When I was a kid,
0
2134
1159
当我还是个小孩子的时候，
00:15
I experienced something so powerful,
1
3317
2508
我经历了一件很震撼人心的事情，
00:17
I spent the rest of my life
searching for it,
searching for it,
2
5849
3074
我在接下来的生活中
一直在找寻它，
一直在找寻它，
00:20
and in all the wrong places.
3
8947
1512
却总找错了地方。
00:23
What I experienced wasn't virtual reality.
4
11327
2593
我经历的并不是虚拟现实。
00:26
It was music.
5
14633
1183
而是音乐。
00:28
And this is where the story begins.
6
16251
2296
而这，就是故事开始的地方。
00:31
That's me,
7
19797
1370
那是我，
00:33
listening to the Beatles' "White Album."
8
21191
1946
正在听披头士的《白色专辑》。
00:35
And the look on my face is the feeling
9
23161
3168
而我脸上的表情
就是一直以来我在寻找的感觉。
00:38
that I've been searching for ever since.
10
26353
2746
00:41
Music goes straight to the emotional vein,
11
29938
2586
音乐触动你感情的心弦，
00:44
into your bloodstream
12
32548
1606
融入你的血流，
00:46
and right into your heart.
13
34178
1331
直达你的内心。
00:48
It deepens every experience.
14
36157
2521
它会加深所有的体验。
00:51
Fellas?
15
39717
1166
伙伴们？
00:53
(Music)
16
41454
4218
（音乐）
00:59
This is the amazing McKenzie Stubbert
17
47472
2152
这是我们最棒的McKenzie Stubbert
01:01
and Joshua Roman.
18
49648
1879
和Joshua Roman。
01:03
Music --
19
51551
1163
音乐 --
01:04
(Applause)
20
52738
1194
（掌声）
01:05
Yeah.
21
53956
1158
是的。
01:08
Music makes everything
have more emotional resonance.
have more emotional resonance.
22
56630
3825
音乐让一切事物拥有更多的情感共鸣。
01:13
Let's see how it does for this talk.
23
61229
1929
让我们看看它对这次演讲的效果如何。
01:15
The right piece of music
at the right time fuses with us
at the right time fuses with us
24
63825
3744
适当时机，恰到好处的音乐片段
会在细胞层面
会在细胞层面
01:19
on a cellular level.
25
67593
1325
与我们融为一体。
01:21
When I hear that one song
26
69382
2280
当我听着那首歌
01:24
from that one summer
27
72502
1303
在那个夏天
01:26
with that one girl,
28
74488
1177
和那个姑娘，
01:28
I'm instantly transported
back there again.
back there again.
29
76480
2021
刹那间，我仿佛回到了过去。
01:31
Hey, Stacey.
30
79963
1167
嗨，Stacey。
01:34
Here's a part of the story, though,
where I got a little greedy.
where I got a little greedy.
31
82908
3278
接下来是故事的一部分，
尽管我有些贪心。
尽管我有些贪心。
01:38
I thought if I added more layers
on top of the music,
on top of the music,
32
86210
3598
我想如果在音乐之上
再多加一些层次，
再多加一些层次，
01:42
I could make the feelings
even more powerful.
even more powerful.
33
90394
3252
我可以让情感更加强烈。
01:45
So I got into directing music videos.
34
93670
2834
所以我开始导演音乐视频。
01:49
This is what they looked like.
35
97432
1474
这是那些音乐的模样
01:54
That's my brother, Jeff.
36
102429
1243
那是我的兄弟，Jeff。
01:56
Sorry about this, Jeff.
37
104799
1322
不好意思了，Jeff。
01:58
(Laughter)
38
106145
1087
（笑声）
01:59
Here's me, just so we're even.
39
107256
1947
这是我，这样我们就扯平了。
02:02
Incredible moves.
40
110682
1203
难以置信的动作。
02:04
Should've been a dancer.
41
112444
1341
我应该成为一名舞蹈家的。
02:05
(Laughter)
42
113809
1122
（笑声）
02:06
These experiments grew,
43
114955
1312
这些实验在不断进步，
02:08
and in time, started
to look more like this.
to look more like this.
44
116291
2784
并且最终看起来像这样。
02:13
In both, I'm searching
for the same thing, though,
for the same thing, though,
45
121852
2640
在这两者之中，
我都在找寻相同的东西，
我都在找寻相同的东西，
02:16
to capture that lightning in a bottle.
46
124516
2659
将那道闪光捕获于瓶中。
02:20
Except, I'm not.
47
128192
1673
然而，我并没有做到。
02:21
Adding moving pictures over the music
added narrative dimension, yes,
added narrative dimension, yes,
48
129889
3559
在音乐之上增加动画，
这确实增加了一个叙述维度，
这确实增加了一个叙述维度，
02:26
but never quite equated the power
49
134261
2524
却永远不能等同于
单纯原始的音乐本身所带来的力量。
02:28
that just raw music had for me on its own.
50
136809
2744
02:32
This is not a great thing to realize
when you've devoted your life
when you've devoted your life
51
140795
3154
意识到这种结论并不是件很棒的事情，
尤其是当你已经全身心地把你的生活
尤其是当你已经全身心地把你的生活
02:35
and professional career
to becoming a music video director.
to becoming a music video director.
52
143973
2839
和职业生涯投入到
成为一名音乐视频导演的时候。
成为一名音乐视频导演的时候。
我时常扪心自问，
我选择了错误的路线吗？
我选择了错误的路线吗？
02:38
I kept asking myself,
did I take the wrong path?
did I take the wrong path?
53
146836
2301
02:42
So I started thinking: if I could
