2000
Acum un an jumatate
00:17
Stephen Lawler, who also gave a talk
1
2000
3000
Stepher Lawler, care a avut o prezentare
00:20
here at TED in 2007 on Virtual Earth,
2
5000
2000
aici la TED in 2007 despre Pamantul Virtual
00:22
brought me over to become the architect of Bing Maps,
3
7000
4000
m-a adus ca arhitect al Bing Maps (hartilor Bing) (n.t. Bing - motor de cautare de la Microsoft)
00:26
which is Microsoft's online-mapping effort.
4
11000
3000
care reprezinta efortul Microsoft de a crea harti online.
00:29
In the past two and a half, we've been very hard at work
5
14000
2000
In ultimii 2 ani si jumatate, am lucrat din greu
00:31
on redefining the way maps work online.
6
16000
4000
pentru a redefini cum functioneaza hartile online.
00:35
And we really are seeing this in very different terms
7
20000
2000
Si chiar vedem asta in termeni diferiti
00:37
from the kind of mapping and direction site
8
22000
2000
fata de modul de mapare si siteul de directionare
00:39
that one is used to.
9
24000
2000
cu care suntem obisnuiti.
00:41
So, the first thing that you might notice about the mapping site
10
26000
2000
Asadar, primul lucru pe care puteti sa il observati pe site-ul de mapare,
00:43
is just the fluidity of the zooming and the panning,
11
28000
2000
este fluiditatea cu care se poate face zoom si efectele de miscare laterala
00:45
which, if you're familiar at all with Seadragon,
12
30000
2000
care, daca sunteti familiari cu Seadragon,(n.t Technologie de la Microsoft de zoom pentru website-uri)
00:47
that's where it comes from.
13
32000
2000
de acolo vine.
00:49
Mapping is, of course,
14
34000
2000
Maparea este, evident,
00:51
not just about cartography,
15
36000
2000
nu doar despre cartografiere,
00:53
it's also about imagery.
16
38000
2000
este si despre imagine.
00:55
So, as we zoom-in beyond a certain level
17
40000
3000
Asadar, pe masura ce facem zoom dupa un anumit nivel,
00:58
this resolves into a kind of Sim City-like
18
43000
3000
se ajunge la un fel de vizualizare de tip Sim City(n.t joc de realitate virtuala cu orase)
01:01
virtual view at 45 degrees.
19
46000
2000
la un unghi de 45 de grade.
01:03
This can be viewed from any of the cardinal directions
20
48000
2000
Aceasta poate fi vazuta din oricare punct cardinal
01:05
to show you the 3D structure of the city, all the facades.
21
50000
3000
pentru a vedea structura 3D a orasului, si toate fatadele.
01:08
Now, we see this space, this three-dimensional environment,
22
53000
6000
Acum, vedem acest spatiu, acest mediu tridimensional
01:14
as being a canvas on which
23
59000
3000
ca fiind panza pe care
01:17
all sorts of applications can play out,
24
62000
6000
pot sa se desfasoare tot felul de aplicatii.
01:23
and map's directions are really just one of them.
25
68000
3000
Iar directionarile pe harta sunt doar una dintre ele.
01:26
If you click on this, you'll see
26
71000
3000
Daca apasati pe asta veti vedea
01:29
some of the ones that we've put out, just in the past couple of months
27
74000
3000
unele dintre cele pe care le-am scos doar un ultimele doua luni,
01:32
since we've launched.
28
77000
2000
de cand ne-am lansat.
01:34
So, for example, a couple of days after the disaster in Haiti,
29
79000
2000
Asadar, de exemplu, la cateva zile de la dezastrul din Haiti,
01:36
we had an earthquake map that showed
30
81000
2000
aveam o harta a cutremurului care arata
01:38
before and after pictures from the sky.
31
83000
2000
poze dinainte si de dupa, luate din aer.
