peritos na criação de interfaces
very adept at creating interfaces
enquanto nos focamos noutras coisas,
while you're attending to other things,
e mudar a focagem
and changing the focus
changed the way we think about tools
o modo como pensamos nas ferramentas
de diferentes aplicações.
têm a mesma forma física estática
the same static physical form
de interface estáticos.
interface elements as well.
um problema,
is fundamentally a problem,
interagir com as nossas mãos
to interact with our hands
que temos nos nossos corpos.
that we have in our bodies.
we must need new types of interfaces
de novos tipos de interfaces

e os arquitetos constroem modelos físicos
and architects build physical models
to better understand them.
para melhor os compreenderem.
uma interface sobre inFORM
we created an interface built on inFORM

to design and view entire cities.
but it's dynamic, it's physical,
pois é dinâmica e física

podemos alcançar além do ecrã
you can reach out from the screen
para representar as mãos das pessoas,

about a new, fundamentally different way
numa nova e fundamental forma
adaptar-se fisicamente a nós,
that can physically adapt to us
that we want to use them
das nossas mãos
that we have of our hands,
espacialmente, tornando-as físicas.
about information by making it physical.
to go beyond this, beyond devices,
que temos que ir além dos dispositivos,
de aproximar as pessoas,
that we can bring people together,
que se adaptem a nós fisicamente.
