看看来自“未来实验室”(Futures Lab)的真实 AI 原型项目。

What if you could learn Japanese through custom AI-generated stories, or practice sign language with an AI tutor that gives real-time feedback? 如果可以通过定制的 AI 生成故事来学习日语,或者通过能提供实时反馈的 AI 导师来练习手语,会是怎样的体验?

These are working prototypes built by students in the Google-funded Futures Lab, a partnership with the University of Waterloo. Each lab is an eight-week intensive AI and user experience prototyping workshop. Students from diverse fields like computer science, business and natural sciences develop tools designed to reshape how we learn. 这些是由学生在“未来实验室”(Futures Lab)中构建的实用原型。该实验室由谷歌资助,是与滑铁卢大学合作的项目。每个实验室都是为期八周的强化 AI 与用户体验原型设计研讨会。来自计算机科学、商业和自然科学等不同领域的学生在此开发旨在重塑学习方式的工具。

A few highlights from the last two labs include: 过去两期实验室的部分亮点项目包括:

Kanji Garden: An app that teaches Japanese through immersive, AI-generated stories and visuals instead of rote memorization. Kanji Garden:一款通过沉浸式、AI 生成的故事和视觉效果来教授日语的应用程序,而非传统的死记硬背。

SignFluent: A real-time American Sign Language learning tool that provides instant feedback on your form. SignFluent:一款实时美国手语学习工具,可针对你的手势动作提供即时反馈。

MuscleMemory: An on-the-go calisthenics training tool that uses AI camera tracking to provide instant audio feedback on your exercise form, helping prevent injuries. MuscleMemory:一款便携式徒手健身训练工具,利用 AI 摄像头追踪技术,对你的锻炼姿势提供即时语音反馈,从而帮助预防运动损伤。

Led by Dr. Edith Law, the Google Chair in the Future of Work and Learning, this partnership moves beyond theory, helping students co-create the very technology that will define the future of education and work. 在“未来工作与学习”谷歌教席(Google Chair)Edith Law 博士的领导下,这一合作超越了理论层面,帮助学生共同创造那些将定义未来教育与工作的核心技术。

See the projects in action and hear the students’ key insights: The MuscleMemory team learned that non-technical skills such as applied communications skills can be valuable to a product prototyping project. The Kanji Garden team learned to approach challenges with a user-centered mindset. The SignFluent team learned product design at the intersection of accessibility and technology. 观看这些项目的实际演示并聆听学生们的核心见解:MuscleMemory 团队认识到,应用沟通技巧等非技术能力对于产品原型项目同样具有价值。Kanji Garden 团队学会了以“用户为中心”的思维方式来应对挑战。SignFluent 团队则在无障碍设计与技术的交汇点上掌握了产品设计之道。
