Jinha Lee: Reach into the computer and grab a pixel

Translator: Katarina Fatur Reviewer: Matej Divjak

Throughout the history of computers

Skozi zgodovino razvoja računalnikov

we've been striving to shorten the gap between us

se trudimo premostiti vrzel med človekom

and digital information,

in digitalno informacijo,

the gap between our physical world

mejo med našim fizičnim svetom

and the world in the screen

in svetom v zaslonu,

where our imagination can go wild.

v katerem je naša domišljija brez ovir.

And this gap has become shorter,

Meja med svetovoma je postajala vse tanjša,

shorter, and even shorter,

tanjša, in še tanjša,

and now this gap is shortened down

danes pa je stanjšana

to less than a millimeter,

na manj kot milimeter,

the thickness of a touch-screen glass,

na debelino stekla pri zaslonu na dotik,

and the power of computing

in tako je računalništvo

has become accessible to everyone.

postalo dostopno vsakomur.

But I wondered, what if there could be no boundary at all?

A vprašal sem se, kaj pa če sploh ne bi bilo nikakršne meje?

I started to imagine what this would look like.

Začel sem si predstavljati, kako bi to izgledalo.

First, I created this tool

Najprej sem izdelal orodje,

which penetrates into the digital space,

ki prodre v digitalni prostor,

so when you press it hard on the screen,

tako da z močnim pritiskom na zaslon

it transfers its physical body into pixels.

svojo fizično obliko pretvori v piksle.

Designers can materialize their ideas

Oblikovalci lahko svoje ideje ustvarjajo

directly in 3D,

neposredno v 3D

and surgeons can practice on virtual organs

in kirurgi lahko vadijo na virtualnih organih

underneath the screen.

pod zaslonom.

So with this tool, this boundary has been broken.

S tem orodjem je ta meja premagana.

But our two hands still remain outside the screen.

Toda naši dve roki še vedno ostajata izven zaslona.

How can you reach inside and interact

Kako seči vanj in vplivati

with the digital information

na digitalno informacijo tako,

using the full dexterity of our hands?

da lahko v celoti izkoristimo svojo ročno spretnost?

At Microsoft Applied Sciences,

Pri Microsoft Applied Sciences sem

along with my mentor Cati Boulanger,

skupaj z mentorico Cati Boulanger

I redesigned the computer

preoblikoval računalnik tako,

and turned a little space above the keyboard

da sem malo prostora nad tipkovnico preuredil

into a digital workspace.

v digitalno delovno površino.

By combining a transparent display and depth cameras

Kombinacija prosojnega zaslona in globinskih kamer

for sensing your fingers and face,

za zaznavanje vaših prstov in obraza

now you can lift up your hands from the keyboard

omogoča, da zdaj svoje roke lahko dvignete od tipkovnice

and reach inside this 3D space

in sežete v 3D prostor,

and grab pixels with your bare hands.

ter primete piksle z lastnimi rokami.

(Applause)

(Aplavz.)

Because windows and files have a position in the real space,

Ker so okna in datoteke razporejeni v realnem prostoru,

selecting them is as easy as grabbing a book off your shelf.

jih je tako preprosto izbrati, kot bi vzeli knjigo s police.

Then you can flip through this book

Lahko listate po knjigi,

while highlighting the lines, words

medtem ko označujete vrstice ali besede

on the virtual touch pad below each floating window.

na virtualni ploščici na dotik pod vsakim lebdečim oknom.

Architects can stretch or rotate the models

Tako lahko arhitekti raztegnejo ali zavrtijo modele

with their two hands directly.

neposredno s svojima rokama.

So in these examples,

V navedenih primerih

we are reaching into the digital world.

mi segamo v digitalni svet.

But how about reversing its role

Kaj pa če zamenjamo vlogi

and having the digital information reach us instead?

in digitalne informacije sežejo do nas?

I'm sure many of us have had the experience

Prepričan sem, da imamo mnogi med nami izkušnje

of buying and returning items online.

s kupovanjem in vračanjem blaga na spletu.

