Students Recreate Hiroshima Before, After Atomic Bomb

日本學(xué)生利用虛擬現(xiàn)實技術(shù)重建原子彈爆炸前后的廣島

Japanese high school students have created a virtual reality program to mark the 73rd anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.

日本高中生創(chuàng)建了一個虛擬現(xiàn)實程序，以紀(jì)念廣島原子彈爆炸73周年。

The American bombing on August 6, 1945, along with the bombing of Nagasaki three days later, ended World War II. The first attack killed an estimated 140,000 people.

美國在1945年8月6日的這次轟炸以及3天之后對長崎市的轟炸結(jié)束了第二次世界大戰(zhàn)。第一次轟炸造成了大約14萬人死亡。

The students produced a five-minute program that recreates the sights and sounds of Hiroshima before, during and after the bombing.

學(xué)生們制造了一個時長5分鐘的程序，重建了廣島在轟炸之前、期間以及之后的聲光效果。

Their project took two years to complete. The students and their teachers undertook the effort in hopes that such an event will never happen again.

他們的項目歷時兩年才完成。學(xué)生們及其老師付出此等努力，是希望這樣的事件永遠不會再次發(fā)生。

Virtual reality recreates an unforgettable experience

虛擬現(xiàn)實再現(xiàn)難忘經(jīng)歷

In order to experience the program, users wear virtual reality headsets.

用戶體驗該程序需要佩戴虛擬現(xiàn)實頭盔。

The program lets them take a virtual walk along the Motoyasu River before the bombing.

該程序讓他們在爆炸前沿著Motoyasu河進行一次虛擬漫步。

It shows the buildings and businesses that once stood.

它展示了曾經(jīng)矗立的那些建筑和企業(yè)。

Users also can enter a post office and the Shima Hospital courtyard. The bomb exploded directly above the hospital, completely destroying it. They can see the remains of a building now called the Atomic Bomb Dome.

用戶還可以進入郵局和Shima醫(yī)院的內(nèi)庭。炸彈直接在該醫(yī)院上空爆炸，將其完全摧毀。他們可以看到現(xiàn)在被稱為原爆圓頂塔的那些建筑遺跡。

The program shows the sunny, summer day in 1945. Cicada insects sing in the trees.

該程序展示了1945年的這個陽光明媚的夏日，知了在樹上鳴叫。

Later, a single plane flies overhead.

然后，一架飛機飛過頭頂。

Then, a flash of light, followed by a huge explosion.

然后出現(xiàn)一道閃光，接下來就發(fā)生了巨大的爆炸。

Buildings are gone in a moment. Smoke and fires spread under the darkened sky.

建筑物在一瞬間消失了，煙霧彌漫在黑暗的天空下。

Students' project: a race against time

學(xué)生們的項目：與時間賽跑

Some of the students said virtual reality technology was a good choice to reach their goal.

一些學(xué)生表示，虛擬現(xiàn)實技術(shù)是他們實現(xiàn)目標(biāo)的不錯選擇。

The students who worked on the project belong to a computer skills research club at Fukuyama Technical High School. Fukuyama is a city about 100 kilometers from Hiroshima.

參與該項目的學(xué)生隸屬于富山技術(shù)高中的計算機技能研究俱樂部。福山是一座距離廣島市約100公里的城市。

Mei Okada said of the virtual reality project, "Even without language, once you see the images, you understand."

Mei Okada談到了這一虛擬現(xiàn)實程序，“即使沒有聲音，一看到畫面你就會明白。”

Eighteen-year-old Yuhi Kakagawa said, at first, he did not have much interest in what happened so long ago. But after creating the buildings from photos of what once existed, "I felt how scary atomic bombs can be," he said. He understood that is was "really important to share this with others."

18歲的Yuhi Kakagawa表示，他最初對這么多年前發(fā)生的事情沒多大興趣 。但是在根據(jù)照片復(fù)原建筑之后，“我感覺到了原子彈有多可怕。”他明白與別人分享這一點非常重要。

To recreate Hiroshima before the bombing, students studied photographs and spoke to survivors. Then, they used software to add realistic details to the virtual reality program.

為了重建爆炸前的廣島，學(xué)生們研究了照片并與幸存者交談。然后，他們使用軟件為該虛擬現(xiàn)實程序增添了真實的細節(jié)。

"Those who knew the city very well tell us it's done very well. They say it's very nostalgic," said Katsushi Hasagawa. Hasagawa is a computer teacher who supervises the club.

Katsushi Hasagawa表示：“熟悉這座城市的人們稱我們做得很棒，他們稱其非常令人懷念。”Hasagawa是負(fù)責(zé)監(jiān)管該俱樂部的一名計算機教師。

He said seeing the effect of people remembering the past "makes me glad that we created this."

他說，看到人們緬懷過去的效應(yīng)，“讓我很高興我們創(chuàng)建了這個程序。”

The students worked through their summer vacation in classrooms without an air cooling system. Temperatures reached as high as 35 degrees Celsius as they labored to create the video.

學(xué)生們在沒有空調(diào)的教室里度過了他們的暑假。當(dāng)他們在努力制作視頻時，氣溫最高達到了35攝氏度。

Because remaining survivors are so old, Hasegawa said, it was a race against time.

Hasegawa表示，因為在世的幸存者年紀(jì)都大了，這是在與時間賽跑。
