We grew up
0
0
2000
我们生长在
00:17
interacting with the physical objects around us.
1
2000
3000
和周围物体互动的环境里
00:20
There are an enormous number of them
2
5000
2000
有很多很多物品，
00:22
that we use every day.
3
7000
2000
是我们每天都要用到的
00:24
Unlike most of our computing devices,
4
9000
3000
和大部分计算机软件相比，
00:27
these objects are much more fun to use.
5
12000
3000
这些实体有趣多了。
00:30
When you talk about objects,
6
15000
3000
当我们提到物品,
00:33
one other thing automatically comes attached to that thing,
7
18000
3000
会立即出现和这东西有关的另一件事 --
00:36
and that is gestures:
8
21000
2000
姿势:
00:38
how we manipulate these objects,
9
23000
2000
也就是：我们怎么使用这些物品,
00:40
how we use these objects in everyday life.
10
25000
3000
我们在每日生活中如何使用这些物品
00:43
We use gestures not only to interact with these objects,
11
28000
3000
我们不只运用不同姿势来使用物体
00:46
but we also use them to interact with each other.
12
31000
2000
也用来和别人沟通。
00:48
A gesture of "Namaste!", maybe, to respect someone,
13
33000
3000
合十的姿势，可能是表示尊敬某人
00:51
or maybe --
14
36000
1000
或者是 --
00:52
in India I don't need to teach a kid that this means
15
37000
2000
在印度，不必教，小孩都知道这是 --
00:54
"four runs" in cricket.
16
39000
2000
板球的"4"的意思
00:56
It comes as a part of our everyday learning.
17
41000
3000
这是我们的生活常识
00:59
So, I am very interested,
18
44000
2000
所以，我一开始，就很有兴趣
01:01
from the beginning, that how --
19
46000
2000
想了解， --
01:03
how our knowledge
20
48000
2000
我们对于
01:05
about everyday objects and gestures,
21
50000
2000
日常用品和姿势的认知,
01:07
and how we use these objects,
22
52000
2000
以及，如何把这些物品
01:09
can be leveraged to our interactions with the digital world.
23
54000
3000
运用在我们和数字世界的沟通上
01:12
Rather than using a keyboard and mouse,
24
57000
3000
为什么没有键盘和鼠标,
01:15
why can I not use my computer
25
60000
3000
我就没办法使用计算机?
01:18
in the same way that I interact in the physical world?
26
63000
3000
为什么和计算机沟通，不能和实体世界沟通一样?
01:21
So, I started this exploration around eight years back,
27
66000
3000
我的探索从八年前开始
01:24
and it literally started with a mouse on my desk.
28
69000
3000
从我桌上的鼠标开始
01:27
Rather than using it for my computer,
29
72000
3000
我不是在计算机屏幕上使用它
01:30
I actually opened it.
30
75000
3000
而是拆开它，
01:33
Most of you might be aware that, in those days,
31
78000
2000
你们都知道，在那个年代，
01:35
the mouse used to come with a ball inside,
32
80000
2000
鼠标里面有个球，
01:37
and there were two rollers
33
82000
2000
还有两个滚轮，
01:39
that actually guide the computer where the ball is moving,
34
84000
3000
所以，当鼠标移动时，
01:42
and, accordingly, where the mouse is moving.
35
87000
2000
滚轮会告诉计算机，球滚动的方向。
01:44
So, I was interested in these two rollers,
36
89000
3000
我对滚轮有兴趣，
01:47
and I actually wanted more, so I borrowed another mouse from a friend --
37
92000
3000
但还需要多几个，所以就跟朋友借他的鼠标
01:50
never returned to him --
38
95000
2000
一直没还他 --
01:52
and I now had four rollers.
39
97000
2000
这样就有了四个滚轮。
01:54
Interestingly, what I did with these rollers is,
40
99000
3000
我怎么用这些滚轮呢--
01:57
basically, I took them off of these mouses
41
102000
3000
基本上，我把它们从鼠标里拿出来
02:00
and then put them in one line.
42
105000
2000
放在一条在线
02:02
It had some strings and pulleys and some springs.
43
107000
3000
有线、滑带和弹簧
02:05
What I got is basically a gesture interface device
44
110000
3000
我做出了一个侦测姿势的接口装置。
02:08
that actually acts as a motion-sensing device
45
113000
4000
像个动作侦测装置，
02:12
made for two dollars.
