Stephen Lawler: Look! Up in the sky! It's Virtual Earth!

Prevoditelj: Davorin Jelačić Recezent: Mislav Ante Omazić - EFZG

What I want to talk to you about today is

Ono o čemu danas želim govoriti su

virtual worlds, digital globes, the 3-D Web, the Metaverse.

virtualni svjetovi, digitalne kugle, 3D mreža, metaverzum.

What does this all mean for us?

Što sve to nama znači?

What it means is the Web is going to become an exciting place again.

Znači to da će Mreža uskoro ponovno postati uzbudljivo mjesto.

It's going to become super exciting as we transform

Postat će super uzbudljivo dok se transformiramo

to this highly immersive and interactive world.

u taj vrlo zanimljivi i interaktivni svijet,

With graphics, computing power, low latencies,

s grafikom, računalnom snagom, niskom latentnošću,

these types of applications and possibilities

te vrste aplikacija i mogućnosti

are going to stream rich data into your lives.

će unijeti bogate podatke u naše živote.

So the Virtual Earth initiative, and other types of these initiatives,

Incijativa Virtualna zemlja (Virtual Earth) i druge inicijative,

are all about extending our current search metaphor.

se sve bave proširenjem naše trenutne metafore pretrage.

When you think about it, we're so constrained by browsing the Web,

Kad razmislite o tome, tako smo ograničeni u pregledavanju Mreže,

remembering URLs, saving favorites.

pamteći URL-ove, snimajući favorite.

As we move to search, we rely on the relevance rankings,

Kada idemo u potragu, oslanjamo se na rejtinge po značajnosti,

the Web matching, the index crawling.

mrežno podudaranje, puzanje indeksa,

But we want to use our brain!

ali mi želimo koristiti naš mozak!

We want to navigate, explore, discover information.

Želimo navigirati, istraživati, otkrivati informacije.

In order to do that, we have to put you as a user back in the driver's seat.

Kako bismo to mogli, moramo vas korisnike, vratiti za upravljač.

We need cooperation between you and the computing network and the computer.

Trebamo suradnju između vas te računalne mreže i računala.

So what better way to put you back in the driver's seat

Pa ima li boljeg načina da vas vratimo za upravljač

than to put you in the real world that you interact in every day?

od onoga da vas stavimo u stvarni svijet s kojim ste u svakodnevnoj interakciji?

Why not leverage the learnings that you've been learning your entire life?

Zašto ne iskoristiti znanja koja učite cijeli svoj život?

So Virtual Earth is about starting off

Kod Virtualne zemlje se radi o početku,

creating the first digital representation, comprehensive, of the entire world.

stvaranju prve digitalne reprezentacije, potpune, cijeloga svijeta.

What we want to do is mix in all types of data.

Ono što želimo je pomiješati sve vrste podataka.

Tag it. Attribute it. Metadata. Get the community to add local depth,

Označiti ih, obilježiti ih. Metapodaci. Navesti zajednicu da doda lokalnu dubinu

global perspective, local knowledge.

-- globalna perspektiva, lokalno znanje.

So when you think about this problem,

Kad razmislite o tom problemu

what an enormous undertaking. Where do you begin?

vidite da je to ogroman pothvat. Znate, gdje započeti?

Well, we collect data from satellites, from airplanes,

Pa, podatke prikupljamo sa satelita, zrakoplova,

from ground vehicles, from people.

od kopnenih vozila, od ljudi.

This process is an engineering problem,

Ovaj proces je, znate, inženjerski problem,

a mechanical problem, a logistical problem, an operational problem.

mehanički problem, logistički problem, operativni problem.

Here is an example of our aerial camera.

Evo primjera naše kamere u zraku.

This is panchromatic. It's actually four color cones.

Ovo je pankromatski. To su četiri stošca boje.

In addition, it's multi-spectral.

Osim toga, to je i multispektralno.

We collect four gigabits per second of data,

Prikupljamo četiri gigabita podataka u sekundi,

if you can imagine that kind of data stream coming down.

ako možete zamisliti takav tok podatka kako se spušta.

That's equivalent to a constellation of 12 satellites at highest res capacity.

To je ekvivalent konstelaciji od 12 satelita pri najvećoj rezoluciji.

We fly these airplanes at 5,000 feet in the air.

Ovi zrakoplovi lete na preko 1.500 metara u zraku;

You can see the camera on the front. We collect multiple viewpoints,

možete vidjeti kameru na prednjem dijelu. Prikupljamo snimke s različitih gledišta,

vantage points, angles, textures. We bring all that data back in.

različitih visina, kutova, tekstura. Sve te podatke unosimo.

We sit here -- you know, think about the ground vehicles, the human scale --

Sjedimo ovdje – znate, kod kopnenih vozila, u ljudskoj veličini --

what do you see in person? We need to capture that up close

što vidite kad ste osobno tamo? Moramo i to izbliza zabilježiti

to establish that what it's like-type experience.

da utvrdimo to 'kako je tamo' iskustvo.

I bet many of you have seen the Apple commercials,

Kladim se da su mnogi od vas vidjeli reklame za Apple,

kind of poking at the PC for their brilliance and simplicity.

u kojima malo bockaju PC jer su, naravno, oni briljantni i jednostavni.

So a little unknown secret is --

No, mala nepoznata tajna je --

did you see the one with the guy, he's got the Web cam?

jeste li vidjeli onu s tipom koji ima web kameru?

The poor PC guy. They're duct taping his head. They're just wrapping it on him.

Jadnik s PC-jem, oblijepljuju mu glavu trakom, umataju ga.

Well, a little unknown secret is his brother actually works on the Virtual Earth team.

