我是一名产品设计师,
00:13
I'm an industrial产业 designer设计师,
0

1332
就是说我能通过我们身边的一些灵感,
00:14
which哪一个 means手段 I create创建 all these cool things
1
3691
2037
00:16
from ideas思路 that we surround环绕 ourselves我们自己
with, or in this case案件,
2
5752
3159
创作一些有意思的东西,
但大多数情况下,灵感
来自于极客的一些想法。
00:19
geeky令人讨厌 people surround环绕 themselves他们自己
with, for the most part部分.
3
8935
2706
我完全没有生物,化学
和工程相关的学术背景,
00:22
I have absolutely绝对 no background背景
in biology生物学, chemistry化学 or engineering工程,
4
11665
4378
00:27
so bear with me, because I'll be talking
about biomedical生物医药 engineering工程 today今天.
5
16067
4187
所以要对我有点儿耐心,因为今天
我将讨论关于生物医学工程的话题。
00:31
(Laughter笑声)

00:32
And please do stay here in the meantime与此同时.

请不要离开现场。
00:36
Industrial产业 design设计 is about
making制造 lots of things identical相同.
8
25507
3971
工业设计是关于制造大量
一模一样的物品。
00:40
The downside缺点 about that is,
there's something impersonal非人的
9
29502
2698
随之而来的影响是,
这些同样的物品
不够人性化,
00:43
about lots of identical相同 things,
10
32224
1540
因为当你尝试为一个
特定的人设计一个产品,
00:44
because when you're trying
to design设计 one thing for one person
11
33788
2953
来解决某个问题的时候,
00:47
to solve解决 one issue问题,
12
36765
1369
实际上你是做不到的,
00:49
you can't really do that
13
38158
1281
因为你的目标是适合
大多数人的模型,
00:50
when you're making制造 things
aimed针对 more to a demographic人口 model模型
14
39463
3062
或者是以市场需求为导向
00:53
or to a marketing营销 requirements要求 document文件,
15
42549
2454
这就是我们的现状。
00:56
which哪一个 is what we live生活 by.
16
45027
1404
这套流程最终使我
失去了对设计的信心,
00:57
So I got disheartened灰心
by the whole整个 process处理 in general一般,
17
46455
3229
01:00
and went to rethink反思 it
and redesign重新设计 designing设计 altogether,
18
49708
3233
我开始重新思考并且重新设计,
回到我最早设计的初衷,
01:03
went way back to my early, early
design设计 inspirations灵感,
19
52965
2858
那是我八岁的时候,我想起了这个人。
01:06
and back to about eight years年份 old,
and that got me to this guy.
20
55847
4266
在座的可能有
来自麻省理工学院的人认识他,
01:11
Anyone任何人 here from MITMIT knows知道 him
21
60870
2335
或者在某个地方有他的纹身或者海报。
01:14
or has a tattoo or poster海报
of him somewhere某处.
22
63229
2032
01:16
(Laughter笑声)
23
65285
1013
(笑声)
在座的其他人,给你们一个提示,
01:17
Anyone任何人 else其他 in the room房间, just for a hint暗示,
24
66322
2225
01:19
he is the engineer工程师 of engineers工程师
or the designer设计师 of designers设计师.
25
68571
3471
他是工程师和设计师的鼻祖。
01:23
He is the guy who made制作 bionics仿生学
a household家庭 word
26
72066
3452
他使得仿生学家喻户晓,
01:26
in the form形成 of the polyester-clad聚酯 - 包层
Six Million百万 Dollar美元 Man
27
75542
3139
在伴随我长大的电视剧《无敌金刚》里面,
01:29
that I grew成长 up with.
28
78705
1746
他总是身着涤纶外衣。
01:32
The thing that came来了 from
this pop流行的 culture文化 show显示,
29
81165
2551
我们从这部流行电视剧里学到的
真正的收获有两个:
01:34
the real真实 takeaway带走, was two main主要 things:
30
83740
2297
假如你正在为一个
鲜活的人设计一个产品,
01:37
if you're designing设计 for the person,
for a real真实 person,
31
86061
3174
01:40
you don't settle解决 for the minimum最低限度
functional实用 requirements要求;
32
89259
3211
你不只是为了满足这个人
最低限度的功能需求;
01:43
you see how far beyond that you can go,
33
92494
1896
而是考虑在你能力范围内
如何做到最好,
01:45
where the rewards奖励 really are
way out in the fringe边缘
34
94414
2439
得到的回报也远比你预想得多,
01:47
of how far past过去 that document文件 you can go.
