnju kantu
02:13
where they get mixed.
45
121000
2000
u kojoj se miješaju ostale dvije.
02:15
If we overshoot, we can pour a little bit back.
46
123000
3000
Ako pretjeramo, možemo jednostavno vratiti dio nazad.
02:19
There are also some neat possibilities for education,
47
127000
3000
Postoji jako puno zgodnih mogućnosti za edukaciju,
02:22
like language, math and logic games
48
130000
2000
poput jezika, matematike i logičkih igrica
02:24
where we want to give people the ability to try things quickly,
49
132000
2000
gdje želimo omogućiti ljudima da isprobaju stvari brzo,
02:26
and view the results immediately.
50
134000
3000
i vide odmah rezultate.
02:29
So here I'm --
51
137000
2000
Dakle, ovdje sam --
02:31
(Applause)
52
139000
2000
(Pljesak)
02:33
This is a Fibonacci sequence that I'm making with a simple equation program.
53
141000
4000
Ovo su Fibonaccijevi brojevi koji oblikuju niz koji ja mogu izgraditi jednostavnom jednadžbom.
02:37
Here we have a word game that's kind of like a mash-up between Scrabble and Boggle.
54
145000
4000
Ovdje imamo igru riječi koja na određeni način predstavlja mješavinu Scrabblea i Bogglea.
02:41
Basically, in every round
55
149000
2000
U osnovi, u svakom krugu
02:43
you get a randomly assigned letter on each Siftable,
56
151000
2000
dobijete nasumično dodijeljena slova na svakom Siftableu,
02:45
and as you try to make words it checks against a dictionary.
57
153000
3000
i dok od njih stvarate riječi automatski se provjerava njihova točnost u rječniku.
02:48
Then, after about 30 seconds, it reshuffles,
58
156000
3000
Nakon 30-ak sekundi samo od sebe se redefinira
02:51
and you have a new set of letters and new possibilities to try.
59
159000
3000
i onda imate novi niz slova i nove opcije rješenja na raspolaganju.
02:54
(Applause)
60
162000
1000
(Pljesak)
02:55
Thank you.
61
163000
1000
Hvala vam.
02:56
(Applause)
62
164000
2000
(Pljesak)
02:58
So these are some kids that came on a field trip to the Media Lab,
63
166000
2000
Ovo su djeca koja su došla u posjet Media Labu,
03:00
and I managed to get them to try it out, and shoot a video.
64
168000
3000
koju smo nagovorili da se pokušaju igrati i snimili smo video o tome.
03:10
They really loved it.
65
178000
2000
Uistinu im se svidjelo.
03:12
And, one of the interesting things about this kind of application
66
180000
3000
I jedna od interesantnih stvari vezanih uz ovakvu vrstu aplikacije
03:15
is that you don't have to give people many instructions.
67
183000
3000
jest da ljudima ne morate davati previše uputa.
03:18
All you have to say is, "Make words,"
68
186000
2000
Sve što trebate reči jest: "Složite riječi."
03:20
and they know exactly what to do.
69
188000
2000
i oni točno znaju što trebaju napraviti.
03:22
So here's another few people trying it out.
70
190000
2000
Ovdje je još nekoliko ljudi koji isprobavaju.
03:31
That's our youngest beta tester, down there on the right.
71
199000
3000
Ovo nam je najmlađi beta ispitivač, dolje s desne strane.
03:36
Turns out, all he wanted to do was to stack the Siftables up.
72
204000
5000
Ispalo je, kako je on isključivo želio naslagati Siftable jedan na drugi.
03:42
So to him, they were just blocks.
73
210000
3000
Za njega su oni jednostavno kockice.
03:46
Now, this is an interactive cartoon application.
74
214000
3000
Ovo je crtana interaktivna aplikacija.
03:49
And we wanted to build a learning tool for language learners.
75
217000
5000
Željeli smo izgraditi alat za učenje jezika.
03:54
And this is Felix, actually.
76
222000
2000
Ovo je Feliks.
03:57
And he can bring new characters into the scene,
77
225000
2000
On može uključiti nove likove u scenu,
03:59
just by lifting the Siftables off the table that have that character shown on them.
