Jinha Lee: Reach into the computer and grab a pixel

Translator: Iris Xholi Reviewer: Helena Bedalli

Throughout the history of computers

Pergjate gjithe historise se kompjuterave

we've been striving to shorten the gap between us

jemi perpjekur te ngushtojme hendekun midis nesh

and digital information,

dhe informacionit digjital,

the gap between our physical world

hendekun midis botes sone fizike

and the world in the screen

dhe asaj ne ekran

where our imagination can go wild.

ku imagjinata jone mund te shkoje jashte limiteve.

And this gap has become shorter,

Kjo hapesire eshte bere gjithnje e me e ngushte,

shorter, and even shorter,

gjithnje e me e vogel,

and now this gap is shortened down

sa tashme eshte zvogeluar

to less than a millimeter,

ne me pak se nje milimeter,

the thickness of a touch-screen glass,

trashesia e nje ekrani xhami me prekje,

and the power of computing

dhe fuqia e kompjuterave

has become accessible to everyone.

i eshte mundesuar gjithkujt.

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

Por mendova, po sikur te mos kish kufij aspak?

I started to imagine what this would look like.

Nisa te imagjonoja se si mund te ish kjo gje.

First, I created this tool

Si fillim, krijova kete instrument

which penetrates into the digital space,

qe penetron ne hapesiren dixhitale,

so when you press it hard on the screen,

keshtu qe, kur e shtyp fort ne ekran,

it transfers its physical body into pixels.

e transferon trupin ne piksel.

Designers can materialize their ideas

Ne kete menyre, dizajnerat mund ti materializojne idete e tyre

directly in 3D,

pernjeheresh ne 3D,

and surgeons can practice on virtual organs

ndersa kirurget mund te bejne praktike ne organe vitale

underneath the screen.

nen ekran.

So with this tool, this boundary has been broken.

Pra, me kete instrument, ky kufi eshte thyer.

But our two hands still remain outside the screen.

Megjithate, duart tona serish mbeten jashte ekranit.

How can you reach inside and interact

Si mund te futesh brenda dhe te nderveprosh

with the digital information

me informacionin dixhital

using the full dexterity of our hands?

duke perdorur duart tona?

At Microsoft Applied Sciences,

Ne Shkencat e Aplikuara te Microsoft,

along with my mentor Cati Boulanger,

ne bashkepunim me mentoren time Cati Boulanger,

I redesigned the computer

ridizenjova kompjuterin

and turned a little space above the keyboard

dhe munda te kthej nje hapesire te vogel mbi tastjere

into a digital workspace.

ne nje vend pune dixhitale.

By combining a transparent display and depth cameras

Duke kombinuar nje ekran dhe kamera ne thellesi

for sensing your fingers and face,

per te ndjere gishtat dhe fytyren,

now you can lift up your hands from the keyboard

tani mund te ngresh gishtat nga tastiera

and reach inside this 3D space

te hysh brenda kesaj hapesire 3D

and grab pixels with your bare hands.

dhe te kapesh piksel me duart e tua.

(Applause)

(Duartrokitje)

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

Sepse dritaret dhe dosjet kane nje pozicion ne hapesiren reale,

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

dhe zgjedhja e tyre eshte po aq e lehte sa te marresh nje liber nga rafti.

Then you can flip through this book

Me pas mund ta shfletosh kete liber

while highlighting the lines, words

ndersa nenvizon rreshtat, fjalet

on the virtual touch pad below each floating window.

ne tastieren virtuale me prekje nen cdo dritare levizese.

Architects can stretch or rotate the models

Arkitektet mund ti zgjasin ose rrotullojne modelet

with their two hands directly.

direkt me duart e tyre.

So in these examples,

Pra, ne keto shembuj,

we are reaching into the digital world.

ne jemi duke iu afruar botes dixhitale.

But how about reversing its role

Po sikur ti ndryshonim rolet

and having the digital information reach us instead?

dhe te benim te mundur qe informacioni dixhital te vinte tek ne?

I'm sure many of us have had the experience

Jam i sigurt qe shume prej nesh kane patur eksperience

of buying and returning items online.

ne blerjen dhe kthimin e mallrave online.

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

Tashme nuk keni pse merakoseni me.