01:40
This wonderful one which I don't have time to show you
32
85000
2000
Una dintre aceste minunate lucruri pe care nu am timp sa vi le arat
01:42
is taking hyper-local blogs in real time
33
87000
3000
este sa iei blogurile hiper locale in timp real
01:45
and mapping those stories, those entries
34
90000
2000
si sa pui pe harta acele povesti, acele referiri
01:47
to the places that are referred to on the blogs.
35
92000
2000
la locurile din povestirile de pe blog.
01:49
It's wonderful.
36
94000
3000
Este minunat.
01:52
But I'm going to show you some more candy sort of stuff.
37
97000
3000
Dar am sa va arat ceva cam ca cireasa de pe tort.
01:55
So, we see the imagery, of course,
38
100000
4000
Asadar, vedem imaginea desigur,
01:59
not stopping at the sky.
39
104000
3000
dar nu ne limitam la cer.
02:02
These little green bubbles represent
40
107000
3000
Aceste bulinute verzi reprezinta
02:05
photosynths that users have made.
41
110000
2000
photosynth-uri(n.t colaje de poze utilizand technologia Photosynth de la Microsoft) facute de utilizatori.
02:07
I'm not going to dive into them either, but photosynths are integrated into the map.
42
112000
3000
Nu o sa ma arunc nici in ele, dar photosynth-urile sunt integrate in harta.
02:10
Everything that's cased in blue
43
115000
2000
Tot ce este incastrat in albastru
02:12
is an area where we've taken imagery on the ground as well.
44
117000
5000
reprezinta zona pe care am facut imagini si la nivelul solului.
02:17
And so, when you fly down --
45
122000
2000
Si astfel, cand zbori in jos --
02:19
(Applause)
46
124000
2000
(Aplauze)
02:21
Thank you. When you fly down to the ground,
47
126000
2000
Multumesc. Cand zbori pana la sol,
02:23
and you see this kind of panoramic imagery,
48
128000
3000
si vezi o asemenea imagine panoramica,
02:26
the first thing that you might notice is that it's not just a picture,
49
131000
4000
primul lucru pe care ai putea sa il observi este ca nu este doar imaginea,
02:30
there's just as much three-dimensional understanding of this environment
50
135000
3000
exista atat de multa intelegere asupra mediului tridimensional
02:33
as there is of the three-dimensional city from above,
51
138000
3000
precum exista si asupra orasului tridimensional de deasupra,
02:36
so if I click on something to get a closer view of it,
52
141000
4000
incat daca apasati pe ceva pentru a primi o imagine mai de aproape,
02:40
then, the fact that that transition looks as it does,
53
145000
3000
atunci, faptul ca acea tranzitie arata asa,
02:43
is a function of all of that geometry,
54
148000
2000
este o functie a intregii geometii,
02:45
all of that 3D understanding behind this model.
55
150000
4000
toata acea intelegere 3D din spatele acestui model.
02:49
Now, I'll show you a fun app
56
154000
3000
Acum, o sa va arat o aplicatie haioasa
02:52
that -- we've been working on a collaboration with our friends at Flickr.
57
157000
7000
la care am lucrat in colaborare cu prietenii nostrii de la Flickr. (n.t website baza de date de fotografii)
02:59
This takes Flickr, georegistered imagery
58
164000
3000
Aceasta ia imaginea geoinregistrata de Flicker
03:02
and uses photosynth-like processes
59
167000
3000
si utilizeaza procesele asemanatoare photosynth-ului
03:05
to connect that imagery to our imagery, so --
60
170000
4000
pentru a conecta acea imagine cu imaginea noastra, asadar--
03:09
I'm not sure if that's the one I actually meant to pull up, but --
61
174000
3000
nu stiu daca aceasta este cea pe care vroiam sa v-o arat, dar--
03:12
(Laughter)
62
177000
3000
(rasete)
03:15
But notice -- this is, of course, a popular tourist site,
63
180000
4000
Dar observati-- acesta este, evident, un loc popular pentru turisti,
03:19
and there are lots of photos around here,
64
184000
2000
si sunt o multime de fotografii pe aici,
03:21
and these photos are all taken at different times.
65
186000
3000
iar aceaste sunt facute la diferite momente.
