It’s not virtual.That’s a real world.Dutch artist Smilde managed to create
a small but perfect white cloud in the middle of a room using a fog machine.But it required careful planning—the temperature,humidity(湿度)and lighting all had to

主题语境:人与社会科学与技术
A new Magic Bench designed by Disney Rearch lets you interact (互动) with lovely animated (动画的) character—and no special glass or earphones are required.Instead,the complete environment—the at,the sitter and the cartoon characters—is mirrored on a screen opposite the bench making it possible for others to watch the scene unfold.
How does the illusion work?A camera and nsor catch images and gather depth information about physical objects—the bench and the person.And then a computer translates them into the 3D animations.Meanwhile nsors of touch built into the bench deliver shaking that is happening at the same time and speed to animated actions on the screen,creating the illusion that the animated figures are occupying
real-world space next to the ur.
“Our goal for this project was:hear characters coming,e them enter the space,and feel them sit ne
xt to you,” said Moshe Mahler,principal digital artist at Disney Rearch.Unlike the traditional mobile technology,one of who limitations is that only a single ur can e its illusion,the Magic Bench allows groups of people to gather in a single environment and collectively participate in an augmented-reality (扩充实境) experience,all at the same time.
In a video show,a small cartoon donkey runs into view and kicks the bench,causing sharp sound and making the ated person jump in surpri.Another test shows two people on the bench,reacting as they “feel”an animated rabbit skip up beside them and jump up and down.When a ur pass his hand over the rabbit,a shadow moves across its head,as though it were occupying the same physical space as the person next to it.
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。迪斯尼公司设计出了一种新的“魔法椅”。坐上这种椅子不需要使用特殊眼镜或耳机,在观看影视作品时,画面可以与人互动。
5.WhatdoestheMagicBenchneedtoworkproperly?
公务员报名个人简历怎么写A.Specialglass.

A.The shaking that is happening.
B.The 3D animations on the screen.
C.The figures about physical objects.
D.The interaction with animated figures.
答案D
解析词义猜测题。根据下文 “areoccupyingreal-world spacenexttotheur.”可知摄像机和传感器捕捉图像,收集关于椅子及人的深度信息。然
后
由电脑把它们转换成3D动画。与此同时,内置在椅子里的触摸传感器可以将震动同时同速传送到屏幕上,从而产生动画人物占据用户旁边真实空间的错觉。故可知画线单词意思为“与动画人物的互动;错觉”。故选D项。
7.How’s the Magic Bench different from the traditional technology?
A.Its fantasy can be en only by a single ur.
B.It is designed to create more animated characters.
C.It allows many people to experience the fantasy together.
D.Its ur and the animated character occupy the same space.
答案C

参与互动体验。即MagicBench与传统技术的不同在于它能让许多人一起互动体验。故选C 项。
8.Which is the best title of the text?
A.Magic Bench Puts You in the Picture
B.Audience Become Cartoon Characters
C.Entertainment Industry Enters a New Stage

答案A