What I got here is an online augmented fitting room.

Cfare kam ketu, eshte nje dhome prove online.

This is a view that you get from

Kjo eshte pamja qe keni nga

head-mounted or see-through display

ekrani i tejdukshem ose mbi-koke

when the system understands the geometry of your body.

ne momentin kur sistemi e kupton gjeometrine e trupit tend.

Taking this idea further, I started to think,

Duke dashur ta zhvilloj kete ide me tej, nisa te mendoj

instead of just seeing these pixels in our space,

se si ne vend qe ti shohim keto piksel ne hapesiren tone,

how can we make it physical

si mund ta bejme te mundur

so that we can touch and feel it?

qe te mund ta prekim dhe ta ndjejme?

What would such a future look like?

Si do te duket kjo e ardhme?

At MIT Media Lab, along with my advisor Hiroshi Ishii

Ne Media Lab te MIT, ne bashkepunim me keshilltarin tim Hiroshi Ishii

and my collaborator Rehmi Post,

dhe bashkepunetorin tim Rehmi Post,

we created this one physical pixel.

ne krijuam kete piksel fizik.

Well, in this case, this spherical magnet

Ne kete rast, ky magnet sferik

acts like a 3D pixel in our space,

vepron si nje piksel 3D ne hapesiren tone,

which means that both computers and people

cka do te thote se si kompjuterat ashtu edhe njerezit

can move this object to anywhere

mund ti levizin keto objekte kudo

within this little 3D space.

neper kete hapesire te vogel 3D.

What we did was essentially canceling gravity

Ajo cka beme, ishte te anulonim gravitetin

and controlling the movement by combining

dhe te kontrollonim levizshmerine duke kombinuar

magnetic levitation and mechanical actuation

ngritjen magnetike dhe veprimin mekanik

and sensing technologies.

dhe teknologjite e ndjeshmerise.

And by digitally programming the object,

Dhe duke programuar dixhitalisht objektin,

we are liberating the object from constraints

ne jemi duke e liruar ate nga kufizimet

of time and space, which means that now,

e hapesires dhe kohes, cka nenkupton se tani,

human motions can be recorded and played back

levizjet njerezore mund te regjistrohen dhe te luhen perseri

and left permanently in the physical world.

te mbetura pergjithnje ne boten fizike.

So choreography can be taught physically over distance

Pra, koreografia mund te mesohet fizikisht ne distance

and Michael Jordan's famous shooting can be replicated

dhe gjuajtjet e famshme te Michael Jordan mund te replikohen

over and over as a physical reality.

ne vazhdimesi si nje realitet fizik.

Students can use this as a tool

Studentet mund ta perdorin kete si nje instrument

to learn about the complex concepts

per te mesuar rreth koncepteve komplekse

such as planetary motion, physics,

si levizja planetare, fizika,

and unlike computer screens or textbooks,

dhe ndryshe nga ekranet e kompjuterave dhe librat,

this is a real, tangible experience

kjo eshte nje eksperience e vertete, e prekshme

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

qe mund te preket dhe ndjehet, dhe eshte shume e fuqishme.

And what's more exciting

Por ajo cka eshte me e bukur

than just turning what's currently in the computer physical

se kthimi ne dicka fizike i asaj qe eshte ne kompjuter

is to start imagining how programming the world

eshte te fillosh te imagjinosh se si te programuarit e botes

will alter even our daily physical activities.

do te ndryshonin edhe aktivitetet tona te perditshme.

(Laughter)

(Te qeshura)

As you can see, the digital information

Sikunder mund te shihni, informacioni dixhital

will not just show us something

nuk do te na tregoje thjesht dicka

but it will start directly acting upon us

por do te nise menjehere te veproje mbi ne

as a part of our physical surroundings

si pjese e rrethinave tona fizike

without disconnecting ourselves from our world.

pa na ndare nga bota jone.

Today, we started by talking about the boundary,

Sot, e nisem duk biseduar mbi kufijte,

but if we remove this boundary,

por nqse ne i heqim keto kufij,

the only boundary left is our imagination.

i vetmi kufi qe mbetet eshte imagjinata jone.

Thank you.

Faleminderit.

(Applause)