46
117000
2000
成本只要两块美元。
02:14
So, here, whatever movement I do in my physical world
47
119000
3000
所以，现在，不论我在实体世界做什么，
02:17
is actually replicated inside the digital world
48
122000
3000
在数字的世界里就会反映出来
02:20
just using this small device that I made, around eight years back,
49
125000
3000
只要用这个我8年前做的小东西就可以,
02:23
in 2000.
50
128000
2000
那是2000年。
02:25
Because I was interested in integrating these two worlds,
51
130000
2000
我对于整合实体和数字世界有兴趣,
02:27
I thought of sticky notes.
52
132000
2000
我想到便利贴。
02:29
I thought, "Why can I not connect
53
134000
3000
我想, "何不把
02:32
the normal interface of a physical sticky note
54
137000
2000
实体便利贴的接口，和
02:34
to the digital world?"
55
139000
2000
数字便利贴整合在一起?"
02:36
A message written on a sticky note to my mom
56
141000
2000
在便利贴上写给我妈妈的留言
02:38
on paper
57
143000
1000
纸条
02:39
can come to an SMS,
58
144000
2000
可以用简讯传递。
02:41
or maybe a meeting reminder
59
146000
2000
或是写在纸上的会议通知
02:43
automatically syncs with my digital calendar --
60
148000
2000
自动和我的数字行事历同步 --
02:45
a to-do list that automatically syncs with you.
61
150000
3000
待办事项会自动在计算机上同步。
02:48
But you can also search in the digital world,
62
153000
3000
但你也同时可以在数字环境里搜寻,
02:51
or maybe you can write a query, saying,
63
156000
2000
或者是,你可以写下问题, 如,
02:53
"What is Dr. Smith's address?"
64
158000
2000
"史教授的地址?"
02:55
and this small system actually prints it out --
65
160000
2000
然后这个小系统就把地址打印出来 --
02:57
so it actually acts like a paper input-output system,
66
162000
2000
这就像是个纸做的输出入系统,
02:59
just made out of paper.
67
164000
3000
用纸就可以做到.
03:05
In another exploration,
68
170000
2000
另一项探索是,
03:07
I thought of making a pen that can draw in three dimensions.
69
172000
3000
我想到用一枝可以画3D效果的笔
03:10
So, I implemented this pen
70
175000
2000
所以就设计出这支笔
03:12
that can help designers and architects
71
177000
2000
帮助设计师和建筑师
03:14
not only think in three dimensions,
72
179000
2000
不只以三度空间思考,
03:16
but they can actually draw
73
181000
2000
也可以画3D图形
03:18
so that it's more intuitive to use that way.
74
183000
2000
这样用起来就更直觉多了。
03:20
Then I thought, "Why not make a Google Map,
75
185000
2000
我又想, "何不做一个实体世界的
03:22
but in the physical world?"
76
187000
2000
Google地图?"
03:24
Rather than typing a keyword to find something,
77
189000
3000
不必输入关键词来找东西,
03:27
I put my objects on top of it.
78
192000
2000
而是放这个东西在地图上。
03:29
If I put a boarding pass, it will show me where the flight gate is.
79
194000
3000
如果我把登机证放在地图上,它会显示登机口的位置
03:32
A coffee cup will show where you can find more coffee,
80
197000
3000
放咖啡杯，它会显示咖啡厅的位置,
03:35
or where you can trash the cup.
81
200000
2000
或垃圾筒的位置.
03:37
So, these were some of the earlier explorations I did because
82
202000
3000
这些是早期我做的实验，
03:40
the goal was to connect these two worlds seamlessly.
83
205000
3000
我的目的是紧密衔接这两个世界.
03:44
Among all these experiments,
84
209000
2000
在这些实验之中,
03:46
there was one thing in common:
85
211000
2000
有一个共通点:
03:48
I was trying to bring a part of the physical world to the digital world.
86
213000
4000
我都会把实体的东西带进数字环境里.
03:52
I was taking some part of the objects,
87
217000
3000
我把物品,
03:55
or any of the intuitiveness of real life,
88
220000
3000
或生活中，直觉式的东西,
03:58
and bringing them to the digital world,
89
223000
3000
带进数字世界里,
04:01
because the goal was to make our computing interfaces more intuitive.
90
226000
3000
目的是让计算机接口更人性化
04:04
But then I realized that we humans
91
229000
2000
但是后来我了解到
04:06
are not actually interested in computing.
