全球首款柔性屏ReFlex手机亮相:让人惊讶!

 　　A new flexible smartphone design could change the way users interact with their devices. ReFlex, developed by researchers at Queen's University, uses 'bend sensors¹' to control app interactions, and simulates physical forces through detailed² vibrations⁴.

　　一款柔性智能机能改变用户与设备的交互方式。由加拿大皇后大学研究人员开发的ReFlex柔性手机就是采用弯曲传感器来控制应用程序，并通过不同的振动级别来模拟物理力度。

　　According to its creators, consumers might be able to get their hands on the bendy smartphone within the next five years.

　　据该手机开发者称，消费者有望在未来五年内接触到这款可弯曲的智能手机。

　　If you hold a book open and bend it in the middle, the pages will begin to turn. A deeper bend will flip⁵ the pages more quickly. ReFlex works on a similar principle, explains Roel Vertegaal, director of the Human Media Lab at Queen's University, where the phone was created.

　　如果你手中拿着一本打开的书，从中间弯曲，页面就开始翻动，弯曲的幅度越大，翻阅的速度就越快。皇后大学人类媒体实验室主管洛尔·维特加尔解释道，ReFlex的运行原理与之相似。

　　The design combines multitouch with bend input⁶, allowing a user to control actions on the phone by bending it. This means that a person can flip through pages on a virtual book just by bending the phone, and it will produce feedback that mimics⁷ the real sensation.

　　该手机设计结合了多点触摸与弯曲输入功能，允许用户通过弯曲手机屏幕实现手机的操作控制。这意味着一个人可以通过弯曲手机来实现虚拟书本翻页，而手机能产生仿真的反馈。

　　'This represents a completely new way of physical interaction with flexible smartphones,' said Vertegaal. 'When this smartphone is bent⁸ down on the right, pages flip through the fingers from right to left, just like they would in a book. More extreme bends speed up the page flips⁹. Users can feel the sensation of the page moving through their fingertips via a detailed vibration³ of the phone. This allows eyes-free navigation, making it easier for users to keep track of where they are in a document.'

　　“这代表了柔性智能手机与物理互动的全新结合方式，”维特加尔说道，“当智能手机从右边向下弯曲时，页面将从右至左从手指间划过，就像我们看书那样，弯曲的幅度越大，翻阅的速度越快。用户可以通过手机振动感受到页面在指尖划过的感觉，这样用户在看文档时就允许眼睛自由游览，看到哪里只需弯曲屏幕翻动即可。”

　　The phone has a high definition 720p LG Display Flexible OLED touchscreen, and uses an Android 4.4 KitKat board mounted on the side. In the back, bend sensors detect the forces applied¹⁰ to the screen, and a voice coil produces tactile¹¹ feedback through vibrations.

　　该款手机采用了720p高清分辨率LG柔性OLED触摸屏，操作系统是安卓4.4，主板被安装在屏幕的两侧。而在手机的背部，弯曲传感器负责监测施加在屏幕上的力度，还有一个音圈能通过振动产生触觉反馈。

　　When a user plays the 'Angry Birds,' game with ReFlex, they bend the screen to stretch the sling¹² shot.

　　当使用者玩儿《愤怒的小鸟》的时候，他们可以通过弯曲屏幕来完成弹射。