involve you, the audience, more,
involve you, the audience, more,
54
150353
3851
然后我开始思考：如果我可以
让身为观众的你们更加投入，
让身为观众的你们更加投入，
02:46
I might be able to make you
feel something more as well.
feel something more as well.
55
154228
3002
也许就可以让你们感受到更多。
02:49
So Aaron Koblin and I began
auditioning new technologies
auditioning new technologies
56
157901
3185
所以Aaron Koblin和我开始试镜新的技术，
02:53
that could put more of you
inside of the work,
inside of the work,
57
161110
3138
让你们可以更多地进入作品中，
02:56
like your childhood home
in "The Wilderness Downtown,"
in "The Wilderness Downtown,"
58
164272
3634
就像在《The Wilderness Downtown》中
你们童年时期的家，
你们童年时期的家，
03:00
your hand-drawn portraits,
in "The Johnny Cash Project,"
in "The Johnny Cash Project,"
59
168750
3760
《The Johnny Cash Project》中
你们手绘的肖像，
你们手绘的肖像，
03:05
and your interactive dreams
60
173581
1400
以及《3 Dreams of Black》中
03:07
in "3 Dreams of Black."
61
175791
1697
你们那可以触摸的梦想。
03:11
We were pushing beyond the screen,
62
179469
1957
我们在努力突破屏幕，
03:13
trying to connect more deeply
63
181450
1981
试图更加深刻地连接
03:15
to people's hearts and imaginations.
64
183455
2377
人们的内心与想象。
03:18
But it wasn't quite enough.
65
186745
1346
但这还不完全足够。
03:21
It still didn't have the raw
experiential power of pure music for me.
experiential power of pure music for me.
66
189258
4799
它还是没有那种单纯音乐带给我的
原始而又影响深远的震撼。
原始而又影响深远的震撼。
03:27
So I started chasing a new technology
67
195443
2061
所以我开始追寻一种新的技术
03:29
that I only had read about
in science fiction.
in science fiction.
68
197528
2699
我只在科幻小说中读到过它。
03:32
And after years of searching,
I found a prototype.
I found a prototype.
69
200826
2409
在多年的探寻之后，
我找到了一个原型。
我找到了一个原型。
03:35
It was a project from Nonny de la Peña
in Mark Bolas's lab in USC.
in Mark Bolas's lab in USC.
70
203871
4224
它是南加州大学Mark Bolas实验室
Nonny de la Peña的一个项目。
Nonny de la Peña的一个项目。
03:41
And when I tried it, I knew I'd found it.
71
209102
3068
当我尝试它的时候，
我知道我找到它了。
我知道我找到它了。
03:45
I could taste the lightning.
72
213095
1492
我可以捉到那道光了。
03:47
It was called virtual reality.
73
215334
1650
它叫做虚拟现实。
03:50
This was it five years ago
when I ran into it.
when I ran into it.
74
218047
2256
这是五年前我遇见它时的样子。
03:53
This is what it looks like now.
75
221530
2062
这是它现在看起来的样子。
03:56
I quickly started building things
in this new medium,
in this new medium,
76
224846
3905
我迅速地开始在这个新媒介中构建作品，
04:00
and through that process
we realized something:
we realized something:
77
228775
2217
在那个过程中我们意识到了一些东西：
04:03
that VR is going to play
an incredibly important role
an incredibly important role
78
231664
3417
虚拟现实将会在媒介的历史中
04:07
in the history of mediums.
79
235105
1715
扮演不可思议的角色。
04:09
In fact, it's going to be the last one.
80
237681
2717
事实上，它将会是最后一个媒介。
04:13
I mean this because it's the first medium
that actually makes the jump
that actually makes the jump
81
241390
3615
我这么说是因为它是第一个这样的媒介，
04:17
from our internalization
of an author's expression
of an author's expression
82
245029
3288
实现了从我们将作者对某一体验的表达
04:20
of an experience,
83
248341
1670
的内在想象化
04:22
to our experiencing it firsthand.
84
250035
2652
到我们对它第一手的体验的跳跃。
04:25
You look confused.
I'll explain. Don't worry.
I'll explain. Don't worry.
85
253691
2164
你看起来很迷茫。
我会解释的。别担心。
我会解释的。别担心。
（笑声）
04:27
(Laughter)
86
255879
1394
04:29
If we go back to the origins of mediums,
87
257830
3190
如果我们通过所有最美好的幻想
04:33
by all best guesses,
88
261044
1364
追溯媒体的起源，
04:34
it starts around a fire,
with a good story.
with a good story.
89
262432
2966
它开始于火堆旁一个不错的故事。
04:37
Our clan leader is telling us
90
265986
1465
我们部落的首领正在给我们讲述
04:39
about how he hunted the woolly mammoth
on the tundra that day.
on the tundra that day.
91
267475
3629
有一天他是如何在苔原上
捕获到毛茸茸的猛犸象的故事。
捕获到毛茸茸的猛犸象的故事。
04:44
We hear his words
92
272069
1339
我们听着他的描述，
04:46
and translate them
into our own internal truths.
into our own internal truths.
93
274090
3273
然后将其翻译成我们脑海中的形象。
04:50
The same thing happens
94
278839
1165
同样的事情也发生在
04:52
when we look at the cave painting
version of the story,
version of the story,
95
280028
2642