03:24
So this one was taken around five.
66
189000
2000
Aceasta a fost facuta in jurul orei 5.
03:26
So that's the Flickr photo,
67
191000
2000
Deci aceasta este poza de pe Flicker,
03:28
that's our imagery.
68
193000
2000
aceasta este imaginea noastra.
03:30
So you really see how this kind of crowd-sourced imagery
69
195000
3000
Deci vedeti cum acest fel de imagine cu surse din multime
03:33
is integrating, in a very deep way, into the map itself.
70
198000
3000
este integrata, intr-un mod foarte profund, in harta insasi,
03:36
(Applause)
71
201000
2000
(aplauze)
03:38
Thank you.
72
203000
2000
Va multumesc.
03:40
(Applause)
73
205000
2000
(aplauze)
03:42
There are several reasons why this is interesting
74
207000
2000
Sunt mai multe motive de ce asta este interesant
03:44
and one of them, of course, is time travel.
75
209000
2000
iar unul dintre ele este, evident, calatoria in timp.
03:46
And I'm not going to show you some of the wonderful historic imagery in here,
76
211000
2000
Si nu o sa va arat cateva imagini minunate din istorie,
03:48
but there are some with horses and carriages and so on as well.
77
213000
3000
dar sunt si cativa cai si calesti si asa mai departe, de asemenea.
03:51
But what's cool about this is that, not only is it augmenting
78
216000
3000
Dar ce este interesant despre asta este ca, nu doar mareste
03:54
this visual representation of the world
79
219000
2000
reprezentarea vizuala asupra lumii
03:56
with things that are coming in from users,
80
221000
3000
utilizand lucruri care vin de la utilizatori,
03:59
but it also is the foundation for augmented reality,
81
224000
4000
dar de asemenea este baza pentru realitatea augmentata,
04:03
and that's something that I'll be showing you more of in just a moment.
82
228000
3000
si asta este ceea ce urmeaza sa va arat in doar un moment.
04:06
Now I just made a transition indoors. That's also interesting.
83
231000
4000
Am facut in acest moment o tranzitie in interior. Si asta e interesant.
04:10
OK, notice there's now a roof above us.
84
235000
2000
Bine, observati ca acum avem un acoperis deasupra capului.
04:12
We're inside the Pike Place Market.
85
237000
3000
Suntem in Piata Pike Place
04:15
And this is something that we're able to do with a backpack camera,
86
240000
2000
Si acest lucru putem sa il facem cu o camera de rucsac,
04:17
so, we're now not only imaging in the street
87
242000
4000
asadar, nu doar cream imaginea strazii
04:21
with this camera on tops of cars,
88
246000
2000
cu aceasta camera pe acoperisul masinilor,
04:23
but we're also imaging inside.
89
248000
4000
dar de asemenea cream imaginea inauntru.
04:27
And from here, we're able to do the same sorts of registration,
90
252000
5000
Si de aici, putem sa facem tot felul de registrari,
04:32
not only of still images, but also of video.
91
257000
4000
nu doar de imagini statice, ci si video.
04:36
So this is something that we're now going to try
92
261000
2000
Deci acesta este un lucru pe care il vom incerca acum
04:38
for the first time, live,
93
263000
2000
pentru prima data, in direct,
04:40
and this is really, truly, very frightening.
94
265000
3000
si aceasta este intr-adevar, foarte inspaimantator.
04:43
(Laughter)
95
268000
2000
(rasete)
04:46
OK.
96
271000
2000
Bine.
04:48
(Ringing)
97
273000
2000
(suna)
04:50
All right, guys, are you there?
98
275000
2000
Bine baieti, sinteti acolo?
04:52
(Noise)
99
277000
2000
(zgomot)
04:54
All right. I'm hitting it. I'm punching play.
100
279000
2000
Bine. Apas. Apas pe pornire.
04:56
I'm live. All right. There we go.
101
281000
2000
Sunt live. Bine, Iata!
04:58
So, these are our friends in Pike Place Market, the lab.
