There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away. The first son went in winter, the second in the spring, the third in the summer and the youngest son in the fall.

When they all had gone and returned, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said the tree was ugly and twisted. The second son said no, it was covered with green buds ad full of promise. The third son disagreed, he said it was filled with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful that it was the most graceful things he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them, insisting that it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and satisfaction.

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had seen but one season in the tree’s life. He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by one season. If you give up when it’s winter, you’ll miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, and satisfaction of your fall.

Don’t let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest!

答案

Don’t Make Haste in Judgment

The four sons, having been arranged to visit the pear tree at different seasons came back respectively describing it as disagreeable in winter, promising in spring, graceful in summer and full of life and satisfaction in autumn.

Of course, as the father put it, they were all right but one-sided as none of them had witnessed the growth of the tree all year round. In fact, there are those who jump to a conclusion before taking a full perspective of things. Here is a story: a husband who had returned from a business trip, on arriving home at midnight, heard a snorting sound coming from the bedroom and decided that his wife had betrayed him, left home and requested a divorce from his wife, who felt hurt and begged to be explained why. When the wife told him the snorting was nothing but the Rising Anti-Virus Software in the computer, he was ashamed to death for being so irresponsible as not to give it a second thought.

Therefore never make haste. Only when you learn to judge things in an all-sided manner can you enjoy and be grateful to your life and withstand difficulties or different opinions peacefully.

眼球追踪让你有“特异功能”

①也许你已经看到身边的科技迷有了神奇的“特异功能”:动动眼珠,屏幕就会翻页;眨一下眼,手机就能拍照;开车时犯困眼皮耷拉,马上就会响起语音提示……这可不是因为他们的眼睛被改造了,而是因为他们使用的设备搭载了一项名为“眼球追踪”的技术。

②眼球追踪技术的原理并不复杂:当人的眼睛看向不同方向时,眼部会有细微的变化,这些变化会产生可以提取的特征,计算机可以通过图像捕捉或扫描提取这些特征,从而实时追踪眼睛的变化,预测用户的状态和需求,并进行响应,达到用眼睛控制设备的目的。

③现阶段所采用的主要设备包括红外设备和图像采集设备。在精度方面,红外线投射方式有比较大的优势,大概能在30英寸的屏幕上精确到1厘米以内,辅以眨眼识别、注视识别等技术,已经可以在一定程度上替代鼠标、触摸板,进行一些有限的操作。此外,其他图像采集设备,如电脑或手机上的摄像头,在软件的支持下也可以实现眼球跟踪,但是在准确性、速度和稳定性上各有差异。

④在日常生活中,眼球追踪技术最热门的载体是手机。比如,三星上一代旗舰机GalaxyS3就可以通过检测用户眼睛状态来控制锁屏时间,只要检测到用户正盯着手机屏幕,即使用户没有进行任何操作,屏幕也不会关闭。而GalaxyS4的发布,则将这一功能进一步延伸:可通过眼球来控制页面上下滚动。

⑤有没有什么办法让旧的设备也能实现眼球追踪呢?一家瑞典公司Tobii今年计划推出一款产品,让旧电脑也能接入这项新技术。这款设备名叫Rex,是一个电脑外设设备,只要把它放置在屏幕顶部,再通过USB接口接入,用户就能利用视线来控制电脑完成部分操作,比如操控IE页面滚动、使用Windows8地图应用等。

⑥除了电脑和手机,汽车也很有可能是你最早接触到眼球追踪技术的 地方。通用和丰田都已经在这方面有了不小的投入。它能实时模拟驾驶员的视野,提醒驾驶员视线盲区可能存在的危险;当驾驶员眼皮下垂(犯困)或眨眼次数减少(走神)等,它还会发出声音提醒。澳大利亚一家名叫Seeing Machines的公司,最近也开发了类似产品,只要司机闭眼超过1.6秒,警钟就会响起,座位还会震动。

⑦眼球追踪技术的发展目前还存在不少困难。比如,让机器对人类眼睛动作的真实意图进行有效识别,以判断它是无意识运动还是有意识变化,并不是件容易的事。所以,这项技术在短期内难以成为人类和机器互动的主要方式,但是它对于鼠标、键盘以及触摸等比较成熟的人机交互是一个很好的补充,而且在医疗健康、在线教育、心理研究乃至刑事侦查领域等,都有着广泛的应用前景。