当我们看着洞穴壁画上的故事，
04:56
the book about the mammoth hunt,
96
284241
1583
看着关于捕获猛犸象的书，
04:58
the play,
97
286472
1234
看着戏剧，
05:00
the radio broadcast,
98
288109
1186
听着广播，
05:01
the television show
99
289749
1165
看着电视剧，
05:03
or the movie.
100
291582
1155
或者电影的时候。
05:05
All of these mediums require
what we call "suspension of disbelief,"
what we call "suspension of disbelief,"
101
293532
3732
所有的这些媒介都要求我们
“暂停怀疑”，
“暂停怀疑”，
05:09
because there's a translation gap
between the reality of the story
between the reality of the story
102
297288
4058
因为在故事的真实性
和我们的意识将故事解释
成我们相信的现实之间
成我们相信的现实之间
05:13
and our consciousness
interpreting the story
interpreting the story
103
301370
3422
05:16
into our reality.
104
304816
1268
有一个翻译间隔。
05:19
I'm using the word "consciousness"
as a feeling of reality that we get
as a feeling of reality that we get
105
307081
4076
我用了“意识”这个词来表示一种
我们的感知从对周围世界的体验
而获得的对现实的感受。
而获得的对现实的感受。
05:23
from our senses experiencing
the world around us.
the world around us.
106
311181
3336
05:28
Virtual reality bridges that gap.
107
316580
2797
虚拟现实连接了那个间隔。
05:31
Now, you are on the tundra
hunting with the clan leader.
hunting with the clan leader.
108
319985
4213
现在，你就在苔原上
和部落首领一起打猎，
和部落首领一起打猎，
05:36
Or you are the clan leader.
109
324222
2354
或者，你就是那个部落首领。
05:38
Or maybe you're even the woolly mammoth.
110
326600
2702
又或者，你甚至可能
是那个毛绒绒的猛犸象。
是那个毛绒绒的猛犸象。
05:41
(Laughter)
111
329326
1635
（笑声）
05:46
So here's what special about VR.
112
334218
1612
所以这就是虚拟现实的特别之处。
05:48
In all other mediums,
113
336726
1579
在所有其他的媒介中，
05:50
your consciousness interprets the medium.
114
338329
2270
你的意识会翻译媒介。
05:53
In VR, your consciousness is the medium.
115
341044
4170
在虚拟现实中，你的意识就是媒介。
05:58
So the potential for VR is enormous.
116
346399
2434
所以虚拟现实的潜力是巨大的。
06:00
But where are we now?
117
348857
1674
但是我们现在在哪儿？
06:02
What is the current state of the art?
118
350555
2586
这项艺术的当前状况是怎样的？
06:06
Well,
119
354318
1150
好吧，
06:08
we are here.
120
356746
1189
我们在这里。
06:10
We are the equivalent
of year one of cinema.
of year one of cinema.
121
358724
3148
我们相当于在电影技术的第一年。
06:13
This is the Lumière Brothers film
122
361896
1626
这是Lumière Brothers的电影
06:15
that allegedly sent a theater full
of people running for their lives
of people running for their lives
123
363546
3359
据说使一整间电影院的人都逃命去了
06:18
as they thought a train
was coming toward them.
was coming toward them.
124
366929
2293
因为他们觉得一列火车正向他们驶来。
06:22
Similar to this early stage
of this medium,
of this medium,
125
370136
3276
和电影的早期阶段相似，
06:25
in VR, we also have to move
past the spectacle
past the spectacle
126
373436
3541
在虚拟现实中，
我们也必须习惯这种震撼
我们也必须习惯这种震撼
06:29
and into the storytelling.
127
377001
1886
从而能够进入故事之中。
06:30
It took this medium decades
128
378911
1747
它花费了电影几十年的时间
06:32
to figure out its preferred
language of storytelling,
language of storytelling,
129
380682
2658
去弄清以故事片的形式去表达
06:35
in the form of a feature film.
130
383364
1776
才是其最适合的讲故事的方式。
06:37
In VR today, we're more learning grammar
131
385164
3354
在现今的虚拟现实中，
我们更多的是在学习语法
我们更多的是在学习语法
06:40
than writing language.
132
388542
1291
而不是书写内容。
06:42
We've made 15 films in the last year
at our VR company, Vrse,
at our VR company, Vrse,
133
390880
3551
我们的虚拟现实公司，Vrse，
在过去的一年中拍摄了15部电影，
在过去的一年中拍摄了15部电影，
06:46
and we've learned a few things.
134
394455
1617
我们从中学到了一些东西。
06:48
We found that we have a unique,
direct path into your senses,
direct path into your senses,
135
396801
3315
我们发现我们拥有一个独特的方式
直达你们的感知，
直达你们的感知，
06:52
your emotions, even your body.
136
400140
2809
你们的情绪，甚至你们的身体。
06:55
So let me show you some things.
137
403897
1675
所以让我给你们看一些东西。
06:57
For the purpose of this demo,
138
405596
1398
为了这个展示的目的，
06:59
we're going to take every direction
that you could possibly look,
that you could possibly look,
139
407018
3065
我们准备把你们可能看到的每个方向，
都延伸进这个巨大的屏幕方框内。
07:02
and stretch it into this giant rectangle.
140
410107
2213
07:05
OK, here we go.
141
413083
1950
好的，我们开始了。
07:09
So, first: camera movement
is tricky in VR.
is tricky in VR.
142
417642

