Today, I'm going to talk to you about sketching electronics.
1

Avui, us parlaré de com fer esbossos electrònics.
00:20
I'm, among several other things, an electrical engineer,
2
20453
5368
Sóc, entre d'altres coses, enginyera elèctrica,
00:25
and that means that I spend a good amount of time
3
25821
3697
i això implica que passo bastant de temps
00:29
designing and building new pieces of technology,
4
29518
4374
dissenyant i construint noves peces de tecnologia,
00:33
and more specifically designing and building electronics.
5
33892
4540
més concretament dissenyant i construint aparats electrònics.
00:38
And what I've found is that the process of designing
6
38432
4358
I el que he descobert que el procés de dissenyar
00:42
and building electronics is problematic in all sorts of ways.
7
42790
5594
i construir aparats electrònics és problemàtic en molts sentits.
00:48
So it's a really slow process, it's really expensive,
8
48384
4841
És un procés molt lent, és molt costós,
00:53
and the outcome of that process,
9
53225
2440
i el resultat d'aquest procés,
00:55
namely electronic circuit boards,
10
55665
2416
és a dir, les plaques de circuit impresses,
00:58
are limited in all sorts of kind of interesting ways.
11
58081
3029
estan limitades en diversos sentits molt interessants.
01:01
So they're really small, generally, they're square
12
61110
3640
Són molt petites generalment, són quadrades,
01:04
and flat and hard, and frankly, most of them
13
64750
4365
planes i rígides i, sincerament, la majoria
01:09
just aren't very attractive, and so my team and I
14
69115
4313
són poc atractives. Llavors el meu equip i jo
01:13
have been thinking of ways to really change and mix up
15
73428
3988
hem pensat maneres de transformar i remesclar de debò
01:17
the process and the outcome of designing electronics.
16
77416
4661
el procés i el resultat del diseny d'aparats electrònics.
01:22
And so what if you could design and build electronics
17
82077
4088
I si puguéssim dissenyar i construir aparats electrònics així?
01:26
like this? So what if you could do it extremely quickly,
18
86165
4040
I si poguéssim fer-ho molt ràpidament,
01:30
extremely inexpensively, and maybe more interestingly,
19
90205
5665
per un cost extremadament baix, i el que és més interessant,
01:35
really fluidly and expressively and even improvisationally?
20
95870
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
21
101134
3322
Oi que seria genial, i que obriria
01:44
all sorts of new possibilities?
22
104456
2448
un ventall de noves possibilitats?
01:46
I'm going to share with you two projects that are
23
106904
3384
Vull compartir amb vosaltres dos projectes que són
01:50
investigations along these lines, and we'll start with this one.
24
110288
4709
investigacions seguint aquestes línies, i començarem amb aquest.
01:54
(Video) Magnetic electronic pieces and ferrous paper.
25
114997
5737
(Vídeo) Peces electròniques magnètiques i paper ferrós.
02:00
A conductive pen from the Lewis lab at UIUC.

02:04

27

2874
Plantilles adhesives.
02:07
Speed x 4.
28
127440
2560
Velocitat x 4.
02:25
Making a switch.
29
145519

Fer un interruptor.
02:37
Music: DJ Shadow.

02:55
Adding some intelligence with a microcontroller.
31
175435
3317
Afegir intel·ligència amb un microcontrolador.
03:11
Sketching an interface.
32
191995
3499
Esbossar una interfície.
03:19
(Music)
33
199528
7799
(Música)
03:28
(Laughter)
34
208895
4170
(Riures)
03:33
(Applause)
35
213065
5706
(Aplaudiments)
03:38
Pretty cool, huh? We think so.
36
218771
2997
És molt guai oi? Això pensem nosaltres.
03:41
So now that we developed these tools
37
221768
3784
Així que ara que hem desenvolupat aquestes eines
03:45
and found these materials that let us do these things,
38
225552
3738
i hem descobert els materials que ens permeten fer aquestes coses,
03:49
we started to realize that, essentially, anything
39
229290
4168
hem començat a adornar-nos que, bàsicament,
03:53
that we can do with paper, anything that we can do
40
233458
2384
qualsevol cosa que puguem fer amb paper, o que puguem fer
03:55
with a piece of paper and a pen
41
235842
2415
amb un foli i un llapis
03:58
we can now do with electronics.
42
238257
2417
ara també és possible fer-la electrònica.
04:00
So the next project that I want to show you is kind of a
43
240674
2368
El projecte que vull mostrar-vos és com
04:03
deeper exploration of that possibility.
44
243042
3560
un estudi més en detall d'aquesta possibilitat.
04:06
And I'll kind of let it speak for itself.
45
246602
3864
Deixaré que es presenti ell mateix.
04:10
(Music)
46
250466
90446
(Música)
05:40
(Applause)
47
340912
5368
(Aplaudiments)
05:46
So the next step for us in this process
48
346280
4800
La pròxima meta que ens hem marcat en aquest procés
05:51
is now to find a way to let all of you
49
351080
3728
és trobar la manera de que tots vosaltres
05:54
build things like this,
50
354808
2896
pugueu construir coses així,
05:57
and so the way that we're approaching that is by
51
357704
3080
i la forma en que duem a terme tal cosa és
06:00
teaching workshops to people where we explain
52
360784
2607
impartint tallers a persones en els que aprenen
06:03
how they can use these kinds of tools, and then also
53
363391
3113
com utilitzar aquest tipus d'eines, i a més a més
06:06
working to get the tools and the materials and techniques
54
366504
3742
treballem per a aplicar aquests materials i aquestes tècniques
06:10
out into the real world in a variety of ways.
55
370246
3750
al món real de formes diverses.
06:13
And so sometime soon, you'll be able to play and build
56
373996
3584
Molt aviat podreu fer música, construir
06:17
and sketch with electronics in this fundamentally new way.
57
377580
3794
i esbossar aparats electrònics d'aquesta forma tan innovadora.
06:21
So thank you very much. (Applause)
58
381374
4000
Moltes gràcies. (Aplaudiments)