But now you don't have to worry about it.

Zdaj vam glede tega ni več treba skrbeti.

What I got here is an online augmented fitting room.

Tule lahko spremljate spletno preoblačilnico.

This is a view that you get from

To je pogled, ki ga vidite

head-mounted or see-through display

na naglavnem ali prosojnem prikazovalniku,

when the system understands the geometry of your body.

ko sistem spozna geometrijo vašega telesa.

Taking this idea further, I started to think,

Idejo sem razvijal dalje in pomislil,

instead of just seeing these pixels in our space,

kako bi, namesto da so zgolj vidni v prostoru,

how can we make it physical

piksle opredmetili,

so that we can touch and feel it?

tako da jih lahko otipamo in čutimo?

What would such a future look like?

Kako bi izgledala taka prihodnost?

At MIT Media Lab, along with my advisor Hiroshi Ishii

V MIT Media Labu sem skupaj s svojim svetovalcem Hiroshijem Ishiijem

and my collaborator Rehmi Post,

in sodelavcem Rehmijem Postom

we created this one physical pixel.

izdelal ta edinstven fizični piksel.

Well, in this case, this spherical magnet

No, v tem primeru ta sferični magnet

acts like a 3D pixel in our space,

deluje kot 3D piksel v našem prostoru,

which means that both computers and people

kar pomeni, da ga lahko tako računalniki kot ljudje

can move this object to anywhere

premikajo kamor koli

within this little 3D space.

znotraj tega omejenega 3D prostora.

What we did was essentially canceling gravity

Kar smo napravili, je v osnovi izničenje gravitacije

and controlling the movement by combining

in nadzorovanje gibanja s kombinacijo

magnetic levitation and mechanical actuation

magnetnega lebdenja in tehnologije mehanskega aktiviranja

and sensing technologies.

in krmiljenja.

And by digitally programming the object,

Z digitalnim programiranjem objekt

we are liberating the object from constraints

osvobodimo omejitev, ki jih postavljata

of time and space, which means that now,

čas in prostor, kar pomeni, da se lahko zdaj

human motions can be recorded and played back

gibanje človeškega telesa posname in ponovno predvaja,

and left permanently in the physical world.

ter trajno ostane v fizičnem svetu.

So choreography can be taught physically over distance

Tako je mogoče koreografijo učiti fizično na daljavo

and Michael Jordan's famous shooting can be replicated

in slavni meti Michaela Jordana se lahko ponavljajo

over and over as a physical reality.

znova in znova kot fizična realnost.

Students can use this as a tool

Študenti lahko to uporabijo kot pripomoček

to learn about the complex concepts

za učenje kompleksnih pojmov,

such as planetary motion, physics,

kot je gibanje planetov, fizika,

and unlike computer screens or textbooks,

toda nasprotno od računalniških zaslonov in učbenikov

this is a real, tangible experience

tak način predstavlja resnično, otipljivo izkušnjo,

that you can touch and feel, and it's very powerful.

ki jo otipaš in čutiš, in je zelo intenzivna.

And what's more exciting

Še bolj vznemirljivo

than just turning what's currently in the computer physical

kot zgolj pretvarjati trenutne vsebine iz računalnika v fizično obliko,

is to start imagining how programming the world

pa si je zamisliti, kako bo programiranje sveta

will alter even our daily physical activities.

spremenilo tudi naše vsakodnevne fizične aktivnosti.

(Laughter)

(Smeh.)

As you can see, the digital information

Kot vidite, nam digitalne informacije

will not just show us something

ne bodo zgolj nečesa prikazovale,

but it will start directly acting upon us

ampak bodo neposredno delovale na nas

as a part of our physical surroundings

kot del našega fizičnega okolja,

without disconnecting ourselves from our world.

ne da bi se nam bilo potrebno ločiti od svojega sveta.

Today, we started by talking about the boundary,

Danes smo začeli z govorom o meji,

but if we remove this boundary,

toda če to mejo odstranimo,

the only boundary left is our imagination.

je edina omejitev naša domišljija.

Thank you.

Hvala.
