LeahBuechley_2011Y-_如何“手绘”电_
|
Today, I'm going to talk to you about sketching electronics . |
今天,我要向大家介绍手绘电路技术。 |
sketching:v.画素描;画速写;概述;简述;(sketch的现在分词) electronics:n.电子学;电子工业;
|
I'm, among several other things, an electrical engineer, and that means that I spend a good amount of time designing and building new pieces of technology , and more specifically designing and building electronics. |
我的身份之一是电子工程师, 这意味着我将很大一部分时间 用在设计和建造新技术上, 更具体说就是设计和构造电路。 |
electrical:adj.有关电的;电气科学的; technology:n.技术;工艺;术语; specifically:adv.特别地;明确地;
|
And what I've found is that the process of designing and building electronics is problematic in all sorts of ways. |
可是我发现电路的设计构造过程 无论从那个角度看,都存在问题。 |
process:v.处理;加工;列队行进;n.过程,进行;方法,adj.经过特殊加工(或处理)的; problematic:adj.问题的;有疑问的;不确定的;
|
So it's a really slow process, it's really expensive, and the outcome of that process, namely electronic circuit boards, are limited in all sorts of kind of interesting ways. |
开发时间太长,花的钱太多, 最终的产出 就是一块电路板, 怎么看都不那么有趣。 |
outcome:n.结果,结局;成果; namely:adv.也就是;即是;换句话说; circuit:n.环行路线;电路;线路;巡回赛;v.巡回;周游; limited:adj.有限的; n.高级快车; v.限制; (limit的过去分词和过去式)
|
So they're really small, generally , they're square and flat and hard, and frankly, most of them just aren't very attractive , and so my team and I have been thinking of ways to really change and mix up the process and the outcome of designing electronics. |
它们都很小,一般都是四四方方的 又平又硬,老实说,大多数电路板 都没啥意思,所以我和我的小组 一直在思考怎样才能彻底改变 电路的设计过程和最终的产出。 |
generally:adv.通常;普遍地,一般地; attractive:adj.吸引人的;有魅力的;引人注目的;
|
And so what if you could design and build electronics like this? So what if you could do it extremely quickly, extremely inexpensively , and maybe more interestingly , really fluidly and expressively and even improvisationally? |
如果可以这样设计和构造电路会不会很好? 如果你可以非常快速的构造电路, 超级便宜,并且非常有趣 非常流畅,非常直观,甚至是即兴地构造? |
what if:如果…怎么办? extremely:adv.非常,极其;极端地; inexpensively:adv.廉价地,不践地;花费不多地; interestingly:adv.有趣地; fluidly:流动地;不定地;液体地;流畅地;
|
Wouldn't that be so cool, and that wouldn't that open up all sorts of new possibilities? |
这样是不是很酷,会不会给电路设计 带来更多的可能性? |
I'm going to share with you two projects that are investigations along these lines, and we'll start with this one. |
我接下来介绍的两个项目 就是针对这两个问题。这是第一个。 |
investigations:n.调查(investigation的复数);
|
(Video) Magnetic electronic pieces and ferrous paper. |
(视频)电磁元件,和含铁的纸 |
Magnetic:adj.像磁铁的;有磁性的;磁的;富有吸引力的; ferrous:adj.[化学]亚铁的;铁的,含铁的;
|
A conductive pen from the Lewis lab at UIUC. |
导电笔,来自UIUC大学 Lewis 实验室 |
conductive:adj.传导的;传导性的;有传导力的;
|
Sticker templates . |
贴纸模板 |
Sticker:n.粘贴标签;贴纸; templates:n.模板;范本(template的复数);属性单元;
|
Speed x 4. |
(四倍速度播放) |
Making a switch. |
做一个开关 |
Music: DJ Shadow. |
音乐:《DJ Shadow》 |
Adding some intelligence with a microcontroller. |
加上一个高级一点的控制器 |
intelligence:n.智力;智慧;才智;(尤指关于敌国的)情报;
|
Sketching an interface . |
画一个交互的接口 |
interface:n.接口;人机界面;连接电路;v.连接;
|
(Music) |
(音乐)(钢琴的声音) |
(Laughter) |
(笑声) |
(Applause) |
(掌声) |
Pretty cool, huh? We think so. |
很酷吧!我们也这么觉得。 |
So now that we developed these tools and found these materials that let us do these things, we started to realize that, essentially , anything that we can do with paper, anything that we can do with a piece of paper and a pen we can now do with electronics. |
我们开发了这些工具 发现这些工具能够做这么多的事情, 我们意识到:本质上来说, 任何能用纸完成的事情, 任何靠纸和笔能做到的事情, 我们都可以做成电路来完成。 |
essentially:adv.本质上;本来;
|
So the next project that I want to show you is kind of a deeper exploration of that possibility. |
下一个要我要展示给大家的项目 更深入的探索了手绘电路的各种可能性。 |
exploration:n.探索;勘探;探险;[医]探查术;
|
And I'll kind of let it speak for itself. |
接下来不用我解释。 |
speak for:要求得到;代表…讲话;
|
(Music) |
(音乐) |
(Applause) |
(掌声) |
So the next step for us in this process is now to find a way to let all of you build things like this, and so the way that we're approaching that is by teaching workshops to people where we explain |
我们下一个目标 是让你们所有人 都能做出类似的东西来。 为了达到这个目标 我们举办教学沙龙 |
approaching:v.靠近,接近;接洽;建议;要求;(approach的现在分词) workshops:n.工作坊,[工业]车间;研习会,讲习班(workshop的复数形式);
|
how they can use these kinds of tools, and then also working to get the tools and the materials and techniques out into the real world in a variety of ways. |
来教大家如何使用这些工具 我们也在努力将这些工具和技术 通过多种途径传播到(实验室之外的)现实世界中。 |
techniques:n.技巧;技艺;工艺;技术;(technique的复数) variety:n.多样;种类;杂耍;变化,多样化;
|
And so sometime soon, you'll be able to play and build and sketch with electronics in this fundamentally new way. |
所以不久后,你们就可以用这个新颖的技术 自己构造手绘电路了。 |
fundamentally:adv.从根本上;基础地;重要地
|
So thank you very much. (Applause) |
非常感谢。(掌声) |