那么，首先：
镜头移动在虚拟现实中很难掌控。
镜头移动在虚拟现实中很难掌控。
07:13
Done wrong, it can actually make you sick.
143
421947
2102
弄的不好的话，会让你觉得不舒服。
07:16
We found if you move the camera
at a constant speed in a straight line,
at a constant speed in a straight line,
144
424930
4499
我们发现如果你以一种稳定的速度
在一条直线上移动镜头，
在一条直线上移动镜头，
07:21
you can actually get away with it, though.
145
429453
2217
你就不会觉得不舒服。
07:23
The first day in film school,
146
431694
1727
在电影学院的第一天，
07:25
they told me you have to learn
every single rule
every single rule
147
433445
2587
他们告诉我，在打破规则之前
07:28
before you can break one.
148
436056
1758
你要先学会每一条规则。
07:29
We have not learned every single rule.
149
437838
2174
我们还没有学会每一条规则。
07:32
We've barely learned any at all,
150
440036
1528
我们几乎还没学会什么，
07:33
but we're already trying to break them
151
441588
1817
但是我们已经开始尝试打破规则
07:35
to see what kind of creative things
we can accomplish.
we can accomplish.
152
443429
2529
去看看我们可以实现什么样的
创造性的新事物。
创造性的新事物。
在这一幕里，当我们
从地面上升起的时候我加快了速度。
从地面上升起的时候我加快了速度。
07:37
In this shot here, where we're moving up
off the ground, I added acceleration.
off the ground, I added acceleration.
153
445982
3712
07:41
I did that because I wanted
to give you a physical sensation
to give you a physical sensation
154
449718
2833
我这么做是因为我想要给你们一种
07:44
of moving up off the ground.
155
452575
1383
从地面升起的物理感受。
07:45
In VR, I can give that to you.
156
453982
2493
在虚拟现实中，
我可以给你们这种体验。
我可以给你们这种体验。
07:49
(Music)

