更新日期:2009/08/18 22:40 劉芳卿

美國華盛頓州，舉行一場天梯會議，科學家計畫在2031年前，打造3萬5千多公里的天梯，直達太空；這個構想中的天梯，是透過奈米管製成的纜線攀緣而上，為人類提供更環保更便宜的太空旅遊，探尋太空的奧秘。

OS：也就是最遲到了2031年，就會有3萬5千多公里可上太空的天梯！？

這個影片是在SIGGRAPH 2009大會上，由東京大學的研究人員發明的可觸摸的3D全息圖。

由 光波溝成的3D圖像是觸摸不到的，但「空中超聲波觸覺顯示」（Airborne Ultrasound Tactile Display）的技術則可以為圖像添加「觸覺」，該設備使用聲輻射壓（acoustic radiation pressure）的原理在實驗者的手上製造壓迫感，形成「觸覺」，該技術亦可反過頭來讓那些圖像在觸碰實物時有如真實物理現像的圖像變化，如球形圖像在 撞到人手時會使球形圖像反彈。當研究人員在手指貼上反光標誌，則可利用Wiimotes追手指的位置，使3D圖像也跟著手指移動。此外在沒有直接接觸3D 圖像的情況下，3D圖像的質素不會降低。

那些研究人員認為這些技術可用於視頻遊戲或3D CAD軟體上，我想這種技術可以使視頻遊戲更有真實的感覺，例如打槍Game可能會猶如打War Game般有給子彈打中的感覺，玩運動遊戲時(如打球)會有「球感」，亦可以摸摸遊戲中的寵物，在遊戲中有角色在哭泣時可用手感覺到他/她的眼淚，當然也 不排除遊戲廠商會把這種技術使用在戀愛甚至H Game上，如果用在3D CAD軟體上則可能會出現超真實的房屋示範單位。

如用在動畫上，不知大家又想到甚麼？

地球是圓的是因為？

地球是圓的，是因為？

一、摸起來是圓的。

二、聽起來是圓的。

三、看起來是圓的。

四、吃起來是圓的。

 

Answer：回答一的，我想問你，你以為地球可以當皮球拍哦？

             回答三的，我想問你，你到過外太空看過地球麼？你只看過照片吧，

             而照片是平面的，並不能證明什麼。

             回答四的，我想問你，你吃過地球哦？你當地球是湯圓還是粉圓啊？

             回答二的，別得意，我想告訴你，改天你去Flat Earth Society，那地球是不是就變形了？
