Turkish industrial designer Berk Ilhan invented a Smile Mirror to lift up the spirits of cancer patients.
为了使癌症病患振作起来,土耳其工业设计师贝尔克·伊尔汗发明了一款“微笑镜子”。
The mirror won't show a reflection unless you flash it a smile. Just like a conventional mirror, it can hang on the wall or sit on a table.
只有你面露微笑时,这面镜子才会成像。微笑镜子跟普通镜子一样,可以挂在墙上或放在桌上。
The plug-in device looks like a tablet with a built-in camera and an opaque surface made with a smart material triggered by proprietary software. It includes facial recognition technology that captures the face.
这款插入式设备看起来像一个带有内置摄像头的平板电脑,不透明的表面由智能材料制成,通过专用软件触发,还运用了可捕捉面部的面部识别技术。
The Smile Mirror was inspired by Ilhan's conversation with a cancer survivor. Ilhan is currently producing the Smile Mirror in limited quantities. As of now, it costs between $2,000 and $3,000.
微笑镜子的灵感来自于伊尔汗与一位癌症幸存者的交谈。现阶段,伊尔汗正限量生产微笑镜子,目前其售价为2000-3000美元。
But the product will soon launch on crowdfunding platform Kickstarter, where Ilhan hopes to raise enough funds to produce it in larger quantities and bring down the price to under $500.
不过该产品很快将在众筹平台Kickstarter上开展众筹,伊尔汗希望筹到足够的资金进行量产,使镜子的价格降至500美元以下。
Ilhan's goal is to donate Smile Mirrors to hospitals.
伊尔汗的目标是能向一些医院捐赠微笑镜子。
