Unveiling game-changing wearable tech | Pattie Maes

Translator: Polimar Balatbat Reviewer: Schubert Malbas

I've been intrigued by this question

Na-intriga ako sa tanong na kung sakali

maari tayong magkaroon o makalikha ng ikaanim na sentido --

of whether we could evolve or develop a sixth sense --

isang sentido na makapagbibigay ng walang hanggang access

a sense that would give us seamless access

and easy access to meta-information or information that may exist somewhere

at madaliaang access sa impormasyon,

o di kaya'y impormasyon kahit saanman

that may be relevant to help us make the right decision

na tutulong sa pagpili natin ng tamang desisyon

about whatever it is that we're coming across.

sa kung anumang bagay.

Maaaring ilan sa inyo ang magtataka,

And some of you may argue,

"Well, don't today's cell phones do that already?"

hindi ba nagagawa na 'yan ngayon sa cellphone?

But I would say no.

Pero sa palagay ko hindi pa.

When you meet someone here at TED --

Kunwari, may nakilala ka dito sa TED --

and this is the top networking place, of course, of the year --

ang pinag-uusapang lugar ngayon para makipagnetwork --

hindi mo naman kakamayan ang isang tao

you don't shake somebody's hand

tapos sasabihing, "Hintay lang saglit

and then say, "Can you hold on for a moment

while I take out my phone and Google you?"

ilalabas ko muna ang phone ko at igo-Google kita?"

O kaya naman kunwari sa pamilihan

Or when you go to the supermarket

and you're standing there in that huge aisle

at nakatayo ka sa isang malaking pasilyo

of different types of toilet papers,

na may iba't-ibang uri ng mga toilet paper,

you don't take out your cell phone, and open a browser,

hindi mo ilalabas ang cell phone, bubuksan ang browser,

and go to a website to try to decide which of these different toilet papers

at pupunta sa website para makapagpasya

kung aling uri ng toilet paper

is the most ecologically responsible purchase to make.

ang pinaka-makakalikasan?

Wala talagang madaling paraan sa ngayon

So we don't really have easy access to all this relevant information

upang kumuha ng kaukulang impormasyon,

that can just help us make optimal decisions

na tutulong sa atin na gumawa ng tamang desisyon

sa anong gagawin at sa susunod na mga hakbang.

about what to do next and what actions to take.

Kaya, nagsasaliksik kami ng aking grupo sa Media Lab

And so my research group at the Media Lab

has been developing a series of inventions

ng ilang mga imbensyon

upang ang daloy ng impormasyon

to give us access to this information in a sort of easy way,

ay mapabilis at mapadali,

without requiring that the user changes any of their behavior.

na hindi kailangang ibahin ang paraan ng paggamit nito.

And I'm here to unveil our latest effort,

Nandito ako upang ibahagi

ang bagong bunga ng aming pagsisikap,

and most successful effort so far,

at ang pinakamatagumpay sa lahat,

which is still very much a work in process.

bagaman ito ay work in progress pa rin.

I'm actually wearing the device right now and we've sort of cobbled it together

Suot ko ngayon ang isang aparato

na pinagsama-sama

with components that are off the shelf --

ang ilang simpleng kasangkapan na madaling bilhin --

and that, by the way, only cost 350 dollars at this point in time.

at nagkakahalaga ito ng 350 dolyares lamang

sa ngayon.

I'm wearing a camera, just a simple web cam,

Suot ko ang isang kamera, simpleng webcam,

a portable, battery-powered projection system with a little mirror.

isang portable at de-bateryang projector na may maliit na salamin.

These components communicate to my cell phone in my pocket

Nakakonekta ito sa cell phone sa bulsa ko

which acts as the communication and computation device.

na nagsisilbing kasangkapan para sa komunikasyon at komputasyon.

And in the video here we see my student Pranav Mistry,

Sa bidyong ito, mapapanood niyo ang aking estudyante na si Pranav Mistry,

who's really the genius who's been implementing

ang henyo na kasalukuyang bumubuo

and designing this whole system.

at nagdidisenyo ng buong sistema.

And we see how this system lets him walk up to any surface

Sa sistemang ito

maaari siyang gumamit ng anumang surface

and start using his hands to interact with the information

at papaganahin niya lang ang kanyang kamay upang kumuha ng impormasyon

that is projected in front of him.

at ipo-project na ito sa harapan niya.

The system tracks the four significant fingers.

Sinusubaybayan nito ang apat na mahahalagang daliri.

