El disseny electrònic és generalment aparatós i costós -- més aviat ho era, fins que Leah Buechley i el seu equip a MIT han desenvolupat eines per a tractar l'electrònica com si fos llàpis i paper. En aquesta xerrada de TEDYouth 2011, Buechley mostra alguns dels seus captivadors dissenys, com ara un piano que es pot esbossar i fer sonar.

Today, I'm going to talk to you about sketching electronics.

Avui, us parlaré de com fer esbossos electrònics.
00:21
I'm, among several other things, an electrical engineer,
1
5193
5368
Sóc, entre d'altres coses, enginyera elèctrica,
00:26
and that means that I spend a good amount of time
2
10561
3697
i això implica que passo bastant de temps
00:30
designing and building new pieces of technology,
3
14258
4374
dissenyant i construint noves peces de tecnologia,
00:34
and more specifically designing and building electronics.
4
18632
4540
més concretament dissenyant i construint aparats electrònics.
00:39
And what I've found is that the process of designing
5
23172
4358
I el que he descobert que el procés de dissenyar
00:43
and building electronics is problematic in all sorts of ways.
6
27530
5594
i construir aparats electrònics és problemàtic en molts sentits.
00:49
So it's a really slow process, it's really expensive,
7
33124
4841
És un procés molt lent, és molt costós,
00:53
and the outcome of that process,
8
37965
2440
i el resultat d'aquest procés,
00:56
namely electronic circuit boards,
9
40405
2416
és a dir, les plaques de circuit impresses,
00:58
are limited in all sorts of kind of interesting ways.
10
42821
3029
estan limitades en diversos sentits molt interessants.
01:01
So they're really small, generally, they're square
11
45850
3640
Són molt petites generalment, són quadrades,
01:05
and flat and hard, and frankly, most of them
12
49490
4365
planes i rígides i, sincerament, la majoria
01:09
just aren't very attractive, and so my team and I
13
53855
4313
són poc atractives. Llavors el meu equip i jo
01:14
have been thinking of ways to really change and mix up
14
58168
3988
hem pensat maneres de transformar i remesclar de debò
01:18
the process and the outcome of designing electronics.
15
62156
4661
el procés i el resultat del diseny d'aparats electrònics.
01:22
And so what if you could design and build electronics
16
66817
4088
I si puguéssim dissenyar i construir aparats electrònics així?
01:26
like this? So what if you could do it extremely quickly,
17
70905
4040
I si poguéssim fer-ho molt ràpidament,
01:30
extremely inexpensively, and maybe more interestingly,
18
74945
5665
per un cost extremadament baix, i el que és més interessant,
01:36
really fluidly and expressively and even improvisationally?
19
80610
5264
amb fluidesa, expressivitat i fins i tot un punt d'improvisació?
01:41
Wouldn't that be so cool, and that wouldn't that open up
20
85874
3322
Oi que seria genial, i que obriria
01:45
all sorts of new possibilities?
21
89196
2448
un ventall de noves possibilitats?
01:47
I'm going to share with you two projects that are
22
91644
3384
Vull compartir amb vosaltres dos projectes que són
01:50
investigations along these lines, and we'll start with this one.
23
95028
4709
investigacions seguint aquestes línies, i començarem amb aquest.
01:55
(Video) Magnetic electronic pieces and ferrous paper.
24
99737
5737
(Vídeo) Peces electròniques magnètiques i paper ferrós.

03:12

03:20
(Music)
32
184268
7799
(Música)
03:29
(Laughter)
33
193635
4170
(Riures)
03:33
(Applause)
34
197805
5706
(Aplaudiments)
03:39
Pretty cool, huh? We think so.
35
203511
2997
És molt guai oi? Això pensem nosaltres.
03:42
So now that we developed these tools
36
206508
3784
Així que ara que hem desenvolupat aquestes eines
03:46
and found these materials that let us do these things,
37
210292
3738
i hem descobert els materials que ens permeten fer aquestes coses,
03:49
we started to realize that, essentially, anything
38
214030
4168
hem començat a adornar-nos que, bàsicament,
03:54
that we can do with paper, anything that we can do
39
218198
2384
qualsevol cosa que puguem fer amb paper, o que puguem fer
03:56
with a piece of paper and a pen
40
220582
2415
amb un foli i un llapis
03:58
we can now do with electronics.
41
222997
2417
ara també és possible fer-la electrònica.
04:01
So the next project that I want to show you is kind of a
42
225414
2368
El projecte que vull mostrar-vos és com
04:03
deeper exploration of that possibility.
43
227782
3560
un estudi més en detall d'aquesta possibilitat.
04:07
And I'll kind of let it speak for itself.
44
231342
3864
Deixaré que es presenti ell mateix.
04:11
(Music)
45
235206
90446
(Música)
05:41
(Applause)
46
325652
5368
(Aplaudiments)
05:46
So the next step for us in this process
47
331020
4800
La pròxima meta que ens hem marcat en aquest procés
05:51
is now to find a way to let all of you
48
335820
3728
és trobar la manera de que tots vosaltres
05:55
build things like this,
49
339548
2896
pugueu construir coses així,
05:58
and so the way that we're approaching that is by
50
342444
3080
i la forma en que duem a terme tal cosa és
06:01
teaching workshops to people where we explain
51
345524
2607
impartint tallers a persones en els que aprenen
06:04
how they can use these kinds of tools, and then also
52
348131
3113
com utilitzar aquest tipus d'eines, i a més a més
06:07
working to get the tools and the materials and techniques
53
351244
3742
treballem per a aplicar aquests materials i aquestes tècniques
06:10
out into the real world in a variety of ways.
54
354986
3750
al món real de formes diverses.
06:14
And so sometime soon, you'll be able to play and build
55
358736
3584
Molt aviat podreu fer música, construir
06:18
and sketch with electronics in this fundamentally new way.
56
362320
3794
i esbossar aparats electrònics d'aquesta forma tan innovadora.
06:22
So thank you very much. (Applause)
57
366114
4000
Moltes gràcies. (Aplaudiments)
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Leah Buechley - DesignerLeah Buechley is an MIT electronics designer who mixes high and low tech to create smart and playful results.
Why you should listen
Electronics aren't just for experts and engineers. Kids and amateurs should be able to play, too, which is why Leah Buechley designs little paper-based electronics for "sketching" and interactive electronic fashion for tinkering. Buechley designs and creates electronic textiles, or e-textiles, like this jacket that can signal which way you're turning on your bike. She's an assistant professor of Media Arts and Sciences at the MIT Media Lab, where she also directs the High-Low Tech research group.
