An industrial design student has created a high-tech third eye that can be affixed to a person’s forehead and look out for obstacles as they walk, while their real eyes are glued to their smartphone.
一名工業(yè)設(shè)計專業(yè)的學生發(fā)明了一款高科技產(chǎn)品“第三只眼”，這只“眼睛”可以貼在人的額頭上，當他們邊走路邊埋頭看手機時，這只“眼睛”可以幫他們留意前方的障礙物。
There’s no denying that smartphones have become an integral part of modern life. Most of us spend hours every day staring at our handhelds, and some even do it as we walk or drive. You’ve probably seen funny clips of people falling into water fountains or holes because they were looking at their phones, or maybe you’ve actually experienced something similar. Well, thanks to Minwook Paeng’s Third Eye, you’ll be able to text or browse Instagram as you walk, without fear of accidents.
無可否認，智能手機已經(jīng)成為現(xiàn)代生活不可分割的一部分。多數(shù)人每天都花幾個小時看手機，有些人甚至在走路或開車的時候也看手機。你應該還見過有人因為看手機掉進噴泉或洞里的搞笑視頻，說不定你自己也經(jīng)歷過類似的事情。不過，有了設(shè)計師彭敏旭的“第三只眼”，你就可以一邊走路一邊發(fā)短信或刷社交媒體，不用擔心發(fā)生事故。

Paeng’s Third eye consists of a translucent plastic case that is fixed directly to the wearer’s forehead with a thin gel pad. Inside this plastic eye are a small speaker, a gyroscopic sensor and a sonar sensor. When the gyroscope detects when the user’s head is angled down, it opens the eye’s plastic eyelid and the sonar starts to monitor the area in front of the user. When it detects an obstacle, it warns the wearer via the connected speaker.
發(fā)明的“第三只眼”包括一個半透明的塑料盒，用薄膠墊就可以直接貼在佩戴者的額頭上。塑料眼睛內(nèi)置了一個小揚聲器、回轉(zhuǎn)傳感器和聲波定位傳感器。當回轉(zhuǎn)傳感器檢測到用戶低頭時，就會開啟第三只眼的塑料眼皮，聲波定位儀就會開始監(jiān)測用戶前方區(qū)域。當傳感器檢測到障礙物時，就會通過連接的揚聲器警告佩戴者。
"The black component that looks like a pupil is an ultrasonic sensor for sensing distance,” the designer said. “When an obstacle is in front of the user, the ultrasonic sensor detects this and informs the user via a connected buzzer.”
設(shè)計師表示：“看起來像瞳孔的黑色組件是感知距離的超聲傳感器。當用戶前方有障礙物時，超聲傳感器會檢測到障礙物，并通過連接的蜂鳴器通知用戶。”
Paeng told Dezeen that his Third Eye is the first project that tries to imagine what the future generations of “phono sapiens” may end up looking like. Phones are already changing our bodies, and they’ve only been around for a couple of decades, so imagine what they can do in a few generations.
建筑設(shè)計雜志《Dezeen》說，他的“第三只眼”是首個試著想象未來“手機人類”面貌的項目。手機已經(jīng)在改變我們的身體，而它們不過才出現(xiàn)了一二十年，想象一下手機會對未來幾代人產(chǎn)生什么樣的影響吧。
"By using smartphones in a bad posture, our neck vertebrae are leaning forward giving us ‘turtle neck syndrome’ and the pinkies we rest our phones on are bending along the way,” Paeng said. “When a few generations go by, these small changes from smartphone usage will accumulate and create a completely different, new form of mankind.”
“使用手機的不良姿勢已經(jīng)導致人們的頸椎前傾，造成龜頸綜合癥，托住手機的小指也逐漸變得彎曲。幾代過后，使用手機帶來的這些小改變將會積少成多，創(chuàng)造出一種截然不同的新人類�！�
