century of computing
were reduced to live in 2D space,
人類活喺二維空間嘅時代
as if we were machines;
in the vastness of time
tapping and looking at screens.
with each other?
of monitors and pixels.
同埋我想同人交流嘅想法
to create a new reality,
us infinitely closer to each other,
senses what we see, touch and feel;
人嘅所見所聞、所感覺嘅嘢
no longer gets in our way,
to act more like people,
聲控同埋生物統計嘅產品
voice controls or biometrics.
微軟公司嘅全息眼鏡
holographic computer.
3D holographic content
about a distant future.
car companies like Volvo
已經用緊全息眼鏡設計汽車
redefining the way medical students learn;
用緊全息眼鏡學習
to let scientists explore planets
等科學家可以探索星球
或者更高級嘅電腦
or a better computer.
from the 2D confines
喺傳統二維空間裏面解放出嚟
cave people in computer terms.
畫第一幅線條圖畫
the first stick figures in our cave.
I apply to my work every single day.
我每日做嘢嘅情景
the same perspective
we have ever done on any stage
to do it than here at TED.
更加適合做示範嘅場所
to be seeing holograms
we have also this special camera
in this experience with me
to begin our journey,
all around us with this new lens,
from a brand new perspective.
is both marvelous and primitive.
又係基於因果定律
the different causes
to our physical universe,
唔似數碼世界嘅數字斷斷續續
in terms of zero or one,
governed by quantum physics,
both at the same time,
probabilities and shades of gray.
同無窮無盡嘅可能性
同數碼兩個世界點樣有衝突
in our analog life?
連貫嘅生活裏面咁普遍呢?
give us superpowers.
we have the power to displace space
工作上,抑或通訊上
technology for entertainment,
and space displaced.
my lovely family in Seattle.
the two-dimensional limitations
these same digital powers
devoid of 2D technology.
truly understands us --
the human experience,
looking at the problem
去睇呢個世界
from the perspective of a machine.
to sense our world,
break the problem down?
then interact with reality?
又點樣同現實世界互動呢?
and biometric authentication
interacting with humans
or output information,
interacting with an environment
觸覺同世界交換能量
with the world via haptics.
the temperature of a virtual object,
with equal force.
into a simple matrix.
拆散爲一個簡單模組
something to the matrix.
可以簡化爲一個模組
of understanding our world.
操控世上所有事物
your entire environment
understands our world,
the ways we interact,
than the phones in your pockets.
and their children
exploration of space
that understands this world.
real-time universal translators exist.
see holographic telepresence
with our demo so far,
even more crazy.
Dr. Jeffrey Norris,
Jeffrey Norris 博士傾計
成功咗,今日點樣呀,Jeff?
How are you doing today, Jeff?
好好呀我,過去個禮拜都唔錯
講下你宜家喺邊?
Jeff, about where you are?
a hundred million miles away.
miles away. This is crazy!
點樣收集到火星嘅數據?
about where all this data
holographic replica of Mars,
收集返嚟嘅數據
by the Curiosity Mars Rover,
身在地球都可以探索火星
as a place on Earth.
understand an environment,
Mars Rover 嘅工具
and lengthen our reach.
屏幕同鍵盤探索
behind screens and keyboards.
and the relay satellites
as if we were truly there.
on our mission
a little more familiar,
as humans should.
with making it just like being there.
to the virtual,
in a rock just by touching it.
to join us in taking the next,
同我哋一齊踏出下一步
on the TED stage today.
where we interacted,
that will enable us to return
當初、成就今日我哋嘅時間
where we are today --
inside this 2D world
what it feels like
真係唔該曬。我有問題想問
I have some questions.
some talk in the press.
then we have a straight answer.
同真正產品有咩唔同
between the demos
係咪就可以有頭先嘅體驗?
who buys the product will get?
we've been receiving
都有問過呢個問題
I haven't answered that question.
it's the wrong question to ask.
holograms to someone for the first time,
展示全息圖之後
"What's the size of your television?"
is almost irrelevant.
is the density of lights,
is of the things that you see.
is wearing a HoloLens.
同你眼睛嘅晶體係唔同嘅
on it than our eye. Right?
than the human eye is.
that show up radially
得到幾多光點?
can I get in a given volume?
同攝影機嘅一樣
on this HoloLens as I will on that one.
更加廣嘅角度,係咪?
a much wider view of the world, right?
I told you he'd show up.
but I really wasn't sure what.
有人眼視角更加廣嘅視角
has a wider field of view
of the holograms that you see,
我陣間會再同你講
I'll get to you in a minute --
mapping the stage --
我間屋,係咪?
at about five frames per second,
that we call spatial mapping.
and you'll start placing them
to get something on my head
that usually brings all conferences down,
of trying to do this live.
圖像繪製咗成個舞臺
at five frames per second
of wireless in an environment like this,
and the one on my head,
都唔會有圖像消失
are coming from this HoloLens,
beautiful things on the screen.
你頭先喺火星
又喺對面街一間房
in a room across the street.
with holograms, you have sight
you don't have smell.
that these technologies
in multiple parts of our work at NASA.
部分美國太空總署嘅任務
the ways that we explore Mars.
on the space station.
Thank you very much.
Thank you so much.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Why you should listen
In 2001, after graduating from RIT, Technical Fellow and inventor Alex Kipman joined Microsoft. In 2008 he created Kinect, the motion controller that revolutionized gaming and became the fastest-selling consumer device of all time, selling one million units on its first day of release.
Now Kipman has unveiled HoloLens, a jaw dropping device that turns everyday environments into interactive holographic worlds, mixing digital content right into our world. In addition to marking Microsoft's first foray into HMDs, HoloLens has the potential to turn computing as we know it inside out