Pa, mala nepoznata tajna je da mu brat, u stvari, radi u timu za Virtualnu zemlju.

(Laughter). So they've got a little bit of a sibling rivalry thing going on here.

(Smijeh). Što znači da tu imaju malo rodbinskog suparništva.

But let me tell you -- it doesn't affect his day job.

No, reći ću vam – to ne utječe na njegov rad.

We think a lot of good can come from this technology.

Mislimo da puno dobrog može proizići iz ove tehnologije.

This was after Katrina. We were the first commercial fleet of airplanes

Ovo je bilo nakon Katrine. Mi smo bili prva komercijalna flota zrakoplova

to be cleared into the disaster impact zone.

kojoj se dopustilo ući u zonu pogođenu katastrofom.

We flew the area. We imaged it. We sent in people. We took pictures of interiors,

Preletjeli smo područje, snimili ga, poslali ljude, fotografirali interijere,

disaster areas. We helped with the first responders, the search and rescue.

pogođena područja. Pomogli smo s prvima koji su se javili, u potrazi i spašavanju.

Often the first time anyone saw what happened to their house was on Virtual Earth.

Mnogi su na Virtualnoj zemlji prvi puta vidjeli što se dogodilo s njihovom kućom.

We made it all freely available on the Web, just to --

Sve smo učinili besplatno dostupnim na mreži, samo da – znate,

it was obviously our chance of helping out with the cause.

očito je to bila naša prilika da pomognemo zajedničkom cilju.

When we think about how all this comes together,

Kad razmišljamo, znate, kako se sve ovo uklapa,

it's all about software, algorithms and math.

sve je u softveru, algoritmima i matematici.

You know, we capture this imagery but to build the 3-D models

Znate, snimimo slike, ali da bismo napravili 3D modele,

we need to do geo-positioning. We need to do geo-registering of the images.

treba nam geo-pozicioniranje. Moramo izvršiti geo-registriranje slika.

We have to bundle adjust them. Find tie points.

Moramo ih skupno prilagoditi. Pronaći povezne točke.

Extract geometry from the images.

Izvući geometriju iz fotografija.

This process is a very calculated process.

Taj je proces sasvim računski.

In fact, it was always done manual.

Zapravo, uvijek ga se obavljalo ručno.

Hollywood would spend millions of dollars to do a small urban corridor

Hollywood je znao potrošiti milijune dolara da napravi mali gradski prolaz

for a movie because they'd have to do it manually.

za neki film, jer su sve morali raditi ručno.

They'd drive the streets with lasers called LIDAR.

Vozili su se ulicama s laserima zvanim LIDAR.

They'd collected information with photos. They'd manually build each building.

Informacije su dobivali s fotografija, a rukom su izrađivali svaku zgradu.

We do this all through software, algorithms and math --

Mi sve to radimo softverom, algoritmima i matematikom,

a highly automated pipeline creating these cities.

visoko automatiziranim postupkom koji stvara gradove.

We took a decimal point off what it cost to build these cities,

Trošak izgradnje tih gradova smo smanjili za decimalno mjesto,

and that's how we're going to be able to scale this out and make this reality a dream.

i zato ćemo biti u stanju ovo uraditi u razmjeru i san pretočiti u stvarnost.

We think about the user interface.

Razmišljamo o korisničkom sučelju.

What does it mean to look at it from multiple perspectives?

Što to znači promatrati nešto iz više perspektiva?

An ortho-view, a nadir-view. How do you keep the precision of the fidelity of the imagery

Orto-pogled, nadir-pogled. Kako zadržati preciznost vjernosti slika

while maintaining the fluidity of the model?

a pritom očuvati i fluidnost modela?

I'll wrap up by showing you the --

Završit ću tako da vam pokažem --

this is a brand-new peek I haven't really shown into the lab area of Virtual Earth.

ovo je nov novcat pogled koji nisam pokazao u laboratoriju Virtualne zemlje.

What we're doing is -- people like this a lot,

Što tu radimo su – ljudi ovo jako vole --

this bird's eye imagery we work with. It's this high resolution data.

ove slike iz ptičje perspektive s kojima radimo. Podaci su u visokoj rezoluciji.

But what we've found is they like the fluidity of the 3-D model.

Ali otkrili smo da ljudi vole fluidnost 3D modela.

A child can navigate with an Xbox controller or a game controller.

Dijete može navigirati pomoću Xbox upravljača, ili igračkog upravljača.

So here what we're trying to do is we bring the picture and project it into the 3-D model space.

Ovdje pokušavamo unijeti sliku i projicirati je u prostor 3D modela.

You can see all types of resolution. From here, I can slowly pan the image over.

Vidite sve vrste rezolucije. Odavde, mogu polako okretati sliku.

I can get the next image. I can blend and transition.

Mogu uzeti slijedeću sliku. Mogu raditi stapanje i prijelaze.

By doing this I don't lose the original detail. In fact, I might be recording history.

Radeći ovo, ne gubim originalne detalje. U stvari, možda snimam povijest.

The freshness, the capacity. I can turn this image.

Svježina, kapacitet. Mogu okrenuti ovu sliku.

I can look at it from multiple viewpoints and angles.

Mogu je promatrati s različitih gledišta i kutova.

What we're trying to do is build a virtual world.

Ono što pokušavamo je izgraditi virtualni svijet.

We hope that we can make computing a user model you're familiar with,

Nadamo se da možemo napraviti korisnički model koji vam je poznat,

and really derive insights from you, from all different directions.

i steći uvide od vas, iz svih mogućih smjerova.

I thank you very much for your time.

Hvala vam lijepa na vašem vremenu.

(Applause)
