Virtual reality started for me
in sort of an unusual place.

對於我來說，
虛擬實境是以一種特殊方式開始的。

程度副詞

I got into the field very young:
I was seven years old.

我在非常年輕的時候就加入這個領域，
當時我七歲，

And the tool that I used 
to access virtual reality

而那個讓我進入虛擬實境的工具

是艾佛·克尼沃的特技飛車模型。

This is a commercial for 
that particular item:

艾佛正在表演驚人的飛車特技，

That gyro-power sends him 
over 100 feet at top speed.

他以最高速讓陀螺轉子的力量 
到達 100 英尺的高度。

Chris Milk: So this was my joy back then.

克里斯·米爾克：這就是我當時的娛樂。

And I was there with Evel Knievel; we 
jumped the Snake River Canyon together.

我和艾佛·克尼沃一起
跳過了蛇湖峽谷。

I never got the rocket,
I only got the motorcycle.

但我卻沒得到那個火箭，
我只有得到摩托車。

這讓我感覺到我與世界緊緊相連。

I didn't want to be a storyteller 
when I grew up, I wanted to be stuntman.

我不想長大後成是一個講故事人，
我想成為一個特技演員。

我就在那裡，
艾佛·克尼沃是我的朋友。

And this is one of the early
music videos that I made:

這是我早期製作的音樂影片之一：

（音樂：「觸摸蒼穹」 凱恩·韋斯特）

CM: You may notice 
some slight similarities here.

克里斯·米爾克：你可能會發現
一些細微的相同點。

So, now I'm a filmmaker,
or, the beginning of a filmmaker,

所以，現在我是一個電影製片人，
或者說，一個新手的電影製片人。

and I started using the tools that are
available to me as a filmmaker

我開始嘗試運用
我可以利用的製片工具

to try to tell the most compelling stories
that I can to an audience.

將故事以吸引人方式帶給觀眾。

And film is this incredible medium
that allows us to feel empathy

而電影，是不可思議的媒介，
讓我們感同身受，

for people that are very different than us

and worlds completely 
foreign from our own.

和那些對我們而言陌生的世界。

Evel Knievel did not feel the same 
empathy for us that we felt for him,

艾佛·克尼沃並沒有
感受到我們的感受，

On the upside, the man 
that I worshipped as a child,

不過就好的方面來說，
那個我小時候一直崇拜的男人，

the man that I wanted 
to become as an adult,

電影，
是一種不可思議的媒介，

but essentially, it's the same
now as it was then.

不過就本質來說，
它發展至今並沒有變化。

It's a group of rectangles that are
played in a sequence.

它只是將一組長方形（電影幀片）
按一定的順序播放。

And we've done incredible things
with those rectangles.

而我們用這些長方形
製作了很多令人難以置信的電影。

is there a way that I can use modern
and developing technologies

是否有什麼辦法，
讓我運用現代先進技術，

將故事以不同的形式表達出來，

that maybe I couldn't tell using
the traditional tools of filmmaking

那些我不能用
傳統技藝表達出來的故事，

那些已經用了 100 多年的技術？

and what I was trying to do was
to build the ultimate empathy machine.

一個終極的可以表達情感的機器。

So this is called
"The Wilderness Downtown."

一個與「拱廊之火」的合作項目。

It asked you to put in the address
where you grew up at the beginning of it.

它會請求你鍵入你成長地的地址。

And out of it starts growing these little
boxes with different browser windows.

之後，一些小方塊
會從不同的瀏覽器視窗出現。

And you see this teenager 
running down a street,

然後你會看見一個青少年在街上跑，

and then you see Google Street View
and Google Maps imagery

再然後，
你會看見谷歌街景和谷歌地圖圖像

and you realize the street
he's running down is yours.

你會意識到，那個青少年跑過的街區，
就是你童年呆過的地方。

And when he stops in front of a house,
he stops in front of your house.

當他停下的時候，
正好停在你的房子面前。

And this was great, and I saw people 
having an even deeper emotional reaction

這太棒了，
我發現大家有更深層次的情感反饋。

to this than the things that 
I had made in rectangles.

比那些長方形幀片帶來的感情更深。

And I'm essentially taking 
a piece of your history

and putting it inside 
the framing of the story.

but how do I put all of you
inside of the frame?

但我怎樣才能
將你們的全部融入這個框架呢？

So to do that, I started
making art installations.

為了達成這個目標，
我開始加入藝術效果。

And this is one called 
"The Treachery of Sanctuary."

It's a triptych. I'm going to show
you the third panel.

是一個三聯畫，
我現在向你展示第三聯畫。

那麼現在，你進入了我的框架，

and I saw people having even more
visceral emotional reactions

But then I started thinking about frames,
and what do they represent?

但是，我開始思考這些框架：
這代表了什麼？

I mean, all the media that we watch --
television, cinema --

我的意思是，
所有的媒體﹣電視、電影﹣

they're these windows into 
these other worlds.

And I thought, well, great. 
I got you in a frame.

那麼我設想，
好的，你進入了我設計的框架。

But I don't want you in the frame,
I don't want you in the window,

但我不想讓你進入裡面，
不想讓你出現在我的窗口，

I want you through the window,
I want you on the other side,

到達這個世界的另一邊，
完全融入那個世界。

So that leads me back to virtual reality.

這讓我重新開始設想虛擬實境。

talking about virtual reality
is like dancing about architecture.

虛擬實境就像
用舞蹈來解釋建築設計一樣。

And this is actually someone dancing
about architecture in virtual reality.

這真的是在虛擬世界裡
就像舞蹈之於建築。

So, it's difficult to explain.
Why is it difficult to explain?

所以這很難解釋，為甚麼難呢？

It's difficult because it's a very 
experiential medium.

因為這是一個來自個人經驗的媒介。

你會感覺到屬於你自己的方式。

it feels like real life,
it feels like truth.

就如同真實的世界 ,
它就像現實一樣。

And you feel present in the world
that you're inside
