元宇宙的承諾遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超出了數(shù)字空間——它也可以改變和豐富我們體驗物質(zhì)世界的方式。從將社區(qū)聚集在一起的視頻游戲到與物理空間碰撞的數(shù)字藝術(shù)，增強現(xiàn)實設(shè)計師 Sutu 分享了一些由 AR Metaverse 技術(shù)激發(fā)的令人難以置信的創(chuàng)造力，并邀請我們所有人參與建設(shè)它的未來。

Do you remember when we all had to stop the spread and stay at home??Well, I tell you, one of the unexpected,?positive things to come out of that time --?well, other than the normalization of comfortable clothing in public,?obviously --

你還記得我們都必須阻止傳播并留在家里嗎？?好吧，我告訴你，?那段時間出現(xiàn)的一件意想不到的積極的事情——?好吧，除了在公共場合穿著舒適的衣服，?顯然——

was that my industry, digital art?and immersive entertainment,experienced a huge surge of interest.?More folks than ever before turned to their screens?to seek out digital experiences and online connection?and well, social connection in online spaces.We couldn't connect in-person,?so suddenly, our digital lives took on a whole new level of importance.?This sudden global demandaccelerated the research and development?of a previously sci-fi concept?known as the metaverse.?In the metaverse, we will connect with one another as virtual avatars.?We will live, work and play together,?building a whole new, magical dimension of existence.

是我的行業(yè)，數(shù)字藝術(shù)?和沉浸式娛樂，?經(jīng)歷了巨大的興趣。?比以往任何時候都更多的人轉(zhuǎn)向他們的屏幕?來尋找數(shù)字體驗和在線聯(lián)系以及在線空間中的社交聯(lián)系。?我們無法親自聯(lián)系，?所以突然間，我們的數(shù)字生活變得更加重要。?這種突如其來的全球需求?加速了以前稱為元宇宙的科幻概念的研究和開發(fā)。?在元宇宙中，我們將作為虛擬化身相互連接。我們將一起生活、工作和娛樂，建立一個全新的、神奇的存在維度。

It sounds like a dream, right??Well, technically, it’s a programmer’s nightmare.?But if we can pull it off,?it will become the world's largest community-driven?digital world-building experiment to date.

這聽起來像個夢，對吧？?好吧，從技術(shù)上講，這是程序員的噩夢。但如果我們能夠成功，?它將成為迄今為止世界上最大的社區(qū)驅(qū)動的數(shù)字世界建設(shè)實驗。

But we don't want to sit inside staring at our screens anymore.?At least I don't.?I love my digital art,?but I want to take it with me out into the real world.?So let's do that.

但是我們不想再坐在里面盯著我們的屏幕了。?至少我沒有。?我喜歡我的數(shù)字藝術(shù)，?但我想把它帶入現(xiàn)實世界。?所以讓我們這樣做。

This is (Never) Lonely Boy.?He's sitting in the abandoned lot by himself,?until he's surrounded by his virtual friends.?Now, what if those virtual friends could join me here on the TED stage?

這是（從不）孤獨的男孩。?他一個人坐在廢棄的地段，?直到他被他的虛擬朋友包圍。?現(xiàn)在，如果那些虛擬朋友可以和我一起登上 TED 舞臺呢？

Hey, little buddies.?Now, ideally, we'd all be wearing augmented reality glasses,?but consumer-ready AR glasses are not quite there yet,?but this is kind of cool.?But how can we build on this?You know, what's next??And is there a way for the digital experiences that we create?to truly enrich our physical lives?