78
227000
4000
tako što će podići Siftable s određenim likom sa stola.
04:03
Here, he's bringing the sun out.
79
231000
3000
Ovdje uključuje Sunce.
04:07
Video: The sun is rising.
80
235000
2000
Video: Sunce izlazi.
04:09
David Merrill: Now he's brought a tractor into the scene.
81
237000
3000
David Merrill: Ovdje uključuje traktor u scenu.
04:13
Video: The orange tractor.
82
241000
2000
Video: Narandžasti traktor.
04:15
Good job! Yeah!
83
243000
2000
Dobar posao! Bravo!
04:18
DM: So by shaking the Siftables and putting them next to each other
84
246000
3000
Dakle, tako što trese Siftable i stavlja ih jedan do drugog
04:21
he can make the characters interact --
85
249000
2000
on likove na njima potiče na interakciju --
04:23
Video: Woof!
86
251000
1000
Video: Vau!
04:24
DM: inventing his own narrative.
87
252000
2000
DM: i smišlja vlastitu priču.
04:26
Video: Hello!
88
254000
1000
Video: Zdravo!
04:27
DM: It's an open-ended story,
89
255000
2000
DM: Ovo je priča s otvorenim završetkom,
04:29
and he gets to decide how it unfolds.
90
257000
2000
i on odlučuje o tome kako će se razvijati.
04:34
Video: Fly away, cat.
91
262000
2000
Video: Odleti maco.
04:42
DM: So, the last example I have time to show you today
92
270000
3000
DM: I na kraju zadnji primjer za koji imam vremena pokazati ga
04:45
is a music sequencing and live performance tool
93
273000
2000
jest alat za muzičko nizanje i izvedbu uživo
04:47
that we've built recently,
94
275000
2000
koji smo nedavno napravili,
04:49
in which Siftables act as sounds
95
277000
3000
u kojem se Siftable ponaša kao zvuk
04:52
like lead, bass and drums.
96
280000
2000
poput vodećeg zvuka, basa i bubnjeva.
04:54
Each of these has four different variations,
97
282000
2000
Svaki od njih ima četiri različite varijacije,
04:56
you get to choose which one you want to use.
98
284000
2000
od kojih Vi možete izabrati jednu koju želite upotrijebiti.
04:58
And you can inject these sounds into a sequence
99
286000
3000
Nakon toga možete ubacati te zvukove u slijed
05:01
that you can assemble into the pattern that you want.
100
289000
3000
koji možete spojiti u sekvencu koju želite.
05:04
And you inject it by just bumping up the sound Siftable against a sequence Siftable.
101
292000
4000
I možete ga ubaciti tako što jednostavno udarite zvučni Siftable sa Siftableom kojim definirate sekvencu.
05:08
There are effects that you can control live, like reverb and filter.
102
296000
4000
Postoje i zvučni efekti koje možete uživo kontrolirati poput reverba i filtera.
05:12
You attach it to a particular sound and then tilt to adjust it.
103
300000
3000
Povežete ga s određenim zvukom i jednostavno prilagodite.
05:15
And then, overall effects like tempo and volume
104
303000
3000
I onda cjelokupne efekte poput tempa i jačine zvuka
05:18
that apply to the entire sequence.
105
306000
2000
možete primjeniti na cijelu sekvencu.
05:20
So let's have a look.
106
308000
2000
Pogledajmo kako to zvuči.
05:22
Video: (Music)
107
310000
2000
Video: (Glazba)
05:24
DM: We'll start by putting a lead
108
312000
2000
DM: Započeti ćemo tako što ćemo staviti malo vodećeg zvuka
05:26
into two sequence Siftables, arrange them into a series,
109
314000
5000
u dva Siftablea za sekvencu i složiti ćemo ih u seriju,
05:31
extend it, add a little more lead.
110
319000
2000
raširiti, dodati još malo vodećeg zvuka.
05:34
Now I put a bass line in.
111
322000
2000
Sada ću staviti bassline.