35
96877
2384
如果你能远超所要求的文件。
01:50
And if you can nail that,
36
99285
1608
如果你彻底解决了这一问题,
你就提高了他们余生每时每刻
01:51
you stand to improve提高
the quality质量 of life for somebody
37
100917
2508
的生活质量。
01:54
for every一切 moment时刻
for the rest休息 of their life.
38
103449
2197
01:56
I kind of distilled蒸馏 that down
into a design设计 philosophy哲学,
39
105670
3729
我把这种设计理念提取出来,
02:00
and infuse注入 that
into the studio工作室 that I have now;
40
109423
3315
融入到我自己的工作室里。
02:03
I'm trying to get everyone大家
to think along沿 these lines线.
41
112762
3004
我正尝试影响每个人都这样思考。
02:06
It's not a profound深刻 philosophy哲学,
but it works作品 for us.
42
115790
4081
它虽然不是一个具有深远意义
的理念,但对我们很有效。
02:12
We work with prosthetic假肢 limbs四肢,
43
121599
1778
我们制作有关假肢的产品,
02:14
and the first thing you see
about prosthetic假肢 limbs四肢
44
123401
2740
当你第一眼看到它们时,
02:17
is that they are engineering工程 brilliance.
45
126165
3192
就会感叹它们背后
技艺高超的工程学原理。
02:20
They can do amazing惊人 things;
46
129381
1415
它们能做令人惊奇的事情;
可以使有各种身体功能障碍的人们
02:21
they can return返回 all kinds
of functionality功能 and performance性能
47
130820
3781
02:25
back to somebody's某人的 life.
48
134625
1253
重新回归正常人的生活。
02:26
But from the vantage华帝
of an industrial产业 designer设计师,
49
135902
2391
但是从一个产品设计师的角度看,
02:29
they're not quite相当 there.
50
138317
1220
它们还不够完美。
02:30
What we don't see is the sculpture雕塑
or the beauty美女 or the individual个人 qualities气质
51
139561
4308
我们看不到它们的刻纹、美观、个性、
02:34
or the uniqueness独特性 or the elegance优雅 to them.
52
143893
2560
以及如何的独特、如何的精致。
02:37
They are brilliant辉煌, mechanical机械,
utilitarian功利 devices设备.
53
146477
4844
它们是出色的、符合机械原理
并且是实用的设备。
02:42
And that's great, except
for a lot of people, that doesn't work.
54
151345
3382
非常不错,但并不是适合每个人。
02:45
People come to our studio工作室 all the time,
55
154751
1995
人们来到我们的工作室,
02:47
and they have bubble泡沫 wrap and duct tape胶带,
56
156770
2932
总是带着气泡垫和胶带,
02:50
trying to approximate近似 their original原版的 form形成.
57
159726
2374
努力恢复原来的外形。
02:53
Or they'll他们会 have a gym健身房 sock袜子
stuffed填充的 with other gym健身房 socks袜子
58
162124
2614
或者往运动袜里填入其他的运动袜,
02:55
to try to recreate重建
the shape形状 that once一旦 was;
59
164762
2507
为了重塑原来的形状;
02:58
and that, to us, is not thriving.
60
167293
2837
对我们而言,这些
并不是我们的目标。
03:01
The body身体, to us,
is not a mechanical机械 entity实体,
61
170154
3337
尽管只有机械假肢
能恢复他们的功能缺陷,
03:04
where mechanical-only机械只 solutions解决方案
can address地址 them.
62
173515
2544
但我们认为,假肢绝
不仅仅是冰冷的金属机械。
03:07
It's our personal个人 sculpture雕塑,
our kinematic运动 sculpture雕塑.
63
176083
3203
它是我们个人的雕塑,运动雕塑,
03:10
It is our canvas帆布;
64
179310
1166
是我们的画布;
它体现的不仅仅是我们的肢体功能,
03:11
it represents代表 not just our physicality肉体,
65
180500
1956
还有我们很多的个性在里面。
03:13
but also a lot of our personality个性 as well.