102
283000
5000
Deci, acestia sunt prietenii nostrii in Piata Pike Market, laboratorul.
05:03
(Applause)
103
288000
8000
(aplauze)
05:12
So they're broadcasting this live.
104
297000
2000
Deci ei transmit in direct.
05:14
OK, George, can you pan back over to the corner market?
105
299000
4000
Bine, George, poti sa reintorci imaginea asupra coltului de piata?
05:18
Because I want to show points of interest.
106
303000
4000
Pentru ca vreau sa arat locuri de interes.
05:22
No, no. The other way.
107
307000
3000
Nu, nu. In cealalta directie.
05:25
Yeah, yeah, back to the corner, back to the corner.
108
310000
2000
Asa, asa, inapoi in colt. Inapoi in colt.
05:27
I don't want to see you guys yet.
109
312000
3000
Nu vreau sa va vad pe voi inca.
05:31
OK, OK, back to the corner, back to the corner, back to the corner.
110
316000
6000
Bine. Bine. Inapoi in colt. Inapoi in colt. Inapoi in colt.
05:37
OK, never mind.
111
322000
2000
Bine, lasa.
05:40
What I wanted to show you was these points of interest
112
325000
2000
Ceea ce vroiam sa va atat erau aceste locuri de interes
05:42
over here on top of the image
113
327000
2000
aici deasupra imaginii
05:44
because what that gives you a sense of is the way,
114
329000
2000
pentru ca asta va da senzatia ca si cand
05:46
if you're actually on the spot,
115
331000
2000
sunteti chiar acolo prezenti...
05:48
you can think about this --
116
333000
2000
puteti sa va ganditi la asta --
05:50
this is taking a step in addition to augmented reality.
117
335000
3000
aceasta este un pas in plus pentru realitatea augmentata.
05:53
What the hell are you guys -- oh, sorry.
118
338000
2000
Ce naiba faceti voi baieti -- oh, scuze.
05:55
(Laughter)
119
340000
3000
(rasete)
05:58
We're doing two different --
120
343000
3000
Facem doua lucruri diferite...
06:01
OK, I'm hanging up now.
121
346000
3000
OK. Inchid acum.
06:04
We're doing two different things here.
122
349000
2000
Facem doua lucruri diferite aici.
06:06
One of them is to take that real ...
123
351000
2000
Unul este sa luam acest lucru real...
06:08
(Laughter)
124
353000
7000
(rasete)
06:15
All right, let me just take a moment and thank the team.
125
360000
3000
Bine, lasati-ma un moment sa multumesc echipei.
06:18
They've done a fantastic job of pulling this together.
126
363000
2000
Au facut o treaba fantastica de a pune totul cap la cap.
06:20
(Applause)
127
365000
2000
(aplauze)
06:22
I'm going to abandon them now and walk back outside.
128
367000
3000
Am sa ii las acum si sa merg din nou afara.
06:25
And while I walk outside, I'll just mention that
129
370000
3000
Si in timp ce merg afara, o sa va mentionez ca
06:28
here we're using this for telepresence,
130
373000
2000
aici, folosim asta pentru teleprezenta,
06:30
but you can equally well use this
131
375000
2000
dar voi puteti sa utilizati asta in aceeasi masura
06:32
on the spot, for augmented reality.
132
377000
2000
pe loc, pentru realitate augmentata.
06:34
When you use it on the spot, it means that
133
379000
2000
Cand il folosesti pe loc, inseamna ca
06:36
you're able to bring all of that metadata
134
381000
2000
esti capabil sa aduci toata aceste metadate
06:38
and information about the world to you.
135
383000
2000
si informatii despre lume, la tine.
06:40
So here, we're taking the extra step of also broadcasting it.
136
385000
2000
Deci aici, facem acem pas in plus de a o emite.
06:42
That was being broadcast, by the way, on a 4G network
137
387000
3000
Aceasta era emisa, apropo, pe o retea 4G
06:45
from the market.
138
390000
3000
din piata.
06:48
All right, and now there's one last TED talk
139
393000
3000
Bine, si acum mai este o ultima prezentare TED
06:51
that Microsoft has given in the past several years.