05:36
Video: (Music)
112
324000
5000
Video: (Glazba)
05:41
DM: Now I'll put some percussion in.
113
329000
2000
DM: Sada ću staviti unutra malo perkusija.
05:43
Video: (Music)
114
331000
5000
Video: (Glazba)
05:48
DM: And now I'll attach the filter to the drums, so I can control the effect live.
115
336000
3000
DM: I sada ću dodati filter bubnjevima kako bih mogao uživo kontrolirati efekt.
05:51
Video: (Music)
116
339000
2000
Video (Glazba)
05:53
DM: I can speed up the whole sequence
117
341000
2000
DM: Sada mogu ubrazati cijelu sekvencu
05:55
by tilting the tempo one way or the other.
118
343000
3000
tako što ću nakositi tempo u jednu ili drugu stranu.
05:58
Video: (Music)
119
346000
2000
Video: (Glazba)
06:00
DM: And now I'll attach the filter to the bass for some more expression.
120
348000
3000
DM: I sada ću dodati filter basu kako bih dobio snažniji izričaj.
06:03
Video: (Music)
121
351000
5000
Video: (Glazba)
06:08
DM: I can rearrange the sequence while it plays.
122
356000
3000
DM: Mogu promijeniti sekvencu dok svira.
06:11
So I don't have to plan it out in advance, but I can improvise,
123
359000
2000
Dakle ne trebam planirati unaprijed već mogu improvizirati u hodu,
06:13
making it longer or shorter as I go.
124
361000
2000
učinit je dužom ili kraćom prema želji.
06:16
And now, finally, I can fade the whole sequence out
125
364000
3000
I sada, konačno, mogu učiniti da polako cijela sekvenca izblijedi
06:19
using the volume Siftable, tilted to the left.
126
367000
3000
naginjući nalijevo Siftable koji je povezan s jačinom zvuka.
06:22
(Applause)
127
370000
5000
(Pljesak)
06:27
Thank you.
128
375000
2000
Hvala vam.
06:29
So, as you can see,
129
377000
3000
Dakle, kao što možete i sami vidjeti,
06:32
my passion is for making new human-computer interfaces
130
380000
3000
moja strast je usmjerena ka stvaranju novih čovjek-računalo sučelja
06:35
that are a better match to the ways our brains and bodies work.
131
383000
3000
koja su bolje povezana s načinom na koji naš mozak i naše tijelo funkcioniraju.
06:38
And today, I had time to show you one point in this new design space,
132
386000
4000
Danas, sam vam imao vremena pokazati jedan od tih novih proizvoda
06:42
and a few of the possibilities that we're working to bring out of the laboratory.
133
390000
3000
i nekoliko mogućnosti na kojima radimo i želimo ih izbaciti iz laboratorija.
06:45
So the thought I want to leave you with
134
393000
2000
I misao s kojom vas želim napustiti
06:47
is that we're on the cusp of this new generation of tools
135
395000

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
David Merrill - MIT grad studentDavid Merrill works on Siftables, tiny computer blocks that interact with each other to make networks (and music).
Why you should listen
David Merrill is currently the VP of Product at 3D Robotics, where he builds new, easy-to-use flying robots. He was formerly president and co-founder of Sifteo, a San Francisco startup spun out of his research at the MIT Media Lab. This research helped build an award-winning physical+digital play system and catalog of unique games. He also directed HW and SW on Sifteo products.
David constantly tinkers with next-generation technologies to make physical+digital tools that give people new powers (for good).
He is a human-computer interaction expert, frequent public speaker and aerial photography enthusiast. David's work has been featured by MoMA, the Disocvery Channel, Popular Science and Wired.
His main interest now is the Siftables project, the subject of his TEDTalk, on which he works with Jeevan Kalanithi. In another field of inquiry, Merrill is looking at ways to access digital information in the wider world, when we are away from a traditional computer.
A musician himself, Merril also has a deep interest in new musical interfaces. His Adaptive Music Controller is an instrument that learns its player (rather than the player learning the instrument). And working musicians should check out his AudioPint, a portable case that consolidates instruments, effects and audio processors into a gig-safe rugged housing.
