如果我們的手機也可以如同我們一樣的看這個世界

情態助動詞 A2

could see the world in the same way that we do,

現在進行式

and then have it actually recognize images and objects

like the human brain, and then be able to pull in information

from an almost infinite library of knowledge

並且能夠從幾乎無止盡的知識庫中

Well, traditionally that was seen as science fiction,

當然， 這在傳統上會被視為科幻小說了

So the best way of explaining it is to just show it.

所以最好的說明方法就是直接來展示它

who is holding my phone that's now plugged in.

偉人詩人羅伯特·伯恩斯的畫像

but if we now switch inputs over to the phone,

effectively what Tamara's seeing on the screen,

你就可以看到現在Tamara 在螢幕上所看到的東西

Voice: Now simmer blinks on flowery braes ...

聲音：百花齊放的山丘綻放著光芒

Matt Mills: Now, what's great about this is,

And what's great about this is the technology's

actually allowing the phone to start to see and understand

它可以讓手機開始像人類的腦袋

Not only that, but as I move the object around,

而且不只是這樣  當我移動物體時

it's going to track it and overlay that content seamlessly.

它也能追蹤並且順暢的疊蓋內容

Again, the thing that's incredible about this is

this is how advanced these devices have become.

All the processing to do that was actually done

whether in things like art in museums, like you just saw,

像是博物館裡的藝術品  如同你看到的

or in the world of, say, advertising, or print journalism.

So a newspaper becomes out of date as soon as it's printed.

當一份報紙被印出來  它馬上就過時了

and we have some Wimbledon news, which is great.

我們看到一些溫布頓的新聞，非常好

Now what we can do is point at the front of the newspaper

我們現在能做的就是將手機對准這份報紙

Voice: ... To the grass, and it's very important that you adapt

and you, you have to be flexible, you have to be willing

你必須自覺的在瞬間就改變方向

and she does all that. She's won this title.

MM: And that linking of the digital content

麥特·米爾斯：將數位內容與實體物質相連

to something that's physical is what we call an aura, and

I'll be using that term a little bit as we go through the talk.

我會使用持續在演講中使用這個名詞

So, what's great about this is it isn't just a faster,

這東西很棒的地方在于， 它不僅提供了一種更快

more convenient way to get information in the real world,

更方便的從現實世界中獲取資訊的途徑

but there are times when actually using this medium

allows you to be able to display information in a way

So what I have here is a wireless router.

My American colleagues have told me I've got to call it a router,

我的美國同事說我必須叫他路由器

so that everyone here understands — (Laughter) —

So now what I can do is, rather than getting the instructions

我現在除了翻閱線上的說明手冊

for the device online, I can simply point at it,

Voice: Begin by plugging in the grey ADSL cable.

Then connect the power. Finally, the yellow ethernet cable.

然後連結電源  最後插上黃色的乙太網路線

Congratulations. You have now completed setup.

(笑聲)  麥特·米爾斯：很驚人吧  謝謝

The incredible work that made that possible was done

這驚人的成果是由英國劍橋的科學家

here in the U.K. by scientists at Cambridge,

and I've got a lovely picture of them here.

They couldn't all be on stage, but we're going to

bring their aura to the stage, so here they are.

但我們把他們的aura 帶到台上  這就是了

This was the fourth take, I'm told. (Laughter)

跟你們說  這可是第四次拍攝  (笑聲)

Okay. So, as we're talking about Cambridge,

let's now move on to technical advancements,

because since we started putting this technology

on mobile phones less than 12 months ago,

the speed and the processing in these devices

and that means that I can now take cinema-quality

這代表我可以使用高畫素的3維模型

3D models and place them in the world around me,

麥特·米爾斯：也許我應該躲開

So then, after the fun, comes the more emotional side

of what we do, because effectively, this technology

allows you to see the world through someone's eyes,

因為這項技術讓你可以透過其它人的眼睛看世界

and for that person to be able to take a moment in time

and effectively store it and tag it to something physical