140
396000
2000
pe care Microsoft a facut-o in ultimii ani.
06:53
And that's Curtis Wong, WorldWide Telescope.
141
398000
3000
Si acesta este Curtis Wong, de la WorldWide Telescope.
06:56
So, we're going to head over to the dumpsters,
142
401000
2000
Asadar, ne vom indrepta catre containerele de gunoi,
06:58
where it's traditional, after a long day at the market,
143
403000
3000
unde in mod traditional, dupa o zi lunga de piata,
07:01
to go out for a break, but also stare up at the sky.

sa te duci pentru o pauza, dar si sa te uiti la cer.
07:05
This is the integration
145
410000
2000
Aceasta este integrarea
07:07
of WorldWide Telescope into our maps.
146
412000

07:12
This is the current -- thank you --
148
417000
3000
Acesta este -- va multumesc--
07:15
this is the current time. If we scrub the time,
149
420000
2000
Acesta este timpul real, dar daca stergem timpul,
07:17
then we can see how the sky will look at different times,
150
422000
3000
putem sa vedem cum va arata cerul la diferite momente.
07:20
and we can get all of this very detailed
151
425000
2000
si putem sa obtinem informatii foarte detaliate
07:22
information about different times, different dates:
152
427000
4000
despre timpuri diferite, date diferite.
07:27
Let's move the moon a little higher in the sky,
153
432000
2000
Sa mutam luna un pic mai sus pe cer,
07:29
maybe change the date.
154
434000
4000
poate schimbam data.
07:33
I would like to kind of zoom in on the moon.
155
438000
3000
As vrea sa dam zoom pe luna intr-un fel.
07:39
So, this is an astronomically complete
156
444000
2000
Asadar, aceasta este o reprezentare completa din punct de vedere astronomic
07:41
representation of the sky
157
446000
3000
a cerului
07:44
integrated right into the Earth.
158
449000
2000
integrata chiar aici pe Pamant.
07:46
All right now, I've overrun my time,
159
451000
2000
Bine acum, am ramas fara timp,
07:48
so I've got to stop.
160
453000
2000
incat trebuie sa ma opresc.
07:50
Thank you all very much.
161
455000

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Blaise Agüera y Arcas - Software architectBlaise Agüera y Arcas works on machine learning at Google. Previously a Distinguished Engineer at Microsoft, he has worked on augmented reality, mapping, wearable computing and natural user interfaces.
Why you should listen
Blaise Agüera y Arcas is principal scientist at Google, where he leads a team working on machine intelligence for mobile devices. His group works extensively with deep neural nets for machine perception and distributed learning, and it also investigates so-called "connectomics" research, assessing maps of connections within the brain.
Agüera y Arcas' background is as multidimensional as the visions he helps create. In the 1990s, he authored patents on both video compression and 3D visualization techniques, and in 2001, he made an influential computational discovery that cast doubt on Gutenberg's role as the father of movable type.
He also created Seadragon (acquired by Microsoft in 2006), the visualization technology that gives Photosynth its amazingly smooth digital rendering and zoom capabilities. Photosynth itself is a vastly powerful piece of software capable of taking a wide variety of images, analyzing them for similarities, and grafting them together into an interactive three-dimensional space. This seamless patchwork of images can be viewed via multiple angles and magnifications, allowing us to look around corners or “fly” in for a (much) closer look. Simply put, it could utterly transform the way we experience digital images.
He joined Microsoft when Seadragon was acquired by Live Labs in 2006. Shortly after the acquisition of Seadragon, Agüera y Arcas directed his team in a collaboration with Microsoft Research and the University of Washington, leading to the first public previews of Photosynth several months later. His TED Talk on Seadragon and Photosynth in 2007 is rated one of TED's "most jaw-dropping." He returned to TED in 2010 to demo Bing’s augmented reality maps.
Fun fact: According to the author, Agüera y Arcas is the inspiration for the character Elgin in the 2012 best-selling novel Where'd You Go, Bernadette?