嘿，小伙伴們。?現(xiàn)在，理想情況下，我們都將戴上增強現(xiàn)實眼鏡，但面向消費者的增強現(xiàn)實眼鏡還沒有出現(xiàn)，?但這有點酷。?但是我們?nèi)绾卧诖嘶A(chǔ)上進行構(gòu)建呢？?你知道，下一步是什么？?有沒有辦法讓我們創(chuàng)造的數(shù)字體驗?真正豐富我們的物質(zhì)生活？

So today I'll propose three pillars,?for what I think will help us build a healthy metaverse.?Starting off with pillar number one: community.?So back in 2010,?I had a very enriching experiencewhen I got to collaborate with a bunch of geniuses?in the Pilbara desert in northern western Australia.?Meet the Love Punks.?So we went about our digital world-building in a very analog way.We got dressed up,?we put on a face paint,?we built sets,?and then we brainstormed our stories by acting them out.?Now, what blew my mind was how invested these young people became?in their digital identities and their digital world-building,?that it motivated them to show up every single day,?for two years,?to learn how to color themselves in the comic?and animate themselves in the video game.?Now, the Love Punks began as a collaboration?with a community of around 40 people and five grandmas.?There was --?Grandmas, they were the wildest punks.

所以今天我將提出三個支柱，?因為我認(rèn)為這將幫助我們建立一個健康的元宇宙。?從第一支柱開始：社區(qū)。?所以回到 2010 年，當(dāng)我?在澳大利亞西部北部的皮爾巴拉沙漠與一群天才合作時，我獲得了非常豐富的經(jīng)歷。?認(rèn)識愛朋克。因此，我們以一種非常模擬的方式構(gòu)建了我們的數(shù)字世界。我們穿好衣服，涂上面部彩繪，搭建布景，然后通過表演來集思廣益。現(xiàn)在，讓我大吃一驚的是這些年輕人如何投入到他們的數(shù)字身份和他們的數(shù)字世界建設(shè)中，?這促使他們在兩年內(nèi)?每天都出現(xiàn)，學(xué)習(xí)如何在漫畫中為自己著色?并在視頻游戲中為自己制作動畫。?現(xiàn)在，Love Punks 開始?與大約 40 人和五位祖母的社區(qū)合作。?有——?祖母，他們是最狂野的朋克。

And in Australia,?they went on to inspire a live-action TV seriesand a national curriculum?teaching young Australians how to become Love Punks.

在澳大利亞，?他們繼續(xù)啟發(fā)了一部真人電視劇?和一個國家課程，教授年輕的澳大利亞人如何成為愛朋克。

It's not bad for a bunch of punks.

這對一群朋克來說還不錯。

So that experience highlighted to me?how the digital worlds we build can be a wonderful playground?for exploring identity, for learning new skills,?for practicing creativity?and bringing our communities together.

因此，這一經(jīng)歷向我強調(diào)了?我們構(gòu)建的數(shù)字世界如何成為?探索身份、學(xué)習(xí)新技能、?實踐創(chuàng)造力?和將我們的社區(qū)團結(jié)在一起的絕佳游樂場。

And that brings us to pillar number two:?technology?and more specifically, access to technology.?We need to ensure everyone can participate in this future metaverse.?So around the same time as Love Punks,?I began imagining how to scale these digital world-building ideas?in my cyberpunk web comic called Nawlz.Now I imagined, like, a future digital culture?where the youth had chips in their head?that allowed them to project their art and imagination?onto a shared digital layer that covered themselvesand their city.?So like,?they could hang out at the club wearing their virtual fashion.?Or they could get chased down the street?by some crazy digital tentacle things that got pretty weird.?That digital culture would be described today?as an augmented reality metaverse.?Now we're probably not all ready to get chips in our heads,?but thankfully we can access augmented reality on our mobile devices.

