Engineers at Stanford claim to have made a significant advancement in augmented reality by combining developments in display technologies, holographic imaging, and artificial intelligence.
斯坦福大學的工程師聲稱,通過結合顯示技術、全息成像和人工智能的發(fā)展,他們在增強現(xiàn)實方面取得了重大進展。
Researchers in the innovative field of spatial computing have created a prototype augmented reality headset that projects full-color, 3D dynamic images onto the lenses of what looks like regular glasses. This new model provides a visually immersive 3D experience in a sleek, comfortable design that is easy to wear all day, unlike today’s bulkier augmented reality systems.
空間計算創(chuàng)新領域的研究人員創(chuàng)建了一款原型AR頭戴設備,可以將全彩 3D 動態(tài)圖像投射到看起來像普通眼鏡的鏡片上。 與當今笨重的增強現(xiàn)實系統(tǒng)不同,這款新型號采用時尚、舒適的設計,提供視覺沉浸式 3D 體驗,易于全天佩戴。
“Our headset appears to the outside world just like an everyday pair of glasses, but what the wearer sees through the lenses is an enriched world overlaid with vibrant, full-color 3D computed imagery,” said Gordon Wetzstein, an associate professor of electrical engineering and an expert in the fast-emerging field of spatial computing. Wetzstein and a team of engineers introduce their device in a new paper in the journal Nature.
“我們的設備在外界看來就像一副日常眼鏡,但佩戴者通過鏡片看到的是一個豐富的世界,覆蓋著充滿活力的全彩色3D計算圖像,”電子工程副教授、快速發(fā)展的空間計算領域專家戈登·韋茨斯坦說。韋茨斯坦和一組工程師在雜志上的一篇新論文中介紹了他們的設備自然.
Though only a prototype now, such a technology, they say, could transform fields stretching from gaming and entertainment to training and education – anywhere computed imagery might enhance or inform the wearer’s understanding of the world around them.
他們表示,盡管現(xiàn)在還只是一個原型,但這種技術可能會改變從游戲和娛樂到培訓和教育的各個領域——任何地方的計算機圖像都可能增強或告知佩戴者對周圍世界的理解。
“One could imagine a surgeon wearing such glasses to plan a delicate or complex surgery or airplane mechanic using them to learn to work on the latest jet engine,” Manu Gopakumar, a doctoral student in the Wetzstein-led Stanford Computational Imaging lab and co-first author of the paper said.
韋茨斯坦領導的斯坦福計算成像實驗室的博士生、該論文的第一作者之一馬努·戈帕庫馬爾說:“人們可以想象外科醫(yī)生戴著這種眼鏡來計劃一項精細或復雜的手術,或者飛機機械師使用這種眼鏡來學習使用最新的噴氣發(fā)動機。”