（音乐）
07:55
Not surprisingly, music matters a lot
in this medium as well.
in this medium as well.
158
463882
3547
如你所想的那样，
音乐在虚拟现实中也有很大的作用。
音乐在虚拟现实中也有很大的作用。
07:59
It guides us how to feel.

467842
1874
它引导着我们怎样去感受。

In this project we made

在这个和纽约时报合作的项目中，
08:05
and our friend, JR,
161
473699
1755
Zach Richter和我们的朋友JR，
08:07
we take you up in a helicopter,
162
475478
1885
将带你们乘上一架直升机，
08:09
and even though you're flying
2,000 feet above Manhattan,
2,000 feet above Manhattan,
163
477387
3938
即使当你翱翔于曼哈顿2000英尺的高空，
08:13
you don't feel afraid.
164
481349
1588
你也不会感到害怕。
08:14
You feel triumphant for JR's character.
165
482961
2908
你感到的是JR心中的狂喜。
08:19
The music guides you there.
166
487022
1479
是音乐将你带到了那里。
08:20

（音乐）
08:29
Contrary to popular belief,
168
497364
1607
与大众观念不同，
08:30
there is composition in virtual reality,
169
498995
2666
虚拟现实中其实也有创作的部分，
08:33
but it's completely
different than in film,
different than in film,
170
501685
2061
但和电影中的创作完全不一样，
08:35
where you have a rectangular frame.
171
503770
1725
电影将你限制在了矩形屏幕之中。
08:37
Composition is now
where your consciousness exists
where your consciousness exists
172
505519
2512
这里的创作是你意识存在的地方，
08:40
and how the world moves around you.
173
508055
1947
也是世界在你身边移动的方式。

08:49
we also see the changing role
of the close-up in virtual reality.
of the close-up in virtual reality.
176
517248
3242
我们看到了虚拟现实中
特写镜头的角色转变。
特写镜头的角色转变。
08:53
A close-up in VR means
you're actually close up to someone.
you're actually close up to someone.
177
521139
4213
虚拟现实中的特写镜头
意味着你可以逼真地靠近某人。
意味着你可以逼真地靠近某人。
08:57
It brings that character inside
of your personal space,
of your personal space,
178
525954
2643
它将那个角色带入了你的个人空间，
09:00
a space that we'd usually reserve
for the people that we love.
for the people that we love.
179
528621
3845
那个通常我们只会预留给
我们爱的人的空间。
我们爱的人的空间。
09:04
And you feel an emotional
closeness to the character
closeness to the character
180
532490
3170
并且你会感觉到对角色情感上的接近
09:07
because of what you feel
to be a physical closeness.
to be a physical closeness.
181
535684
2708
这源自于你感官上的物理接近。
09:16
Directing VR is not like
directing for the rectangle.