這給我們帶來了第二個支柱：?技術(shù)?，更具體地說，是獲得技術(shù)。我們需要確保每個人都可以參與到這個未來的元宇宙中。?因此，大約在制作 Love Punks 的同時，?我開始想象如何?在我的賽博朋克網(wǎng)絡(luò)漫畫 Nawlz 中擴展這些數(shù)字世界建設(shè)的想法。?現(xiàn)在，我想象了一種未來的數(shù)字文化?，在這種文化中，年輕人腦子里裝著芯片?，讓他們能夠?qū)⑺麄兊乃囆g(shù)和想象力?投射到一個共享的數(shù)字層上，覆蓋他們自己?和他們的城市。?就像，?他們可以穿著他們的虛擬時裝在俱樂部里閑逛。?或者他們可能會在街上被追趕?通過一些瘋狂的數(shù)字觸手，事情變得非常奇怪。?這種數(shù)字文化今天將被描述?為增強現(xiàn)實元宇宙。?現(xiàn)在我們可能還沒有準(zhǔn)備好將芯片放在我們的腦海中，?但幸運的是我們可以在我們的移動設(shè)備上訪問增強現(xiàn)實。

So one day I received a mysterious comment on that web comic.It read:?"We could make some of those things ..."?Very mysterious.?So I clicked on the user profile?and discovered that person was an augmented reality programmer.

所以有一天我收到了一篇關(guān)于那部網(wǎng)絡(luò)漫畫的神秘評論。?上面寫著：?“我們可以制造一些這樣的東西……”?非常神秘。?所以我點擊了用戶資料?，發(fā)現(xiàn)那個人是增強現(xiàn)實程序員。

So I messaged them back immediately:?"Yes" Let's make all the things!!!"?That person, Lukasz Karluk is now my business partner,and we augmented everything.?Augmented reality comics, augmented reality tattoos, stickers.?There's a cute little turtle.Kids could color in their own kites and then fly them immediatelyas augmented reality kites.?I even AI hacked "The New York Times."?That was a little controversial.

所以我立即回復(fù)他們：?“是的，讓我們做所有的東西?。?！”?那個人，Lukasz Karluk 現(xiàn)在是我的商業(yè)伙伴，?我們增強了一切。?增強現(xiàn)實漫畫，增強現(xiàn)實紋身，貼紙。?還有一只可愛的小烏龜.?孩子們可以給自己的風(fēng)箏上色，然后立即將它們?作為增強現(xiàn)實風(fēng)箏放飛。我什至 AI 破解了“紐約時報”。?這有點爭議。

We had a lot of artists reaching out to us,?asking how we were doing it.?So we created tools to allow them to augment their work.?And very quickly, we had a community of artists?covering the world with their augmented art.?It was beautiful.?I felt like my vision was finally starting to make some traction.?But up until now,?all the experiences that I've shared have been standalone.For example, a Love Punk's avatar?kind of like step out of the video game?and then suddenly appear walking down the streetbeside you in augmented reality??Like, that digital bridge doesn't exist yet.?But what if it did?

我們有很多藝術(shù)家聯(lián)系我們，?詢問我們是如何做到的。?因此，我們創(chuàng)建了工具，讓他們能夠增強他們的工作。?很快，我們就有了一個藝術(shù)家社區(qū)，?他們用他們的增強藝術(shù)覆蓋了世界。?它過去挺美。我覺得我的愿景終于開始產(chǎn)生一些牽引力。?但到目前為止，?我分享的所有經(jīng)驗都是獨立的。?例如，Love Punk 的頭像?有點像走出電子游戲?，然后突然出現(xiàn)?在增強現(xiàn)實中走在你身邊的街道上？?就像，那個數(shù)字橋還不存在。?但如果真的發(fā)生了呢？

And this brings me to my third pillar:?decentralization.?So for us to move seamlessly through the metaverse,?we need for our art and our avatars to be decentralized.?We can't be dependent on a single platform.?Sorry, Zuck.

這讓我想到了我的第三個支柱：?權(quán)力下放。?因此，為了讓我們在元宇宙中無縫移動，?我們需要讓我們的藝術(shù)和化身去中心化。?我們不能依賴單一平臺。?對不起，扎克。

I mean, what if that platform were to die??We don't want to lose our art.?So NFTs --?another word that's been flying around a lot lately --?help us to solve this problem.?NFTs are unique, decentralized digital assets,?and they've also come to represent a new economy?that has been widely accepted?as the norm for buying and selling digital art.?So not only can NFTs move from one platform to the next,?but they can be sold and digital artists can get paid.?And that all helps to keep the lights on in the metaverse.