92
231000
3000
人们对计算机没有兴趣
04:09
What we are interested in is information.
93
234000
3000
人们有兴趣的是信息。
04:12
We want to know about things.
94
237000
2000
我们想知道更多事情.
04:14
We want to know about dynamic things going around.
95
239000
2000
我们想知道周围的各种动态
04:16
So I thought, around last year -- in the beginning of the last year --
96
241000
5000
所以，大约在去年，去年年初的时候--
04:21
I started thinking, "Why can I not take this approach in the reverse way?"
97
246000
3000
我开始想, "我何不颠倒我的研究方向呢?"
04:24
Maybe, "How about I take my digital world
98
249000
3000
或许, "把数字世界的数字信息，
04:27
and paint the physical world with that digital information?"
99
252000
5000
描画在实体世界里??"
04:32
Because pixels are actually, right now, confined in these rectangular devices
100
257000
4000
因为这些影像，都被包在这些方方的装置里
04:36
that fit in our pockets.
101
261000
2000
然后放进口袋里.
04:38
Why can I not remove this confine
102
263000
3000
我何不把这个形体打破
04:41
and take that to my everyday objects, everyday life
103
266000
3000
把信息放进日常生活中?
04:44
so that I don't need to learn the new language
104
269000
2000
这样我也不必学新的、
04:46
for interacting with those pixels?
105
271000
3000
和这些象素沟通的语言?
04:50
So, in order to realize this dream,
106
275000
2000
为了实现这个梦想,
04:52
I actually thought of putting a big-size projector on my head.
107
277000
3000
我真的想过把一个投影机放在我的头上
04:55
I think that's why this is called a head-mounted projector, isn't it?
108
280000
3000
这就是所谓「投(头)影机」的意思，对吧?!
04:58
I took it very literally,
109
283000
2000
我照着字面意思做了
05:00
and took my bike helmet,
110
285000
2000
我把自行车的头盔
05:02
put a little cut over there so that the projector actually fits nicely.
111
287000
3000
割掉一点,让投影机可以放得进去.
05:05
So now, what I can do --
112
290000
2000
这样，我可以 --
05:07
I can augment the world around me with this digital information.
113
292000
4000
在真实世界中用数字讯息环绕我
05:11
But later,
114
296000
2000
但是,后来
05:13
I realized that I actually wanted to interact with those digital pixels, also.
115
298000
3000
我想到 我也要和这些计算机像素沟通.
05:16
So I put a small camera over there,
116
301000
2000
所以我加了一个小摄影机,
05:18
that acts as a digital eye.
117
303000
2000
当作数位眼睛.
05:20
Later, we moved to a much better,
118
305000
2000
之后, 我们进一步,做成--
05:22
consumer-oriented pendant version of that,
119
307000
2000
使用者导向的颈挂式,
05:24
that many of you now know as the SixthSense device.
120
309000
3000
就是很多人知道的「第六感计算装置」.
05:27
But the most interesting thing about this particular technology
121
312000
3000
这技术最有趣的地方是
05:30
is that you can carry your digital world with you
122
315000
4000
你可以把数字世界带着走
05:34
wherever you go.
123
319000
2000
到任何地方都可以.
05:36
You can start using any surface, any wall around you,
124
321000
3000
你可以用任何表面或墙壁，
05:39
as an interface.
125
324000
2000
当成界面.
05:41
The camera is actually tracking all your gestures.
126
326000
3000
这录像机随时都在侦测你的动作.
05:44
Whatever you're doing with your hands,
127
329000
2000
不论双手在做什么,
05:46
it's understanding that gesture.
128
331000
2000
它都知道.
05:48
And, actually, if you see, there are some color markers
129
333000
2000
还有，你看那些色笔
05:50
that in the beginning version we are using with it.
130
335000
3000
那是我们早期用的.
05:53
You can start painting on any wall.
131
338000
2000
可以在任何墙壁上画画.
05:55
You stop by a wall, and start painting on that wall.
132
340000
3000
可以停在墙壁前面，开始在墙上作画.
05:58
But we are not only tracking one finger, here.
133
343000
2000
而且我们不只侦测一根手指.
06:00
We are giving you the freedom of using all of both of your hands,
134
345000
4000
我们让你可以用两只手全部,
06:04
so you can actually use both of your hands to zoom into or zoom out
135
349000
3000
所以可以用两只手去放大缩小--
06:07
of a map just by pinching all present.