182
544639

导演拍摄虚拟现实
与导演普通电影不同。
与导演普通电影不同。
09:21
It's more of a choreography
of the viewer's attention.
of the viewer's attention.
183
549002
3084
它更像是对观众注意力的编排。
09:24
One tool we can use
to guide your attention
to guide your attention
184
552864
2594
一种我们可以用来指引
观众注意力的工具
观众注意力的工具
09:27
is called "spatialized sound."
185
555482
1433
叫做“空间化音效”。
我可以让声音出现在任何地方
你的前面，左边或者右边，
你的前面，左边或者右边，
09:28
I can put a sound anywhere
in front of you, to left or right,
in front of you, to left or right,
186
556939
2968
甚至是后面，
09:31
even behind you,
187
559931
1379
而当你转头的时候，
声音也会随之转动。
声音也会随之转动。
09:33
and when you turn your head,
the sound will rotate accordingly.
the sound will rotate accordingly.
188
561334
2996
所以我可以用声音引导你的注意力
到我想让你看的地方。
到我想让你看的地方。
09:36
So I can use that to direct your attention
to where I want you to see.
to where I want you to see.
189
564354
3502
09:40
Next time you hear someone
singing over your shoulder,
singing over your shoulder,
190
568308
2578
下次你听到有人在你肩上唱歌，
09:42
it might be Bono.
191
570910
1261
那可能就是Bono。
09:44
(Laughter)
192
572195
1207
（笑声）
09:50
VR makes us feel
like we are part of something.
like we are part of something.
193
578539
2755
虚拟现实让我们感觉
自己就好像是某些东西中的一部分。
自己就好像是某些东西中的一部分。
09:54
For most of human history,
we lived in small family units.
we lived in small family units.
194
582459

