現(xiàn)在能用VR虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)生孩子？長得還挺像！
Developed by researchers from Japan’s Kanagawa Institute of Technology collaborating with the Fujitsu Social Science Laboratory, the HTC Vive app places a tracking module onto a doll.
神奈川工科大學(xué)和富士通社會科學(xué)實(shí)驗(yàn)室的研究者聯(lián)合開發(fā)了一款新產(chǎn)品——一個洋娃娃，這個洋娃娃上面用HTC Vive軟件安裝了一個跟蹤模塊。
You hold the doll, and in VR it comes to life in your arms. The effect begins with the face, which is actually generated from a cross between you and your partner’s faces, de-aged to that of a newborn.
在虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)技術(shù)的幫助下，你懷里抱著的洋娃娃仿佛變成了真正的小嬰兒。洋娃娃的臉很逼真，是仿照你和你父母的面部而生成的，隨后又縮減至嬰兒階段的年齡。
Accurate? Probably not! But by including features you know, that otherwise anonymous baby becomes something you might recognize more as an extension of yourself.
準(zhǔn)確嗎？很可能一點(diǎn)也不準(zhǔn)確，但是卻包括了你所知的特點(diǎn)，否則你只會把這個無名寶寶更多地認(rèn)為是自己的附屬產(chǎn)物。
“According to our hypothesis, creating a believable baby resembling the subjects will make them more emotionally invested with the experience,” the researchers write.
研究者寫到：“根據(jù)我們的假設(shè)，創(chuàng)造像實(shí)驗(yàn)主體的寶寶才更能讓實(shí)驗(yàn)主體投入感情?！?/p>
But the immersion isn’t just visual, it’s visceral, too. You hear the baby crying, and it appears to actually vibrate in concert with these cries, as if they’re resonating from the child.
創(chuàng)設(shè)的這種沉浸感不僅停留在視覺層面，還有內(nèi)在感情層面。當(dāng)這個寶寶哭時，同時伴隨著真切的哭時身體振動的感覺，就好像這個娃娃真的在哭一樣。
To soothe the crying, you must learn how to parent. You can sway, offer a hug, feed the child a bottle, or even pat him on the back to help get out a burp. These specifics are still in development.
為了讓哭聲停下來，你就必須學(xué)習(xí)怎樣帶孩子。你可以搖一搖或抱一抱他，給他喂奶，或者拍拍孩子后背讓他打嗝。這些細(xì)節(jié)還在研究中。
“Currently the project is being refined according to feedback received during public exhibitions . . . [the] inclusion of changing diaper being strongly desired due to the importance it played in raising infants,” the team writes. Indeed. I’d add that swaddling and dealing with spit-up would be handy, too.
“根據(jù)公開展示后的反饋，我們目前已經(jīng)對其做出了調(diào)整。換尿布在帶嬰兒階段是非常重要的環(huán)節(jié)，所以大家對增加這個功能的呼聲最高，”該團(tuán)隊寫到。確實(shí)如此。除此之外，很快還會增加包裹嬰兒和解決孩子吐唾沫的功能。
Heck, researchers could even add infant CPR training and save most paranoid parents half a day of classes learning, and then forgetting, all of it.
真是活久見！研究者們竟然還能加入嬰兒心臟復(fù)蘇術(shù)的訓(xùn)練，幫大多數(shù)擔(dān)驚受怕的父母省去上半天課又忘了的麻煩。