136
352000
2000
地图，用捏的.
06:09
The camera is actually doing --
137
354000
3000
录像机 --
06:12
just, getting all the images --
138
357000
1000
收集所有影像 --
06:13
is doing the edge recognition and also the color recognition
139
358000
3000
执行动作辨识和颜色辨识
06:16
and so many other small algorithms are going on inside.
140
361000
3000
有很多小程序在里面跑
06:19
So, technically, it's a little bit complex,
141
364000
2000
技术上有点复杂,
06:21
but it gives you an output which is more intuitive to use, in some sense.
142
366000
3000
但是让人可以用的很自然
06:24
But I'm more excited that you can actually take it outside.
143
369000
3000
我更兴奋的是，可以带到户外去用
06:27
Rather than getting your camera out of your pocket,
144
372000
3000
不必掏出口袋里的照相机,
06:30
you can just do the gesture of taking a photo
145
375000
3000
只要一个照相的姿势
06:33
and it takes a photo for you.
146
378000
2000
它就替你照相了.
06:35
(Applause)
147
380000
4000
(掌声)
06:39
Thank you.
148
384000
1000
谢谢.
06:41
And later I can find a wall, anywhere,
149
386000
2000
拍完之后，我随便找一面墙,
06:43
and start browsing those photos
150
388000
2000
就开始浏览这些照片
06:45
or maybe, "OK, I want to modify this photo a little bit
151
390000
2000
或, "我想修改一下这些照片
06:47
and send it as an email to a friend."
152
392000
2000
然后用电子邮件寄给朋友."
06:49
So, we are looking for an era where
153
394000
3000
我们面对的世代是 --
06:52
computing will actually merge with the physical world.
154
397000
3000
与实体世界融合在一起的运算
06:55
And, of course, if you don't have any surface,
155
400000
3000
如果你没有平面可用，
06:58
you can start using your palm for simple operations.
156
403000
3000
手掌也可以处理简单的功能.
07:01
Here, I'm dialing a phone number just using my hand.
157
406000
2000
我在这里只用我的手，拨电话号码.
07:07
The camera is actually not only understanding your hand movements,
158
412000
3000
摄影机不只了解你手部的动作,
07:10
but, interestingly,
159
415000
1000
而且,
07:11
is also able to understand what objects you are holding in your hand.
160
416000
3000
它还知道在你手里拿着的是什么东西.
07:14
What we're doing here is actually --
161
419000
3000
我们现在正在做的是 --
07:17
for example, in this case,
162
422000
2000
举个例, 在这里,
07:19
the book cover is matched
163
424000
2000
这本书的封面
07:21
with so many thousands, or maybe millions of books online,
164
426000
3000
正在和在线的数以百万计的书封面比对,
07:24
and checking out which book it is.
165
429000
2000
找寻这是哪一本书.
07:26
Once it has that information,
166
431000
1000
一旦找到数据,
07:27
it finds out more reviews about that,
167
432000
2000
它会找到书评,
07:29
or maybe New York Times has a sound overview on that,
168
434000
3000
或者，可能纽约时报有个有声的简介,
07:32
so you can actually hear, on a physical book,
169
437000
2000
你就可以, 在实体书上，听到
07:34
a review as sound.
170
439000
2000
有声的书评.
07:36
("famous talk at Harvard University ...")
171
441000
2000
("哈佛大学的著名演讲 ...")
07:38
This was Obama's visit last week to MIT.
172
443000
3000
这是欧巴玛总统上周来MIT的演讲.
07:42
("... and particularly I want to thank two outstanding MIT ...")
173
447000
4000
("... 我特别要感谢2位MIT ...")
07:46
So, I was seeing the live [video] of his talk, outside, on just a newspaper.
174
451000
5000
我从报纸上,看到他演讲的实况录像.
07:51
Your newspaper will show you live weather information
175
456000
3000
你的报纸会给你看动态天气报导
07:54
rather than having it updated -- like, you have to check your computer
176
459000
3000
不必去更新数据 – 这原本，要上计算机
07:57
in order to do that, right?
177
462000
2000
才找得到, 是吗?
07:59
(Applause)
178
464000
5000
(掌声)
08:04
When I'm going back, I can just use my boarding pass
179
469000
3000
我回印度时, 我只要拿出我的登机证
08:07
to check how much my flight has been delayed,
180
472000
2000
就可以知道我的班机延误多久,
08:09
because at that particular time,
181
474000
2000
因为在这种时候,
08:11
I'm not feeling like opening my iPhone,
182
476000
2000
我不想打开iPhone,
08:13
and checking out a particular icon.