In this case, he's wearing simple marker caps

Dito, suot niya ang simpleng takip ng marker

that you may recognize.

na pamilyar sa inyo.

But if you want a more stylish version,

Kung gusto mo namang maiba

you could also paint your nails in different colors.

maaari mong pinturahan ng iba't ibang kulay ang inyong mga kuko.

And the camera basically tracks these four fingers

Sinusundan ng kamera ang naturang mga daliri

and recognizes any gestures that he's making

at sinusuri nito ang bawat kilos

kaya, halimbawa, gamit ang mapa ng Long Beach,

so he can just go to, for example, a map of Long Beach,

zoom in and out, etc.

maaaring palakihin o paliitin ang larawan, at iba pa.

The system also recognizes iconic gestures such as the "take a picture" gesture,

Alam din ng sistema ang ilang sikat na simbolismo

gaya ng "pagkuha ng litrato",

and then takes a picture of whatever is in front of you.

kukunan nito ng litrato ang anumang nasa harap mo.

Pagbalik niya sa Media Lab,

And when he then walks back to the Media Lab,

he can just go up to any wall

maaari siyang gumamit ng kahit anong uri ng pader

and project all the pictures that he's taken,

at i-project ang lahat ng litratong nakuha niya,

sort through them and organize them, and re-size them, etc.,

ayusin, gawan ng pagkasunod-sunod,

palakihin, at iba pa,

again using all natural gestures.

gamit ang natural na pagkilos ng kamay.

Marahil 2 taon na ang nakalipas, nandito ang iba sa inyo

So, some of you most likely were here two years ago

at pinakita ni Jeff Han ang kanyang demo

and saw the demo by Jeff Han, or some of you may think,

"Well, doesn't this look like the Microsoft Surface Table?"

at napapa-isip kayo, "' 'Di ba kamukha ito nung Microsoft Surface Table?"

And yes, you also interact using natural gestures,

Tama, gumagamit din 'yon ng natural na pagkilos,

both hands, etc.

dalawang kamay, at iba pa.

But the difference here is that you can use any surface,

Ngunit iba ito sapagkat maari itong gamitin sa anumang uri ng surface,

you can walk up to any surface,

maaari kang magtrabaho sa kahit anumang surface,

including your hand, if nothing else is available,

at pwedeng sa kamay mismo, bakit hindi,

and interact with this projected data.

at dito mo paglalaruan ang mga datos.

The device is completely portable, and can be --

Inimbento ang aparato para maging ganap na portable,

gaya nito ...

(Applause)

(Palakpakan)

(Applause ends)

So, one important difference is that it's totally mobile.

Isang mahalagang pagkakaiba nito ay ang pagiging tunay na mobile.

Another even more important difference is that in mass production,

Isa pang pagkakaiba ay kung matutuloy ang pangmaramihang produksyon nito

this would not cost more tomorrow than today's cell phones

hindi lalagpas ang gastos nito sa pangkaraniwang cell phone ngayon

and would actually not sort of be a bigger packaging --

at maaring gawing maliit ang imbensyong ito --

could look a lot more stylish

halimbawa, mas magandang tingnan

than this version that I'm wearing around my neck.

kaysa sa suot ko sa leeg ngayon.

Maliban sa kakayahang isabuhay ang inyong pangarap

But other than letting some of you live out your fantasy

na gayahin si Tom Cruise sa "Minority Report,"

of looking as cool as Tom Cruise in "Minority Report,"

ang tunay na dahilan kung bakit kami nagagalak sa aparatong ito

the reason why we're really excited about this device

ay dahil maaari itong gamitin bilang ikaanim na sentido

is that it really can act as one of these sixth-sense devices

that gives you relevant information about whatever is in front of you.

na makakapagbigay ng kaukulang impormasyon

tungkol sa bagay na nasa harap mo.

Mapapanood niyo si Pranav dito na pumunta sa pamilihan

So we see Pranav here going into the supermarket

and he's shopping for some paper towels.

upang bumili ng mga paper towel.

And, as he picks up a product,

Dito, agad na susuriin ng sistema ang

the system can recognize the product that he's picking up,

produktong kanyang dinampot,

using either image recognition or marker technology,

gamit ang alinmang marker o paghahambing ng mga imahe,

and give him the green light or an orange light.

at magbibigay ito ng ilaw na kulay berde o kulay kahel.

He can ask for additional information.

Maaari rin siyang humingi ng karagdagang detalye.

So this particular choice here

Dito, masasabing mahusay ang pagpili ng nagsusuot nito

is a particularly good choice, given his personal criteria.

dahil sariling pamantayan ang ginagamit ng sistema.

