我对滚轮有兴趣, 但还需要多几个,所以就跟朋友借他的鼠标 一直没还他 -- 这样就有了四个滚轮。 |

|
interface:n.接口;人机界面;连接电路;v.连接;
|
| So, here, whatever movement I do in my physical world is actually replicated inside the digital world just using this small device that I made, around eight years back, in 2000. |
所以,现在,不论我在实体世界做什么, 在数字的世界里就会反映出来 只要用这个我8年前做的小东西就可以, 那是2000年。 |

|
query:n.疑问,质问;疑问号;[计]查询;vt.询问;对…表示疑问;vi.询问;表示怀疑;

| In another exploration, |
另一项探索是, |
| I thought of making a pen that can draw in three dimensions . |
我想到用一枝可以画3D效果的笔 |
|
dimensions:n.规模,大小;
|
| So, I implemented this pen that can help designers and architects not only think in three dimensions, but they can actually draw so that it's more intuitive to use that way. |
