I’ve been intrigued by this question, of whether we could evolve or develop a sixth sense, a sense that would give us seamless access and easy access to meta-information ,or information that may exist some somewhere that may be relevant to help us make the right decision about whatever it is that we’re coming to across. And some of you may argue “well, don’t today’s cell phones do that already?”But I would say no, when you meet someone here at TED ,and this is the top networking place of course of the year, you don’t shake somebody’s hand and then say “can you hold on for a moment, while I take out my phone and Google you?“ or when you go to the supermarket, and you’re standing there in that huge aisle of different types of toilet papers, you don’t take out your cell phone and open browser and go to a website to try to decide which of these different toilet papers is the most ecologically responsible purchase. So we don’t really have easy access to all this relevant information that can just help us make optimal decisions about what to do next and what actions to take.

I’ve been intrigued by this question, of whether we could evolve or develop a sixth sense, a sense that would give us seamless access and easy access to meta-information ,or information that may exist some somewhere，that may be relevant to help us make the right decision about whatever it is that we’re coming to across.

翻译：有一个问题我感兴趣了很久，就是是否我们能够进化出一种第六感官,这种感官可以让我们快速的便捷的获得元信息，或者是一些在我们需要的时候能够帮助我们做出正确的选择的信息。

本句同位语成分较多。该句主干 I’ve been intrigued by the question, 后面接同位语从句，对question 的内容进行说明; a sense 是前面a sixth sense 的同位语，后接that 定语从句说明sense 的功能。 help us make decisions about whatever ….. 这里whatever 做宾语从句。

演讲原文 Part 2

And so my research group at the Media Lab has been developing a series of inventions to give us access to this information in a sort of easy way without requiring that user changes any of their behavior. And I’m here to unveil our latest fort and most successful fort so far which is still very much a work in process. I’m actually wearing the device right now and we’ve sort of cobbled it together with components that are off the shelf, and that, by the way ,only cost 350 dollars at this point in time. I’m wearing a camera, just a simple webcam，a portable battery-powered projection system with a little mirror. These components communicate to my cell phone in my pocket ,which acts as the communication and computation device. And in the video here ,we see my student Pranav Mistry ,who’s really the genius who’s been implementing and designing this whole system. And we see how this system lets him walk up to any surface and start using his hands to interact with the information. That is projected in front of him. The system tracks the four significant fingers, in this case, he’s wearing simple marker caps that you may recognize. But if you want a more stylish version, you could also paint your nails in different colors . And the camera basically tracks these four fingers and recognizes any gestures that he’s making .So he can just go to , for example , a map of Long Beach, zoom in an out , etc.
