旧金山是个很独特的地方
San Francisco is really a unique place, you know.
这里有金门大桥，恶魔岛
You have the Golden Gate, Alcatraz.
街道上还能看到电车
In the streets you have the trams
这和我之前去过的城市都截然不同
It is completely different than any other city that I have ever been to.
旧金山是个充满机遇的城市
San Francisco is really a city that offers opportunities.
在这里你能看到很多初创公司，另一方面
You have a lot of startup companies here. On the other hand
这里也有很多起步于此的大公司
you have the big companies who started here one day
比如谷歌，Nexflix这样的公司
Nexflix：美国最大的在线影片租赁提供商
like Google and Netflix, all those companies.
在硅谷这块土地上发生了太多的事
A lot is happening, even with Silicon Valley.
这简直就是企业家和初创公司的天堂
It is really a city about entrepreneurs and startup companies.
今天我们就要去一家叫Symmetry Labs初创公司
Today we are going to visit a startup company: Symmetry Labs.
现在来接我的是这家公司的创始人Alex
Alex, the founder, is to pick me up and drive me to his office.
我是亚历克斯·格林, Symmetry Labs的创始人
I am Alex Green, the founder of Symmetry Labs.
我们公司做的是交互式、模块化、三维的灯光设备
And we are building interactive, modular, 3D-lighting products.
现在我们在路边停下来去买点饮料
Before we go to the office, we are going to buy a drink.
旧金山一大特色就是街边有很多小摊，有各种小吃
It is funny here in San Francisco you have got a lot foodtrucks and actually a lot of streetfood.
相比于美国其他城市，这里街道的氛围更浓重些
Compared to other cities in America there is more atmosphere here on the streets.
Symmetry Labs给了我看了个概念很新颖的东西
So, Symmetry Labs came with a whole new concept.
一个3D模块化的方块
It is a 3D modular cube.
它是用LED灯做的一个3D的灯光系统
It is made with LED. It is a 3D LED-system.
你可以随心所欲地操控灯光的效果
You have all the freedom to change the lights, how you want it.
你可以在舞台上做出任何你想要的效果
You can do basically everything on that stage as you want.
我们觉得用手势来控制挺好的
这个感应器叫Leap Motion，感兴趣的可以自己去买一个玩玩
I like the idea of controlling things with your movement too.
因为这样的话能更自然顺畅
That is such a more natural way to control it.
这个灯光还可以根据你的声音来变化
But it also reacts to your voice.
看这个碉堡了
Look at this. This is sick.
我能拿这个玩一整天
I could play with this the whole day.
Alex还带我去了他的秘密基地
Alex also took me to the Palace of Fine Arts.
他在那里做了一个更大的装置
He did a bigger construction over there.
我们在那里鼓捣了好久
And actually that is the time where we played around.
我觉得做Alex这样的灯光工程
Doing lights, especially the system Alex developed
和做DJ有很多共同点
has a lot of similarities with being a DJ
你有个控制板，工作原理和碟机差不多
You have a cross-fader. And it actually works exactly the same as mixing two records
你可以提前给你的新歌来编灯光的程序
You can preprogram your lights for the new track or whatever.
你能通过调节旋钮来改变你的程序
And the moment you switch your cross-fader you see the thing you programmed.
就像打碟一样，你总是在准备着将要发生的东西
The same with DJ-ing. You are always one step ahead of what is going to happen.
你不介意的话，我挺乐意能和你一起打碟的
I'd love to play track with you. If you want to jam.
当然不介意，来我们开始吧
Yeah, sure. Let's do it.
Alex做的这些东西简直太赞了
Really, really blown away, with everything that Alex did.
我想我之后肯定会和他密切联系的
So we are definitely going to stay in touch.
这些方块吸引我的地方就在于
But what really got me with these 3-D cubes
它们展现的效果真的是3D的
is that it actually is 3-D.
而且它们能让我专场演出的效果更加出众
And the 'I am Hardwell' show is definitely something next level
如果能把产品再做的更加深入的话
if it comes to every little detail.
所以期待我未来的演出吧
So let's see what we can do with my future shows.
很多演出都会用到LED灯
Well, there is a lot of shows that work with LED-strips.
但多数情况都是用来装饰物体轮廓用的
But mostly to accentuate the outlines of stages or stuff like that.
而不是像我们这样
But not in the way that we did it.
利用到舞台的结构并且和DJ的操控连接起来的
With this roof structure and the connection with the DJ-boot.
而且这样做的实际用处就在于
And that it really has the practical function of
可以让硬好充分地活跃起现场的气氛来
pulling Hardwell into the crowd and the crowd into the DJ-set as well.
我相信未来的演出会变得更大型和出众的
The future for shows is just getting bigger and more crazy, you know.
毫不夸张地说，现在科技就代表了一切
The technique nowadays stands for literally everything.
利用这些LED灯，特别是3D的效果，你可以做到一切
You can do everything with LED, and especially 3-D effects.
我觉得现在我们走出的只是
I think we are just in the beginning era of
未来娱乐和演出发展的一小步
of what entertainment and the stages are going to look like in the future.
Once again: San Francisco, make some noise.
把灯光效果加强再来一遍
...drop, and come in wide agin.