66
182480
2110
03:15
So when you're designing设计 for the body身体,
67
184614
1931
所以当你设计假肢的时候,
你的设计不是为了工厂的批量生产,
03:17
maybe the thing isn't to design设计
for mass production生产,
68
186569
2479
而是使产品设计更人性化,
03:20
but to design设计 with the body身体 in mind心神,
69
189072
2450
03:22
to really think about curves曲线
instead代替 of hard geometry几何,
70
191546
2579
去真正思考符合人体曲线,
而不是套用生硬的几何外形,
03:25
or uniqueness独特性 instead代替 of identical相同.
71
194149
2909
或者说用独特性去代替统一性。
03:28
The problem问题 is, we're constrained受限
by mass production生产,
72
197082
2785
问题是,我们被一模一样
的百万件产品所束缚了,
03:30
which哪一个 makes品牌 a million百万 identical相同 things
73
199891
1928
我们无法生产一件
独特的、个性化的东西。
03:32
but can't make one unique独特,
individualized个性化 thing.
74
201843
2405
03:35
So we scrapped报废 that
in the new design设计 process处理,
75
204272
2629
所以在新的设计流程里,
我们放弃了这些方法,
03:37
and we start开始 with the person.
76
206925
1694
转而开始私人订制。
03:39
This is a three-dimensional三维 scanner扫描器,
77
208643
2009
这是一个3D扫描仪,
03:41
and that's what happens发生
when you scan扫描 somebody:
78
210676
2220
这就是扫描得到的图像:
你可以把扫描
的3D资料导入你的电脑。
03:43
you get three-dimensional三维 data数据
into your computer电脑.
79
212920
2515
你可以把肢体完好的一边
使用镜像方法翻转,
03:46
You can take the sound-side声音端 limb there,
the surviving幸存 limb, mirror镜子 it over,
80
215459
4582
那么从现在开始,
03:51
and from now on,
81
220065
1167
就可以重建它的对称部分——
03:52
anything in the process处理
will recreate重建 symmetry对称 --
82
221256
2382
可以做得很人性化,但很难做到
03:54
something as personal个人
and as hard to achieve实现
83
223662
2073
03:56
as symmetry对称 in the body身体.
84
225759
1770
像人体的结构一样对称。
03:58
And you create创建 a product产品
that, no matter what,
85
227553
2483
无论如何,你创造了一个这样的产品,
04:01
it's going to be as unique独特
as their fingerprint指纹.
86
230060
2295
它就是像指纹一样具有唯一性。
实际上,我们无法创造
两件一模一样的东西。
04:03
In fact事实, our process处理 is incapable无法
of creating创建 two identical相同 things.
87
232379
3522
04:06
So we run it through通过
computer电脑 modeling造型, 3D CADCAD.
88
235925
3541
所以我们通过计算机建模
以及3D CAD来实现。
04:10
Here, we actually其实 infuse注入 a lot
of the individual's个人 taste味道 and personality个性
89
239490
4949
在产品里,我们尽可能的融入大量的
个人风格和独特性。
04:15
into it, everywhere到处 we can,
90
244463
1628
04:17
and we three-dimensionally三维
print打印 the results结果.
91
246115
2305
然后通过3D技术打印出来。
04:19
We call the resulting造成 parts部分 "fairings整流罩,"
92
248444
1904
我们称这些打印出来
的部件为“整流罩”,
因为它是以摩托车上
的整流罩命名的,
04:21
because they're named命名
after the panels面板 on a motorcycle摩托车
93
250372
2987
04:24
that turn it from a mechanical机械 thing
into a sculptural雕塑 thing.
94
253383
3310
正是整流罩把一件
机械性的物品变为一件雕塑。
04:27
We tried试着 this on Chad乍得.
95
256717
3490
查德试用了我们的产品。
04:31
Chad乍得 is a competitive竞争的 soccer足球 player播放机,
96
260231
2326
他是一名很有实力的足球运动员,
04:33
lost丢失 his leg eight years年份 ago to cancer癌症.
97
262581
1904
8年前因为癌症失去了一条腿。
你可以想象到,用钛金属管
04:35
You can imagine想像,
it's really tricky狡猾 to play soccer足球
98
264509
2452
代替腿踢球真的很难。
04:37
when you have titanium pipe
where there used to be a leg.
