VOA常速英语:Academics, Students Eye Holographic Lectures

In what’s believed to be a first London’s Imperial College Business School is using holographic technology to present lectures to students.From California Marrowli NaicaGoogle’s product manager was beamed onto a stage like Magic.The head of Imperials EdTech Lab says this presents a window to the world.Through Holograms we can bring in lectures from across the globe and they can appear in front of our students in a realistic manner.That’s the key.
据信，伦敦帝国理工学院商学院(Imperial College Business School)将利用全息技术向学生授课。来自加利福尼亚的谷歌的的产品经理Marrowli Naica像变魔术一样被带到台上。帝国理工实验室的负责人说，这是一个向世界展示的窗口。通过全息图，我们可以带来来自世界各地的讲座，他们可以以一种逼真的方式出现在我们的学生面前。这是关键。

The developer of the technique explains how it works.We’re presenting a 2D image as a 3D image and the iris is flat so we see everything in 2D, our brain changes it to 3D.We’re doing exactly the same trick, we’re presenting a 2D image but with depth of field and a really good vision.My brain just changes it to 3D, attendees say there are many ways this tool can help educators and students.With time differences, for example, Asian students, it’s not so easy to catch up the lectures in the US for example.
该技术的开发人员解释了它的工作原理。我们将二维图像呈现为三维图像。我们的虹膜是平的，所以我们看到的一切都是二维的，我们的大脑把它变成三维的。我们做的是完全相同的把戏，我们呈现的是一个2D图像，但是有景深和更深层的视觉，我的大脑就把图像变成了3D。与会者说，这个工具有很多方法可以帮助教育工作者和学生。以亚洲学生为例，由于时差的原因，要赶上美国的课程并不容易。

The second thing we could do with that is having CEOs coming to the classroom and engage with students and the third way probably is maybe have Albert Einstein coming to the classroom.There might be a long wait for that.Meanwhile masters student Josephine Collin says she prefers the interaction a hologram lecture offers compared to those presented online.
我们可以做的第二件事是让执行总裁们来到教室和学生们交流。第三种方式可能是让阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦来教室。这可能还要等很长时间。与此同时，硕士学生约瑟芬.科林表示，与在线授课相比，她更喜欢全息授课所提供的互动。

I wouldn’t mind it.I think it’s very interesting if we can have access to different lectures and different like guest speakers,things that technology, that’s something I would definitely enjoy. Developers say the cost of holographic technology has dropped considerably since the days it was used mostly in big-budget music shows making it possible for educational institutions to afford it.
我觉得挺好，我认为如果我们能接触到不同的讲座，不同的嘉宾演讲者，这些技术，我肯定会很喜欢。开发人员说，全息技术的成本已经大幅下降，从前它主要用于大预算的音乐节目，但如今使教育机构有可能负担得起。