在人类历史的大多数时候，
我们都生活在小的家庭单位里。
我们都生活在小的家庭单位里。
09:57
We started in caves,
195
585992
1511
我们起源于山洞，
09:59
then moved to clans and tribes,
then villages and towns,
then villages and towns,
196
587527
3433
然后搬到部落和族群，
再然后到村庄和城镇，
再然后到村庄和城镇，
10:02
and now we're all global citizens.
197
590984
2692
如今我们都是世界公民。
10:06
But I believe that we are still
hardwired to care the most
hardwired to care the most
198
594211
3800
但我相信我们仍然天生最为关心
10:10
about the things that are local to us.
199
598035
2497
那些我们身边的事情。
10:13
And VR makes anywhere
and anyone feel local.
and anyone feel local.
200
601325
4958
虚拟现实可以让我们更加
接近任何地方和任何人。
接近任何地方和任何人。
10:18
That's why it works as an empathy machine.
201
606307
2508
那就是为什么它像一台
能够引起共鸣的机器一样工作。
能够引起共鸣的机器一样工作。
10:20
Our film "Clouds Over Sidra"
takes you to a Syrian refugee camp,
takes you to a Syrian refugee camp,
202
608839
3224
我们的电影“Clouds Over Sidra"
带你去到叙利亚的一个难民营，
带你去到叙利亚的一个难民营，
10:24
and instead of watching a story
about people over there,
about people over there,
203
612087
4551
这并不是观看一个
那里的人们的故事，
那里的人们的故事，
10:28
it's now a story about us here.
204
616662
3823
而是去感受一个
关于我们内心的故事。
关于我们内心的故事。
10:34
But where do we go from here?
205
622386
1510
那么下一步我们怎么走呢？
10:36
The tricky thing is that
with all previous mediums,
with all previous mediums,
206
624432
2457
棘手的问题是，之前所有的媒介，
10:38
the format is fixed at its birth.
207
626913
2370
它们的呈现形式
在它们诞生的时候就已经固定了。
在它们诞生的时候就已经固定了。
10:42
Film has been a sequence of rectangles,
208
630182
1889
电影一直以来都是一系列的矩形，
10:44
from Muybridge and his horses to now.
209
632095
2839
从Muybridge和他的马一直到现在。
10:47
The format has never changed.
210
635377
1550
这个形式从来没有改变过。
10:49
But VR as a format, as a medium,
211
637654
3447
但是虚拟现实作为
一种呈现形式，一个媒介，
一种呈现形式，一个媒介，
10:54
isn't complete yet.
212
642370
1249
还没有定型。
10:56
It's not using physical celluloid
or paper or TV signals.
or paper or TV signals.
213
644767
3199
它不是使用物理胶片，
纸张或者电视信号。
纸张或者电视信号。
10:59
It actually employs what we use
to make sense of the world.
to make sense of the world.
214
647990
3819
实际上它使用的是
我们用来感受世界的感官。
我们用来感受世界的感官。
11:04
We're using your senses
as the paints on the canvas,
as the paints on the canvas,
215
652642
3903
我们将你的感官
用作帆布上的颜料，
用作帆布上的颜料，
11:08
but only two right now.
216
656569
1322
虽然目前只用到两种。
11:11
Eventually, we can see if we will have
all of our human senses employed,
all of our human senses employed,
217
659653
3840
最终，我们会看看
是否能够使用我们人类所有的感官。
是否能够使用我们人类所有的感官。
11:15
and we will have agency to live
the story in any path we choose.
the story in any path we choose.
218
663517
4195
从而可以自由地
去体验所有可能的故事。
去体验所有可能的故事。
11:20
And we call it virtual reality right now,
219
668575
2456
我们现在叫它虚拟现实，
11:23
but what happens when we move
past simulated realities?
past simulated realities?
220
671055
2794
但当我们超越模拟的现实的时候，
11:27
What do we call it then?
221
675345
1430
那时我们叫它什么呢？
11:29
What if instead of verbally
telling you about a dream,
telling you about a dream,
222
677503
2836
如果不是跟你口头描述一个梦想，
11:32
I could let you live inside that dream?
223
680363
2774
而是可以让你生活在那个梦里呢？
11:35
What if instead of just experiencing
visiting some reality on Earth,
visiting some reality on Earth,
224
683860
3627
如果不是让你仅仅
体验一下地球上的某些地方，
体验一下地球上的某些地方，
11:39
you could surf gravitational waves
on the edge of a black hole,
on the edge of a black hole,
225
687511
4426
而是让你可以
在黑洞边缘的重力波上冲浪，
在黑洞边缘的重力波上冲浪，
11:43
or create galaxies from scratch,
226
691961
2776
或者从头开始建立银河系，
11:46
or communicate with each other
not using words
not using words
227
694761
3084
或者彼此交流的时候不是通过语言，
11:49
but using our raw thoughts?
228
697869
1903
而是通过脑中原始的思维呢？
11:53
That's not a virtual reality anymore.
229
701254
2081
那将不再是虚拟现实了。
11:56
And honestly I don't know
what that's called.
what that's called.
230
704052
2346
坦白地说我也不知道那叫什么。
11:58
But I hope you see where we're going.
231
706884
2332
但我希望你大概知道了
我们将会去往哪里。
我们将会去往哪里。
12:02
But here I am, intellectualizing
a medium I'm saying is experiential.
a medium I'm saying is experiential.
232
710629
3722
在这里，我将带领大家一起
体验这个革命性的新媒介。
体验这个革命性的新媒介。
12:06
So let's experience it.
233
714839
1426
那么让我们开始体验吧。
12:08
In your hands, you hopefully hold
a piece of cardboard.
a piece of cardboard.
234
716845
3195
在你们的手中，应该都有一片纸板。
12:13
Let's open the flap.

让我们打开盖子。
12:14
Tap on the power button
to unlock the phone.

12:18
For the people watching at home,
237

1624
在家观看的朋友们，
12:19
we're going to put up a card right now
238
727793
1836
我们现在会显示一张卡片
12:21
to show you how to download
this experience on your phone yourself,
this experience on your phone yourself,
239
729653
3230
来告诉你们
如何在手机上下载这个体验，
如何在手机上下载这个体验，
12:24
and even get a Google cardboard
of your own to try it with.
of your own to try it with.
240
732907
3301
甚至你可以想办法得到一个谷歌纸板
去尝试这个体验。
去尝试这个体验。
12:29
We played in cardboard boxes as kids,
241
737275
2527
我们小的时候会在纸盒里玩耍，
12:31
and as adults, I'm hoping we can all find
a little bit of that lightning
a little bit of that lightning
242
739826
4584
现在作为成年人，
当我们再一次把头放入纸板的时候
当我们再一次把头放入纸板的时候
希望我们都可以找回一些曾经的美好。
12:36
by sticking our head in one again.
243
744434
2774
12:41
You're about to participate
244

并且在那经典的怀旧风格中，
12:51
we're all going to watch something

759878
2231
我们将在同一时间，
12:54
at the exact same time, together.
248
762133

一同观赏。
12:57
Let's hope it works.
