iPad3概念设计是否雾里看花?

From the makers behind the viral iPhone 5 concept that envisioned the device with a stunning laser keyboard comes a breathtaking new vision for the iPad 3, with an edge-to-edge retina display and 3D multiplayer hologram for gaming.

曾经在网上疯狂传播的iPhone 5概念设计视频，为未来的iPhone引入了迷人的激光键盘，该视频背后的设计师今天再次推出惊人之作-全新功能的iPad 3概念设计，它为未来的iPad配置了“边到边”视网膜显示器和应用于多人游戏的三维全息图像。

Now, this is exactly what not to expect to be unveiled at Apple's iPad press event next week. A flurry of feature speculations have taken the web by storm following the news that the company will launch a product on March 7 in San Francisco, but this clever video from Aatma Studio — whose iPhone 5 Concept Features video raked in nearly 50 million views on YouTube — takes it a step further and opens up a world of possibilities for the future of tablets.

现在我们并不会期望这个设计会在苹果下周的iPad发布会上出现。苹果将于3月7日在三藩市推出iPad新版本的资讯公布后，网上热烈讨论传说中的iPad 3新功能，Aatma工作室更为进取，为平板电脑未来的可能性开辟了新思路，它过去创作的“iPhone 5概念功能”这个创意视频在YouTube上的点击率高达5000万次。

For example, it toys with the option of a 2560 x 1140 resolution edge-to-edge retina display, which gives the allusion of a larger visual screen area. In the video, the entire screen serves as the home button.

例如，该设计虚构出分辨率达2560x1140的“边到边”视网膜显示器，可以形成更大视域的屏幕。在视频中，整个屏幕如同家居中的按键。

Although this notion is already possible with today's tech advancements, it doesn't seem likely for the next-generation iPad, especially since the event invitation features an image of a touchscreen device with a frame.

尽管这样的构想在技术上可行，但它不大可能成为下一代iPad的功能，而且在苹果向媒体发出的产品发布邀请函上可以肯定新版iPad仍然带有个框框。

However, Aatma plays up the possibility in the video. It takes one iPad and places it next to another and the first takes over the screen of the second — similar to having two screens for a desktop computer.

Aatma工作室在视频中玩了点新意，将一个iPad放在另一个iPad旁边，两个iPad的画面拼合在一起，就象一部台式电脑的两个屏幕。

"Although the tablet form factor is great, we felt the need for a larger visual real estate," Pramod Modi Shantharam, the CEO and animation director at Aatma, told Mashable. "We eliminated the black border of current iPad and thought it would be a great visual experience for users who bring their iPads together utilizing their internal magnets."

“尽管平板电脑的尺寸和外型相当不错，但我们希望有更大可视范围的设备出现。”Aatma的CEO、动画总监Pramod Modi Shantharam说：“我们去除iPad的黑色边框，对于将多台iPad放在一起实现内部连网的玩家来说，这是一个不错的视觉体验。”

This would allow users to stream videos or watch a movie on two iPad screens at once. The studio used internal magnets with near field communications (NFC) technology to make it happen.

它允许用户同时在两个iPad屏幕上播放视频或观看电影。该工作室利用基于近场通信技术（NFC）的内部连网方式来实现这个功能。

"Consider a scenario where a family of four brings their individual iPads together at an airport while waiting for their flight with a master iPad controlling all screens," Shantharam added. "This could facilitate new original forms of media content in the future."

Shantharam说：“想像一下这样的情景，一家四口在机场等候时，将四部独立的iPad放在一起，然后由其中一部控制所有屏幕。这种技术可以促进新媒体形式的诞生。”

But perhaps the most innovative feature in the video is a 3D multiplayer hologram for gaming. Game controllers project out onto the surface of the table, while two players play a football game with the help of the two combined iPads.

视频中最具创意的功能可能是为游戏设计的可多人操作的3D全息图。利用投影在桌面上的游戏控制器，两名玩家可以通过两部相连的iPad玩足球游戏。

"The 3D holographic display was a popular feature in our iPhone 5 concept video and we wanted to extend that to the iPad," Shantharam said. "Users could experience a three-dimensional floating holographic screen with combined iPads, making it an exciting use case for multiplayer games."

Shantharam还说：“在“iPhone 5概念功能”视频中，3D全息图显示器是个热点，我们希望将这个功能延伸到iPad上。用户可以通过相连的多台iPad体验三维悬浮全息屏幕，它将成为多人游戏中的亮点。”