Some of you may want the toilet paper with the most bleach in it

Marahil, pipiliin ng ilan sa inyo dito ang pinakamaputing toilet paper

rather than the most ecologically responsible choice.

sa halip na piliin ang pinakamakakalikasan.

(Laughter)

(Tawanan)

If he picks up a book in the bookstore, he can get an Amazon rating --

Kung pipili naman siya ng aklat sa tindahan ng mga libro,

makukuha niya ang rating sa Amazon --

it gets projected right on the cover of the book.

na naka-project sa mismong pabalat ng aklat.

Aklat ito ni Juan, ang naunang ispiker kanina,

This is Juan's book, our previous speaker,

which gets a great rating, by the way, at Amazon.

na may magandang marka sa Amazon.

And so, Pranav turns the page of the book

Sa paglipat naman ni Pranav sa mga pahina ng aklat

and can then see additional information about the book --

may dagdag impormasyon siyang makukuha --

reader comments, maybe sort of information by his favorite critic, etc.

komento ng ilang mambabasa, mula sa paboritong kritiko, atbp.

If he turns to a particular page,

Kung ililipat niya sa isang partikular na pahina

he finds an annotation by maybe an expert or a friend of ours

makikita niya ang komentaryo mula sa mga eksperto

that gives him a little bit of additional information

at dagdag impormasyon

tungkol sa anumang mayroon sa pahinang iyon.

about whatever is on that particular page.

Sa pagbabasa ng diyaryo --

Reading the newspaper -- it never has to be outdated.

kailanman hindi na ito maluluma.

(Laughter)

(Tawanan)

You can get video annotations of the events that you're reading about.

Maaari mong mapanood ang ilang bidyo-komentaryo sa inyong binabasa

You can get the latest sports scores, etc.

Pati ang pinakabagong iskor sa nagaganap na laro, at iba pa.

Pinagtatalunan naman namin ang isang 'to.

This is a more controversial one.

(Laughter)

(Tawanan)

As you interact with someone at TED,

Habang may kausap ka sa TED,

maybe you can see a word cloud of the tags,

may ilang salita na susulpot sa harap mo, gaya ng word cloud,

the words that are associated with that person

mga salitang may kaugnayan sa taong kausap mo

in their blog and personal web pages.

mula sa kanilang mga blog at web page.

In this case, the student is interested in cameras, etc.

Halimbawa, dito, malalaman nating mahilig sa kamera, atbp, ang estudyanteng 'to.

On your way to the airport,

Habang papunta naman sa paliparan,

if you pick up your boarding pass, it can tell you that your flight is delayed,

maari mong malaman sa inyong boarding pass kung na-delay ang flight mo,

that the gate has changed, etc.

kung pinalitan ang boarding gate, at iba pa.

And, if you need to know what the current time is,

Kung kailangan mo naman ang oras ngayon

it's as simple as drawing a watch --

guguhit ka lang ng relo --

(Laughter)

(Tawanan)

(Applause)

(Palakpakan)

on your arm.

sa inyong kamay.

'Yun po ang mga nagagawa namin sa ngayon

So that's where we're at so far in developing this sixth sense

tungo sa paglikha ng pang-anim na sentido

that would give us seamless access to all this relevant information

na magbibigay-access sa lahat ng kaukulang impormasyon

about the things that we may come across.

tungkol sa mga bagay-bagay sa paligid natin.

My student Pranav, who's really, like I said, the genius behind this.

Pinapakilala ko si Pranav, na tulad ng sinabi ko, ang henyo sa likod ng lahat ng 'to.

(Palakpakan) (Nagsipagtayo ang lahat sa gitna ng malakas na palakpakan)

(Applause and cheering)

(Applause ends)

He does deserve a lot of applause,

Karapat-dapat siyang bigyan ng maraming palakpak

because I don't think he's slept much in the last three months, actually.

dahil sa tingin ko, hindi siya gaanong nakakatulog sa nakalipas na tatlong buwan.

And his girlfriend is probably not very happy about him either.

Marahil hindi rin masaya ang kanyang kasintahan dahil doon.

But it's not perfect yet, it's very much a work in progress.

Pero hindi pa ito tapos, napakarami pa ng mga dapat gawin.

And who knows, maybe in another 10 years

Malay natin, pagkatapos ng 10 taon,

we'll be here with the ultimate sixth sense brain implant.

masasaksihan natin dito ang ikaanim na sentido na nilalagay sa loob ng utak.

Thank you.

Salamat.

(Applause)

(Palakpakan)