183
478000
2000
点选某个功能图案.
08:15
And I think this technology will not only change the way --
184
480000
3000
我相信这个技术不只改变--
08:18
yes. (Laughter)
185
483000
1000
是的. (笑声)
08:20
It will change the way we interact with people, also,
186
485000
2000
也会改变我们和别人的交流
08:22
not only the physical world.
187
487000
2000
不只在实体世界里.
08:24
The fun part is, I'm going to the Boston metro,
188
489000
3000
好玩的是，我在波士顿的捷运上
08:27
and playing a pong game inside the train
189
492000
3000
玩踢毽子游戏
08:30
on the ground, right?
190
495000
2000
在地上玩, 不错吧?
08:32
(Laughter)
191
497000
1000
(笑声)
08:33
And I think the imagination is the only limit
192
498000
2000
我相信，当这种技术和实体生活混在一起时
08:35
of what you can think of
193
500000
2000
想象力是唯一能限制--
08:37
when this kind of technology merges with real life.
194
502000
2000
我们的东西。
08:39
But many of you argue, actually, that
195
504000
2000
但很多人会说--
08:41
all of our work is not only about physical objects.
196
506000
3000
我的工作和实体物品没什么关系.
08:44
We actually do lots of accounting and paper editing
197
509000
3000
我们做的大多是会计、编辑这类的事
08:47
and all those kinds of things; what about that?
198
512000
2000
对于这些,你怎么处理?
08:49
And many of you are excited about the next generation tablet computers
199
514000
4000
很多人很期待新一代的平板计算机
08:53
to come out in the market.
200
518000
2000
上市
08:55
So, rather than waiting for that,
201
520000
2000
与其等待
08:57
I actually made my own, just using a piece of paper.
202
522000
3000
,我干脆自己做一个﹐只用了一张纸
09:00
So, what I did here is remove the camera --
203
525000
2000
我把录像机上的--
09:02
All the webcam cameras have a microphone inside the camera.
204
527000
4000
所有网络度影机上都有个麦克风 .
09:06
I removed the microphone from that,
205
531000
3000
我把麦克风拿下来
09:09
and then just pinched that --
206
534000
2000
夹在--
09:11
like I just made a clip out of the microphone --
207
536000
3000
就像是做了个夹式麦克风 --
09:14
and clipped that to a piece of paper, any paper that you found around.
208
539000
4000
夹在纸上, 随便的一张纸.
09:18
So now the sound of the touch
209
543000
3000
每当我碰到纸的时候，
09:21
is getting me when exactly I'm touching the paper.
210
546000
3000
这在纸上接触的声音就会通知计算机.
09:24
But the camera is actually tracking where my fingers are moving.
211
549000
4000
录像机还在追踪我的手指的移动
09:28
You can of course watch movies.
212
553000
3000
你当然也可以看电影
09:31
("Good afternoon. My name is Russell ...
213
556000
3000
("午安，我叫罗素 ...")
09:34
and I am a Wilderness Explorer in Tribe 54.")
214
559000
3000
("... 我是第54团的荒野探险者.")
09:37
And you can of course play games.
215
562000
3000
也可以玩游戏.
09:40
(Car engine)
216
565000
3000
(汽车引擎声)
09:43
Here, the camera is actually understanding how you're holding the paper
217
568000
3000
摄影机知道你拿纸的方向
09:46
and playing a car-racing game.
218
571000
2000
就可以玩赛车游戏
09:48
(Applause)
219
573000
3000
(掌声)
09:52
Many of you already must have thought, OK, you can browse.
220
577000
2000
很多人早又想到了，可以浏览
09:54
Yeah. Of course you can browse to any websites
221
579000
3000
对，当然可以浏览任何网站
09:57
or you can do all sorts of computing on a piece of paper
222
582000
3000
甚至在纸上做各种运算
10:00
wherever you need it.
223
585000
1000
在任何你需要的地方
10:01
So, more interestingly,
224
586000
3000
更有趣的是
10:04
I'm interested in how we can take that in a more dynamic way.