99
266985
2946
04:40
The resulting造成 parts部分 recreated重建 his shape形状
100
269955
4031
我们重新制作了他的腿的外形,
使得它像一个美观的运动器具。
04:45
and deliberately故意 had an aesthetic审美
that look like sporting运动的 gear齿轮.
101
274010
3071
我们想让它看上去像是从运动包里
拿出来一件器具一样,
04:48
We wanted it to make it look like
he just pulled it out of the gym健身房 bag,
102
277105
3412
所以它还是非常实用的。
04:51
so it's fairly相当 utilitarian功利 in that regard看待.
103
280541
2367
04:53
Two things happened发生.
104
282932
1180
有两件事发生了:
一是,我们期望他能
找回控制身体的感觉。
04:55
One, we expected预期: his sense
of his body身体 came来了 back to him.
105
284136
4302
04:59
He was suddenly突然 able能够 to control控制
the ball, to feel the ball,
106
288462
2850
他突然就能控球了,而且能感知到球,
因为假肢的形状和8年前失去的
腿的外形一样,而他的身体
05:02
because his body身体 remembered记得
that original原版的 shape形状 that he had had
107
291336
3027
还记得如何控制失去的腿。
05:05
up until直到 eight years年份 ago.
108
294387
1226
另一件是,其他的队友
05:06
The other thing, though虽然,
is that the other members会员 of the team球队
109
295637
3088
不再把他当做残疾人看待。
05:09
stopped停止 thinking思维 of him
as the amputee截肢 on the team球队.
110
298749
2757
05:12
Not that they didn't know, but it stopped停止
becoming变得 a focal point for him.
111
301530
3536
并非人们不知道,而是查德
的假肢不再是一个焦点了。
05:16
And there is a certain某些
very quiet安静 value in that,
112
305090
3205
我们相信,这其中有一种
非常隐秘的价值。
05:19
we like to believe.
113
308319
1490
05:21
James詹姆士 lost丢失 his leg in a motorcycle摩托车 crash紧急.
114
310537
2618
詹姆斯在一次摩托车祸中
失去了一条腿。
05:24
And the motorcycle摩托车 is still a big part部分
of James's詹姆斯 personality个性 and style样式.
115
313179
3707
但是摩托车依然是他生活的一部分。
05:27
Check检查 out the tattoo on his forearm前臂.
116
316910
2837
请看他前臂的纹身。
05:30
We three-dimensionally三维 printed印刷的 that
into what would be his calf小牛.
117
319771
3870
我们用3D打印技术把
这个纹身打印到他的假肢上。
05:34
He has his tattoo, he has his morphology形态学
118
323665
2615
这样他有了他的纹身和完美的外形,
05:37
and he has the materials物料
of his motorcycle摩托车.
119
326304
2314
他的腿还拥有了摩托车的材质。
05:39
And the result结果 is interesting有趣 in that
you can't really tell at first glance一瞥
120
328642
4695
结果很有意思,
第一眼你真的很难分辨出
05:44
where the motorcycle摩托车 stops停止
and where James詹姆士 starts启动.
121
333361
2427
腿是不是摩托车的一部分。
05:46
It's kind of a chimera嵌合体 hybrid混合动力
between之间 the two,
122
335812
3463
它就像二者的混合体,
05:50
and James詹姆士 likes喜欢 that.
123
339299
1966
詹姆斯很是喜欢。
05:52
(Laughter笑声)
124
341289
1394
(笑声)
所以,我们不只是恢复
人类肢体原有的样子。
05:55
So, we don't ever try to make something
look like it could be human人的.
125
344082
4478
05:59
Our whole整个 goal目标 is to be
unapologetically辩解 man-made人造,
126
348584
2890
我们的目标是,
理直气壮的制作人造产品,
06:02
to take what's already已经 there, morphology形态学,
127
351498
2693
去重塑它本来已经存在
的样子,形态,
06:05
and just make it really
cool and beautiful美丽,
128
354215
2088
从而制作出酷炫的东西,
让人们忍不住想向世界去炫耀,
06:07
something that somebody
can't wait to show显示 the world世界,
129
356327
2509
因为这改变了它们的样子。
06:09
because that changes变化 their look.
130
358860
1536
你看见他,不会说:
“他是个有假肢的残疾人。”
06:11
You don't look at him and say,
"He's an amputee截肢 with a prosthetic假肢."
