西班牙研發智能住宅 觸屏牆壁能發微博

For internet addicts, it could be the ultimate way to stay in touch - an entire apartment turned into a giant, online screen.

對於“網蟲族”而言，足不出戶又能保持跟外界聯繫的最高境界就是住在一間巨大的、由在線屏幕組成的智能住宅裏。

The walls show Facebook updates, and life-sized friends during video chats.

房屋牆壁不僅能顯示社交網絡Facebook的實時內容，還能在跟朋友視頻聊天時顯示真人大小的投影。

It can also be controlled from anywhere - even bed - using gestures or speech.

該系統利用手勢或語音控制，隨時隨地都可進行操作，甚至躺在牀上也可以。

The system works uses projectors and sensors already available.

系統使用投影儀和傳感器工作。

'The hardware is complete but only 40 percent of the software is finished,' said Ion Cuervas-Mons, director of Think Big Factory, a Spanish design agency which created the project.

“野心工廠”的主管伊翁?庫艾爾巴斯-蒙斯介紹說：“該項目的硬件目前已基本完成，但軟件開發工作只完成了40%。”智能住宅出自這家西班牙的設計機構。

'Everything in the house can be used to communicate, the interface is ubiquitous.

“屋內的任何物品都能用來交流互動，界面無處不在。”

'Through projections that are activated by the presence of a person, we can control everything with the movement of the hands: the lights; turning on any electrical household appliances; music; even connecting to Skype for a conference from any part of the house.'

“屋裏有人時會激活投射，我們可以以此利用雙手完成一切操作，包括開關電燈、打開家電、播放音樂等，甚至可以在屋內任意一處連接到Skype，召開網絡視頻會議。”

The system aims to replace the current slew of keyboards and remote controls needed to interact with technology.

該系統旨在取代鍵盤和遙控器的大量使用，鍵盤和遙控器需要一定的技術手段才能使用。

However, Mr Cuervas-Mons claims much of the technology will be invisible.

不過庫艾爾巴斯-蒙斯表示，大部分技術設備都會是隱形的。

'I don’t think that an Openarch home is going to look any different,' he said.

他說：“歐本雅奇智能住宅看起來跟普通住宅沒什麼兩樣。“

'New technologies must be non-intrusive and natural.'

“因爲新技術都是自然融入而非介入式的。”

Mr Cuervas-Mons says the first inhabitant has already moved into the experimental apartment.

庫艾爾巴斯-蒙斯表示，目前第一位體驗者已經入住“實驗公寓”。

'He is using some parts of the house, and we are learning from that.

“他正在使用房屋的部分功能，我們正對他的使用狀況進行研究。”

'The main interface is in the living room, where you can see social networks, magazines, and play music just using gestures,' he said.

他說：“整個系統的主界面設在客廳，使用者可以在這裏用手勢操作打開社交網站、瀏覽雜誌或播放音樂。”

The prototype uses sensing cameras such as Microsoft's Kinect to track users, allowing them to swipe in mid air to move through menus.

系統原型利用了諸如微軟的Kinect外設等傳感攝像頭來追蹤使用者，使得使用者能夠在半空中滑動選擇程序菜單。

The project started three years ago, and the prototype built in an apartment in the North of Spain, all using existing technology.

項目始於三年前，住宅原型建立在西班牙北部的一套公寓裏，全部使用已有技術。

'Now we have around 40% of the applications actually running - and we hope to finish soon, then begin developing products so people can actually begin using it.'

“目前實際運行的應用程序大約有40%，我們希望能儘快完成，然後開始投入產品生產，這樣人們就能住進去了。”