225
589000
3000
我想把这个功能变得更强大一点
10:07
When I come back to my desk I can just pinch that information
226
592000
3000
当我回到桌上，我可以捏住那个信息，--
10:10
back to my desktop
227
595000
2000
然后放到我的计算机屏幕上
10:12
so I can use my full-size computer.
228
597000
3000
这样我就可以用我的桌上计算机
10:15
(Applause)
229
600000
2000
(掌声)
10:17
And why only computers? We can just play with papers.
230
602000
3000
为什么要计算机? 用纸也很好玩.
10:20
Paper world is interesting to play with.
231
605000
3000
纸的世界很好玩.
10:23
Here, I'm taking a part of a document
232
608000
2000
我把文章的一部分
10:25
and putting over here a second part from a second place --
233
610000
4000
放在这里, 当成第二部份 --
10:29
and I'm actually modifying the information
234
614000
3000
然后调整--
10:32
that I have over there.
235
617000
2000
这里的信息.
10:34
Yeah. And I say, "OK, this looks nice,
236
619000
3000
好，然后我说, "OK, 这样很好,
10:37
let me print it out, that thing."
237
622000
2000
我要打印出来."
10:39
So I now have a print-out of that thing, and now --
238
624000
2000
就有了一份打印文件, 这样 --
10:41
the workflow is more intuitive the way we used to do it
239
626000
3000
工作流程比我们以前用的方式更人性了
10:44
maybe 20 years back,
240
629000
3000
像20年前的工作方式，
10:47
rather than now switching between these two worlds.
241
632000
3000
而不是像现在，要在两个世界里切换
10:50
So, as a last thought,
242
635000
3000
最后，
10:53
I think that integrating information to everyday objects
243
638000
3000
我相信把信息和所有对象整合，
10:56
will not only help us to get rid of the digital divide,
244
641000
5000
不仅可以消灭数字落差、
11:01
the gap between these two worlds,
245
646000
2000
把两个世界间的鸿沟填满,
11:03
but will also help us, in some way,
246
648000
2000
还可以帮助我们,
11:05
to stay human,
247
650000
2000
保有人性,
11:07
to be more connected to our physical world.
248
652000
3000
让我们和实体世界更连结.
11:13
And it will actually help us not end up being machines
249
658000
3000
最终会帮助我们，不要变成--
11:16
sitting in front of other machines.
250
661000
2000
坐在机器前面的另一部机器。
11:18
That's all. Thank you.
251
663000
3000
就这样. 谢谢.
11:21
(Applause)
252
666000
14000
(掌声)
11:35
Thank you.
253
680000
1000
谢谢.
11:36
(Applause)
254
681000
3000
(掌声)
11:39
Chris Anderson: So, Pranav,
255
684000
1000
Chris Anderson: 嗯﹐Pranav,
11:40
first of all, you're a genius.
256
685000
3000
首先，你是个天才.
11:43
This is incredible, really.
257
688000
3000
这真的太棒了,真的
11:46
What are you doing with this? Is there a company being planned?
258
691000
3000
你预备怎么做? 你想开个公司吗﹖
11:49
Or is this research forever, or what?
259
694000
2000
还是一直继续研究下去?还是有其它的打算?
11:51
Pranav Mistry: So, there are lots of companies --
260
696000
2000
Pranav Mistry: 很多公司 --
11:53
actually sponsor companies of Media Lab --
261
698000
1000
就是 Medi L b的赞助者 --
11:54
interested in taking this ahead in one or another way.
262
699000
3000
有兴趣以其它方法继续研究
11:57
Companies like mobile phone operators
263
702000
2000
像行动通讯公司
11:59
want to take this in a different way than the NGOs in India,
264
704000
3000
和印度非营利机构的应用方法便不同
12:02
[who] are thinking, "Why can we only have 'Sixth Sense'?
265
707000
3000
这些机构想 "为什么只有'第六感'?
12:05
We should have a 'Fifth Sense' for missing-sense people
266
710000
2000
我们应该为残障人士，设置第五感
12:07
who cannot speak.
267
712000
1000
如，哑巴.
12:08
This technology can be used for them to speak out in a different way
268
713000
3000
这种技术可以让他们用另一种方式「说」出来
12:11
with maybe a speaker system."
269
716000
1000
配个喇叭就可以."
12:12
CA: What are your own plans? Are you staying at MIT,
270
717000
3000
C : 你自己的打算呢? 要留在MIT吗
12:15
or are you going to do something with this?
271
720000
1000
还是你也要参与这些计划?