131
360420
3265
你反而会说:“他的假肢简直太酷了。”
06:14
You say, "He's a guy
with something really cool going on.
132
363709
2755
06:17
Deborah黛博拉 wanted her curves曲线 back,
133
366488
1696
黛博拉不仅想要她腿的曲线,
06:19
but she also just wanted
what came来了 out of it to be really sexy性感的,
134
368208
4046
而且还要看上去非常性感,
06:23
which哪一个 is great for us to hear.
135
372278
2370
对我们来说,这个要求太棒了。
06:25
We created创建 this lace花边 pattern模式
that lends借给 itself本身 well to 3D printing印花.
136
374672
4137
我们用3D技术打印了这种蕾丝样式。
06:29
We created创建 the first leg, I think,
137
378833
1935
我们创造出的第一条腿
06:31
where the lace花边 defines定义
the contour轮廓 of the leg,
138
380792
3693
是用蕾丝勾勒出腿的外形的,
06:35
instead代替 of the leg
giving form形成 to the lace花边.
139
384509
2755
而不是腿把外形赋给了蕾丝。
06:38
We switched交换的 things over.
140
387288
1765
我们进行了逆向操作。
06:40
What I like about this shot射击
is you can see daylight阳光 through通过 it.
141
389077
3031
我们喜欢的是光线可以
透过蕾丝的孔照射过来,
所以我们没有试着隐藏什么;
06:43
So we're not trying to hide隐藏 anything;
142
392132
1811
碳结构的承重部分是完全看得见的。
06:44
the load-bearing承重 carbon component零件
is totally完全 visible可见.
143
393967
2519
我们只是给了它外形和轮廓,
06:47
We're just giving it form形成
and shape形状 and contours轮廓
144
396510
3694
06:51
that were hers她的 to begin开始 with.
145
400228
1832
而这些都是她本来就有的。
06:54
We made制作 her another另一个 leg
that matched匹配 her purse钱包,
146
403152
2757
我们又做了她的另一条腿,
是她的钱包样式的,
06:56
just because we could.
147
405933
1276
只是因为我们可以做到。
06:58
(Laughter笑声)
148
407233
1935
(笑声)
07:02
(Applause掌声)
149
411108
2871
(掌声)
07:07
We made制作 another另一个 one
where we laser-tattooed激光纹身 the leather皮革,
150
416022
3338
我们还制作了一个皮质的,
用激光纹上纹身,
07:10
because how cool would it be
151
419384
1397
因为那会很酷,
你可以分分钟变换你的纹身图案。
07:11
to be able能够 to change更改 your tattoos纹身 out
from one minute分钟 to the next下一个?
152
420805
3157
07:14
Love that.
153
423986
1338
很喜欢这种创意。
07:16
We try to capture捕获 as much
of somebody's某人的 personality个性 as we can.
154
425348
2965
我们尽可能多的加入个性化的东西。
这是乔治的假肢。
这个下周就能完成了。
07:19
This is George乔治.
His will be finished next下一个 week.
155
428337
3316
07:23
This is the raw生的 computer电脑 data数据
that we deal合同 with.
156
432137
3238
这是我们刚开始处理
的原始电脑数据。
07:26
He's kind of a classic经典,
timeless-type永恒型 personality个性,
157
435399
3579
他是一个典型的、不受时间影响的人,
07:29
so we did herringbone人字 tweed斜纹软呢,
but in polished nickel.
158
439002
2906
所以我们用光抛光的镍材料
做了一个粗花呢的人字形样式。
07:32
(Laughter笑声)
159
441932
1288
(笑声)
07:34
And Uve乌夫 was all too proud骄傲
to show显示 his tattoos纹身,
160
443244
2420
乌维一直以展示他的纹身而自豪,
07:36
so we are laser-tattooing激光纹身 those
into the leather皮革.
161
445688
3477
所以我们用激光
把纹身纹到皮质材料上。
07:40
Part部分 of it is, yes, we're showing展示 off,
because we can do this,
162
449189
2989
我们展示这个,
一部分是因为我们可以做到,
07:43
but the other part部分 is this connects所连接 him
to what will be a part部分 of him.
163
452202
3421
另一部分是,这连接了他
和他将来身体的一部分。
07:46
That is something really valuable有价值;
we believe in that.