我的意思是，如果那個平臺死了怎么辦？?我們不想失去我們的藝術(shù)。?因此，NFT——?另一個最近流行的詞——?幫助我們解決了這個問題。?NFT 是獨特的、去中心化的數(shù)字資產(chǎn)，?它們也代表了一種新經(jīng)濟?，已被廣泛接受?為買賣數(shù)字藝術(shù)的規(guī)范。?因此，NFT 不僅可以從一個平臺轉(zhuǎn)移到另一個平臺，?而且可以出售，數(shù)字藝術(shù)家可以獲得報酬。?而這一切都有助于保持元節(jié)中的燈火通明。

So lately I've been kicking the wheels of my own metaversecalled the Sutuverse.?Very humble.?And my first project in the Sutuverse is Neonz.?I illustrated hundreds of cyberpunk characteristics?like virtual reality headsets and face tattoos and antennas.?Then we created a tool to combine all these characteristics together?to generate 10,000 unique avatars as NFT artworks.?We then put those NFT artworks up?on the environmentally friendly Tezos blockchain.?Thousands of fellow cyberpunk enthusiasts collected them.?Thank you.?We then connected our augmented reality app to that blockchain?to allow our community to become their Neonz in AR.?And look at us.We're like a cyberpunk Brady Bunch.?And just imagine again, when we have those augmented reality glasses?and we can just see each other down the pub like this,?like, that'll be one hell of a Neonz reunion.?If you're not interested in the theatrics of putting Neonz on your face,?that's cool.?Because you can also put your Neonz floating out there in the physical world.?So there's some Neonz down in the snow,?Neonz down the beach, Neonz floating above an oblivious cat.?And if you're not interested in the Neonz aesthetic, that's fine, too,?because soon you'll be able to put any digital art you've created or collected?floating out there in the physical world.

所以最近我一直在踢我自己的元?宇宙，叫做 Sutuverse。?很謙虛。我在 Sutuverse 的第一個項目是 Neonz。?我展示了數(shù)百種賽博朋克特征?，例如虛擬現(xiàn)實耳機、面部紋身和天線。?然后我們創(chuàng)建了一個工具，將所有這些特征結(jié)合在一起?，生成 10,000 個獨特的頭像作為 NFT 藝術(shù)品。?然后，我們將這些 NFT 藝術(shù)品?放在環(huán)保的 Tezos 區(qū)塊鏈上。?成千上萬的賽博朋克愛好者收集了它們。?謝謝你。?然后，我們將增強現(xiàn)實應(yīng)用程序連接到該區(qū)塊鏈?，讓我們的社區(qū)成為他們在 AR 中的 Neonz。?看看我們。?我們就像一個賽博朋克布雷迪束。?再想象一下，當(dāng)我們有那些增強現(xiàn)實眼鏡時?，我們可以像這樣在酒吧里看到對方，?就像，那將是一個地獄般的 Neonz 重聚。?如果您對將 Neonz 戴在臉上的戲劇效果不感興趣，?那很酷。因為你也可以讓你的 Neonz 漂浮在現(xiàn)實世界中。?所以有一些尼奧茲在雪地里，?尼奧茲在海灘上，尼奧茲漂浮在一只健忘的貓上。?如果你對 Neonz 美學(xué)不感興趣，那也沒關(guān)系，?因為很快你就可以將你創(chuàng)造或收集的任何數(shù)字藝術(shù)?漂浮在現(xiàn)實世界中。

So I feel like?our Love Punks community and our Neonz community?are totally ready for this future.?But how are you folks feeling?

所以我覺得?我們的 Love Punks 社區(qū)和 Neonz 社區(qū)?已經(jīng)為這個未來做好了充分的準(zhǔn)備。?但是你們感覺怎么樣？

Are you ready for this brave new digital world?

你準(zhǔn)備好迎接這個勇敢的新數(shù)字世界了嗎？