12:16
PM: I'm trying to make this more available to people
272
721000
2000
PM: 我正试着让这技术更广泛的被人们使用
12:18
so that anyone can develop their own SixthSense device,
273
723000
3000
让大家都能开发自己的"第六感"装置
12:21
because the hardware is actually not that hard to manufacture
274
726000
5000
因为硬件其实不难制造
12:26
or hard to make your own.
275
731000
2000
自己做也不难
12:28
We will provide all the open source software for them,
276
733000
2000
我们会提供开放式程序代码软件给大家
12:30
maybe starting next month.
277
735000
2000
可能下个月就可以
12:32
CA: Open source? Wow.
278
737000
2000
C :开放程序代码﹖哇
12:34
(Applause)
279
739000
5000
(掌声)
12:39
CA: Are you going to come back to India with some of this, at some point?
280
744000
3000
C : 你会回到印度做这些计划吗?
12:42
PM: Yeah. Yes, yes, of course.
281
747000
2000
PM: 是，是，当然.
12:44
CA: What are your plans? MIT?
282
749000
2000
C : 你的计划呢? MIT?
12:46
India? How are you going to split your time going forward?
283
751000
2000
印度? 未来怎样分配你的时间?
12:48
PM: There is a lot of energy here. Lots of learning.
284
753000
3000
PM: 这里有很大的能量. 很多东西可以学
12:51
All of this work that you have seen is all about
285
756000
2000
你刚刚看到的，都是我在
12:53
my learning in India.
286
758000
2000
印度学的.
12:55
And now, if you see, it's more about the cost-effectiveness:
287
760000
3000
往成本效益方面去考虑:
12:58
this system costs you $300
288
763000
2000
这个系统只要300美元
13:00
compared to the $20,000 surface tables, or anything like that.
289
765000
3000
和2万美元的桌面计算机相比
13:03
Or maybe even the $2 mouse gesture system
290
768000
3000
或甚至2块美元的鼠标
13:06
at that time was costing around $5,000?
291
771000
3000
当年可能要价 5,000 美元?
13:09
So, we actually -- I showed that, at a conference, to
292
774000
4000
不久前，我把这东西展示给
13:13
President Abdul Kalam, at that time,
293
778000
2000
印度总统看
13:15
and then he said, "OK, we should use this in Bhabha Atomic Research Centre
294
780000
3000
他说: "我们应该在原子研究所里
13:18
for some use of that."
295
783000
2000
用这个技术做些研究."
13:20
So I'm excited about how I can bring the technology to the masses
296
785000
3000
我很期待可以把这些技术带给普罗大众
13:23
rather than just keeping that technology in the lab environment.
297
788000
3000
而不是把这些技术留在实验室里
13:26
(Applause)
298
791000
4000
(掌声)
13:30
CA: Based on the people we've seen at TED,
299
795000
3000
C : 我们在 TED,遇过的人之中
13:33
I would say you're truly one of the two or three
300
798000
1000
我可以说你是少数2-3个
13:34
best inventors in the world right now.
301
799000
2000
世界上顶尖的发明家之一
13:36
It's an honor to have you at TED.
302
801000
2000
TED很荣幸邀你来演讲.
13:38
Thank you so much.
303
803000
2000
非常感谢.
13:40
That's fantastic.
304
805000
1000
真是太棒了.
13:41
(Applause)
305
806000

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Pranav Mistry - Director of research, Samsung Research AmericaAs an MIT grad student, Pranav Mistry invented SixthSense, a wearable device that enables new interactions between the real world and the world of data.
Why you should listen
When Pranav Mistry was a PhD student in the Fluid Interfaces Group at MIT's Media Lab, he worked with lab director Pattie Maes to create some of the most entertaining and thought-provoking interfaces the world had ever seen. And not just computer interfaces, mind you -- these are ways to help the digital and the actual worlds interface. Imagine: intelligent sticky notes, Quickies, that can be searched and can send reminders; a pen that draws in 3D; and TaPuMa, a tangible public map that can act as Google of physical world. And of course the legendary SixthSense, which is now open sourced
Before his studies at MIT, he worked with Microsoft as a UX researcher; he's a graduate of IIT. Now, as director of research at Samsung Research America, Mistry heads the Think Tank Team, an interdisciplinary group of researchers that hunts for new ways to mix digital informational with real-world interactions. As an example, Mistry launched the company's smartwatch, the Galaxy Gear, in 2013.