164
455647
2632
我们深信这是非常有价值的。
07:49
Tattoos纹身 are especially特别 exciting扣人心弦 for us.
165
458303
1957
我们对纹身特别感兴趣,
07:51
What happens发生 if you take the tattoo,
166
460284
1797
你选择一个纹身后,
07:53
which哪一个 is a combination组合
of somebody's某人的 personal个人 taste味道 and choice选择,
167
462105
3187
它就代表了个人的品位和选择,
07:56
and their morphology形态学,
168
465316
1586
还有形态,
07:57
but now, let's say, you remove去掉 the person.
169
466926
2403
但我们觉得人的特质被去掉了。
08:00
You get a free-floating自由浮动 tattoo
defining确定 their body身体.
170
469353
3988
你可以在身体上随时变换纹身的图案。
08:04
So everything we do is about recreating再创造
and expressing表达 something
171
473365
4343
所以我们在重新创造,
然后去表达一些东西,
08:08
that means手段 something to that person,
172
477732
1737
对个人有特殊意义的东西,
08:10
and expressing表达 that through通过
what would be their body身体,
173
479493
2546
通过身体来表达,
08:13
whether是否 it's speed速度 or attitude态度 or bling金光闪闪,
174
482063
3881
不管表达的是速度、态度,
亦或是你拥有的闪光点,
08:16
whatever随你 it is that captures捕获
and suggests提示 them in the best最好 way we can.
175
485968
3891
无论是什么,我们都会尽可能
用最好的方式来表达。
08:22
Back to the 3D-printingD 打印 thing
and this whole整个 process处理:
176
491251
2520
现在回到3D打印以及整个过程:
08:24
we have a process处理 that lends借给 itself本身
to making制造 one thing per person;
177
493795
3327
我们有一种方法可以
为每个人都做一样东西;
这是非常个性化的,可以非常复杂。
08:28
it's very individual个人, and it actually其实
really lends借给 itself本身 well to complexity复杂.
178
497146
3812
那么为什么不直接打印整个腿呢?
08:31
So why not just print打印 the entire整个 leg?
179
500982
1949
正是这个概念引出了我们当前的工作。
08:33
That's the concept概念 that preceded之前
the work we're doing now.
180
502955
3892
08:37
This is a three-dimensionally三维 printed印刷的 leg.
It's symmetric对称 to the other leg.
181
506871
4176
这是一条3D打印的腿,
与另一条腿是对称的。
08:42
It is made制作 in America美国,
182
511071
2365
它是美国制造,
08:44
it is a trivially平凡 low-carbon低碳 footprint脚印
to create创建, curbside路边 recyclable可回收,
183
513460
5651
产生的碳足迹非常小,可以路边回收,
08:50
costs成本 about 4,000 dollars美元 to create创建,
184
519135
2761
制作成本是4000美元,
08:52
and it is dishwasher-safe洗碗机安全.
185
521920
2257
可以放在洗碗机里清洗。
08:55
(Laughter笑声)
186
524201
1884
(笑声)
08:57
There's a value to that, too.
187
526109
1482
这一点也很重要。
08:58
People don't think
about that all the time,
188
527615
2055
人们通常不这么想,
但把它丢进洗碗机里洗
的确是没有问题的。
09:00
but yes, throw it in the dishwasher洗碗机,
it works作品 just great.
189
529694
2810
09:03
This was based基于 on the original原版的 idea理念
that I could go anywhere随地 in the world世界
190
532528
3512
我最初的想法就是
可以去世界的任何地方,
只带摄像机和笔记本电脑就可以,
09:07
with nothing more than a camera相机
and a laptop笔记本电脑 computer电脑,
191
536064
2613
用摄像机做3D扫描仪,
几小时之内就可以创建模型,
09:09
use the camera相机 as a 3D scanner扫描器 and create创建
for somebody, in a matter of hours小时,
192
538701
3779
用很低的成本就可以3D打印
一个非常高质量的假肢。
09:13
a very high-quality高质量, three-dimensionally三维
printed印刷的 leg for a very low cost成本.
193
542504
3658
09:17
The proof证明 of concept概念 works作品 great,
we're finding发现 it; we'll get there.
194
546186
3678
这种想法已被证明很有效,
我们发现了它,并且实现了。
09:21
Or, we upped调升 the quality质量 of the materials物料
and created创建 this for John约翰.
