From the makers behind the viral iPhone 5 concept that envisioned the device with a stunning laser keyboard comes a breathtaking new vision for the iPad 3, with an edge-to-edge retina display and 3D multiplayer hologram for gaming.
曾经在网上疯狂传播的iPhone 5概念设计视频,为未来的iPhone引入了迷人的激光键盘,该视频背后的设计师今天再次推出惊人之作-全新功能的iPad 3概念设计,它为未来的iPad配置了“边到边”视网膜显示器和应用于多人游戏的三维全息图像。
Now, this is exactly what not to expect to be unveiled at Apple's iPad press event next week. A flurry of feature speculations have taken the web by storm following the news that the company will launch a product on March 7 in San Francisco, but this clever video from Aatma Studio — whose iPhone 5 Concept Features video raked in nearly 50 million views on YouTube — takes it a step further and opens up a world of possibilities for the future of tablets.
现在我们并不会期望这个设计会在苹果下周的iPad发布会上出现。苹果将于3月7日在三藩市推出iPad新版本的新闻公布后,网上热烈讨论传说中的iPad 3新功能,Aatma工作室更为进取,为平板电脑未来的可能性开辟了新思路,它过去创作的“iPhone 5概念功能”这个创意视频在YouTube上的点击率高达5000万次。
For example, it toys with the option of a 2560 x 1140 resolution edge-to-edge retina display, which gives the allusion of a larger visual screen area. In the video, the entire screen serves as the home button.
例如,该设计虚构出分辨率达2560x1140的“边到边”视网膜显示器,可以形成更大视域的屏幕。在视频中,整个屏幕如同家居中的按键。
Although this notion is already possible with today's tech advancements, it doesn't seem likely for the next-generation iPad, especially since the event invitation features an image of a touchscreen device with a frame.
尽管这样的构想在技术上可行,但它不大可能成为下一代iPad的功能,而且在苹果向媒体发出的产品发布邀请函上可以肯定新版iPad仍然带有个框框。
However, Aatma plays up the possibility in the video. It takes one iPad and places it next to another and the first takes over the screen of the second — similar to having two screens for a desktop computer.
Aatma工作室在视频中玩了点新意,将一个iPad放在另一个iPad旁边,两个iPad的画面拼合在一起,就象一部台式电脑的两个屏幕。
"Although the tablet form factor is great, we felt the need for a larger visual real estate," Pramod Modi Shantharam, the CEO and animation director at Aatma, told Mashable. "We eliminated the black border of current iPad and thought it would be a great visual experience for users who bring their iPads together utilizing their internal magnets."
“尽管平板电脑的尺寸和外型相当不错,但我们希望有更大可视范围的设备出现。”Aatma的CEO、动画总监Pramod Modi Shantharam说:“我们去除iPad的黑色边框,对于将多台iPad放在一起实现内部连网的玩家来说,这是一个不错的视觉体验。”
This would allow users to stream videos or watch a movie on two iPad screens at once. The studio used internal magnets with near field communications (NFC) technology to make it happen.
它允许用户同时在两个iPad屏幕上播放视频或观看电影。该工作室利用基于近场通信技术(NFC)的内部连网方式来实现这个功能。
"Consider a scenario where a family of four brings their individual iPads together at an airport while waiting for their flight with a master iPad controlling all screens," Shantharam added. "This could facilitate new original forms of media content in the future."
Shantharam说:“想像一下这样的情景,一家四口在机场等候时,将四部独立的iPad放在一起,然后由其中一部控制所有屏幕。这种技术可以促进新媒体形式的诞生。”
But perhaps the most innovative feature in the video is a 3D multiplayer hologram for gaming. Game controllers project out onto the surface of the table, while two players play a football game with the help of the two combined iPads.
视频中最具创意的功能可能是为游戏设计的可多人操作的3D全息图。利用投影在桌面上的游戏控制器,两名玩家可以通过两部相连的iPad玩足球游戏。
"The 3D holographic display was a popular feature in our iPhone 5 concept video and we wanted to extend that to the iPad," Shantharam said. "Users could experience a three-dimensional floating holographic screen with combined iPads, making it an exciting use case for multiplayer games."
Shantharam还说:“在“iPhone 5概念功能”视频中,3D全息图显示器是个热点,我们希望将这个功能延伸到iPad上。用户可以通过相连的多台iPad体验三维悬浮全息屏幕,它将成为多人游戏中的亮点。”
