Better said, what the angular resolution is of the things that you see. 确切的说,角分辨率取决于你所看到的事物。
angular:adj.[生物]有角的;生硬的,笨拙的;瘦削的; resolution:n.解决;分辨;解析;决议;
So from that perspective, what you saw -- you know, the camera is wearing a HoloLens. 所从这一认知出发,你所看到的—— 你知道的,这个摄像机带着一个HoloLens。
So even if I wanted to cheat, I can't. 所以,即便我想作假,也没办法。
HW: But the camera has a different lens on it than our eye. Right? 海伦:但是,摄像机的镜头有别于人眼,对吗？
AK: The camera has a fish-eye lens on it. 埃里克斯:这个摄像机有个鱼眼镜头。
fish-eye:adj.鱼眼镜头的;眼光怀疑的;
It's seeing a much wider view than the human eye is. 它的视野比人类更广。
So if you think about the points of light that show up radially from the vision of the camera, which is the thing that matters: how many points of light can I get in a given volume ? 所以如果你想象一下关键的问题, 在摄像机视线范围内 能看到多少光点？ 而同样的数量的光点中我又能看到有多少？
radially:adv.放射状地; volume:n.体积;容积;音量;响度;一册;合订本
That's the same as I get on this HoloLens as I will on that one. 我的这台HoloLens能看到的和摄像机上那台是一样的。
Now, this camera sees a much wider view of the world, right? 所以,这个摄像机看到的世界更宽广,对吗？
HW: Jesus Christ ! 海伦:我的天！
Jesus:int.上帝啊:天哪:n.耶稣:耶稣基督: Christ:n.基督;耶稣基督
(Laughter) （笑声）
AK: He did show up! I told you he'd show up. 埃里克斯:他出现了。我说过他会出现的。
Come this way. 到这边来。
(Laughter) （笑声）
HW: Oh, shit. 海伦:哦,见鬼。
AK: And there's holographic Jeff Norris. 埃里克斯:杰夫的全息影像又出现了。
HW: I knew something was happening, but I really wasn't sure what. 海伦:我知道有些事情会发生,但不知道是会是什么事情。
AK: So in short: to be super crisp , the camera that you see on the screen has a wider field of view than the human eye. 埃里克斯:所以长话短说; 最明显的区别便是摄像机的镜头视野 比人眼更为开阔。
crisp:adj.脆的;新鲜的;易碎的;v.使卷曲;使发脆;n.松脆物;油炸马铃薯片;
But the angular resolution of the holograms that you see, the points of light per unit of area, are actually the same. 但是它和你们所看到的全息影像的角分辨率, 以及在单位面积中看到的光点, 确实完全相同的。
HW: So you spent -- Jeff, I'll get to you in a minute -- so you spent a lot of time mapping the stage -- 海伦:所以你花费……杰夫我很快会找你的—— 所以你花了很长的时间去测绘这个舞台——
AK: That's right. 埃里克斯:是的。
HW: So help me out here: if I buy a HoloLens and have it at home, 海伦:所以请问？ 如果我买了一台HoloLens并带回家,
I don't need to map my apartment, right? 我不需要去测绘我的公寓住所吧？
AK: The HoloLens maps in real time at about five frames per second, with this technology that we call spatial mapping. 埃里克斯:HoloLens每秒都会对5条边缘进行即时扫描, 用这种我们称之为空间扫描的技术。
real time:adj.实时的;接到指示立即执行的; frames:n.[计][电子][通信]帧,[电影]画面;[建][计]框架;眼镜架(frame的复数); spatial:adj.空间的;存在于空间的;受空间条件限制的;
So in your home, as soon as you put it on, holograms will start showing up, and you'll start placing them and they'll start learning your home. 所以在你家里,当你戴上它, 全息影像便能展现,你可以开始摆弄它们 它们将开始熟悉你的家。
In a stage environment where we're trying to get something on my head to communicate with something over there with all of the wireless connectivity that usually brings all conferences down, we don't take the risk of trying to do this live. 在这样一个舞台的环境中我们想将戴在我头上的东西, 通过这种经常将各种演讲会议搞砸的无线连接技术, 与那边的机器进行互通, 我们不想在这场直播中冒风险。
wireless:adj.无线的;无线电的;n.无线电;v.用无线电发送; connectivity:n.[数]连通性; conferences:n.会议(conference的复数形式);
So what we do is pre-map the stage at five frames per second with the same spatial-mapping technology that you'll use with the product at home, and then we store it, 所以我们做的就是事先测绘这个舞台, 运用和在你们家中产品上同样的 每秒对5边扫描的空间扫描技术。 然后我们将数据存储,
so that when there's shenanigans of wireless in an environment like this, between the camera's HoloLens and the one on my head, we don't have things disappear . 因此当遇到这样一个无线环境不稳定时, 摄像机及我所戴的HoloLens之间所见的影像, 便不会无故消失。
shenanigans:n.恶作剧;诈骗;诡计;(shenanigan的复数) disappear:v.消失;失踪;不复存在;
Because ultimately, the holograms are coming from this HoloLens, and that one is just viewing the HoloLens. 因为最终,所有的全息影像都来自于这台HoloLens, 而那台HoloLens只是在旁观它。
So if I lose connectivity, you would stop seeing beautiful things on the screen. 所以如果我的连接断开, 你们就无法从屏幕上看到这些美丽的东西。
HW: And it was beautiful. 海伦:这确实美丽。
Um ... Jeff? 呃……杰夫？
JN: Yes? 杰夫里:嗯？
HW: Hi. 海伦:你好。
AK: I'll take a step back. 埃里克斯:我要退后一步。
HW: So Jeff, you were on Mars, you were here, you were in a room across the street. 海伦:杰夫,你现在在火星上, 你也在这个舞台上,同时你在马路对面的房间内。
Tell me more about the fact that, with holograms, you have sight but you don't have touch, you don't have smell. 告诉我更多的实情,在全息影像里,你能看到 但是你无法触碰,没有嗅觉。
Is this scientifically useful now? 所以它对科学来说有帮助吗？
scientifically:adv.系统地;合乎科学地;学问上;
That's my question for a hologram. 这便是我对全息影像的问题、
JN: Thanks for the question. 杰夫里:谢谢你的问题。
Absolutely, I believe that these technologies are scientifically useful right now, and that's why we're using them in multiple parts of our work at NASA. 当然,我相信这项科技 现在对科学来说非常有用, 因此我们美国航天局的许多工作中都有用到它。
technologies:n.技术;科技(technology的复数); multiple:adj.数量多的;多种多样的;n.倍数;
So we're using it to improve the ways that we explore Mars. 我们用它来改善探索火星的方式。
improve:v.改进;改善;
We're also using it for our astronauts on the space station . 也让在空间站的宇航员们使用它。
space station:n.太空站;航天站;宇宙空间站;
We're even using it now to design the next generation of our spacecraft . 现在我们甚至用它, 来设计下一代的宇宙飞船。
spacecraft:n.[宇]宇宙飞船;航天器;
HW: Amazing. OK, Jeff, please go away. Thank you very much. 海伦:不可思议。好了,杰夫请下线吧。非常谢谢你。
(Laughter) （笑声）
Alex, really, that was amazing. Thank you so much. 埃里克斯,这真的非常神奇。非常感谢。
AK: Thank you. AK:谢谢。
HW: Thank you. Thank you. HW:谢谢。谢谢你们。
(Applause) （掌声）