195
550699
3833
另外,我们用更好的材料
制造了约翰的腿。
09:25
The fun开玩笑 thing with John's约翰 leg
is that when his fiancee未婚妻 looked看着 at this,
196
554556
4494
有意思的是,约翰的未婚妻
看见他的假肢的时候,
09:30
she joked开玩笑 and said, "I like that leg
better than that leg."
197
559074
3899
开玩笑的说:“比起你另一条腿,
我更喜欢这个假肢。”
09:33
(Laughter笑声)
198
562997
1673
(笑声)
09:35
And it's a joke玩笑 -- she knows知道 full充分 well
what he goes through通过 --
199
564694
3321
虽然是个玩笑,但她知道他经历了什么,
09:39
but at the same相同 time,
there's something very valuable有价值.
200
568039
2608
同时,更有意义的是,
他对我们说:“没有人那样说过。”
09:41
He turned转身 to us and said,
"Nobody没有人 says that."
201
570671
2207
在他生命中,他从来
没听过那样的话语。
09:43
He's never heard听说 that in his life.
202
572902
1668
这深深的触动着他。
09:45
That connected连接的 with him very deeply.
203
574594
2683
09:48
So we like to think
that this is a new type类型 of design设计,
204
577301
3294
我们认为这是一种新型的设计,
09:51
where you're turning车削
the original原版的 process处理 on its head,
205
580619
4186
它完全颠覆了最初的设计流程,
09:55
where there is a dialogue对话 that forms形式
between之间 the designer设计师 and the end结束 user用户,
206
584829
3544
在设计者和终端用户之间引入了交流,
09:59
where the designer设计师 relinquishes放弃
some of the control控制 --
207
588397
2591
设计者让出一些控制权——
他们通常讨厌这样做——
10:02
designers设计师 hate讨厌 doing that --
208
591012
1340
取而代之的是成为了一名监管者。
10:03
and instead代替, is the curator馆长 of a process处理.
209
592376
3373
而终端用户负责交出
他们的身体和个人品味。
10:06
And the end结束 user用户 relinquishes放弃 their body身体
into the process处理, and their taste味道.
210
595773
4273
认为这反映了设计世界正在发生
10:11
I'd like to think that speaks说话
to a greater更大 change更改 that's happening事件
211
600070
3284
的更大的变化。
10:14
in the design设计 world世界 altogether;
212
603378
1560
10:15
in this case案件, it's one where
products制品 will be evaluated评估
213
604962
3627
在这种情况下,产品的评估将取决于
它们是否很好的满足个人需求。
10:19
on how well they address地址 the individual个人.
214
608613
2760
10:23
The individual个人 will actually其实 be
part部分 of the DNA脱氧核糖核酸 of the end结束 product产品 itself本身.
215
612264
5022
实际上,个人也将是
终端产品DNA的一部分,
10:28
We will be evaluating评估 products制品
on how well they address地址 a unique独特 person,
216
617310
4372
我们将评估产品是否满足了个人需求,
10:32
instead代替 of a demographic人口 model模型.
217
621706
1873
而不仅仅是一个适合大多数人的模型。
10:35
This all really hit击中 home for us
in one of the first legs we did;
218
624316
3801
我们做第一个假肢的时候
就跟我们预想的一样;
10:39
when Chad乍得 here put on the leg,
219
628141
2717
当查德安上他的假肢,
10:41
reached到达 down and felt it
220
630882
1660
把腿落到地面,感受它的时候,
10:43
and thought about it for a while.
221
632566
1591
他想了一会儿。
10:45
Then he turned转身 to us and said,
222
634181
1581
然后转向我们说,
10:46
"That's the first time I've felt
that shape形状 in eight years年份."
223
635786
3453
“这是我8年来
第一次感觉到腿的样子。”
我们认真思考了他说的话,
10:50
We thought about that.
224
639783
1416
10:52
And for all the technology技术
225
641223
1262
觉得我们应用的所有技术,
10:53
and all the nights
and energy能源 we put into it,
226
642509
2670
付出的所有日日夜夜的努力都值了。
10:56
that's all we really wanted to hear.
227
645203
1962
那就是我们真正想要听到的。
10:58
Thanks谢谢.
228
647769
1192
谢谢。
