Google Tilt Brush: Impossible now a reality? Google的Tilt Brush：把不可能變現實

(CNN)Artists, put down your brushes. It's time to step into the world of virtual reality.
藝術家們，放下你的筆刷，現在是踏入虛擬實境的時候了！

Google has unveiled Tilt Brush, its new app set to revolutionize the definition of painting and push the boundaries of what it can represent.

Google揭開了Tilt Brush的面紗，它是一款新的app開啟了對畫畫定義的革命，也推進了它代表的意義。


With the swipe of a digital brush users wearing a connected HTC Vive headset can paint life-sized, three dimensional strokes of just about anything -- even drawing with impossible materials such as fire, snow and stars.

使用者穿戴著與HTC Vive連線的頭戴裝置，用力揮動電子筆刷，可以畫出任何東西的實際大小和立體的樣子，甚至是畫出不可能的物質，像是火、雪、星星。




The immersive space is an obvious draw for installation artists, but there are multiple creative avenues for the app.

三維虛擬實境空間顯然非常適合為裝置藝術家所使用，但有很多種創意的方法來使用這款app。


Tilt Brush has the potential to drive change in the fashion industry, as illustrators can paint with textured fabrics such as denim, silk and cotton, as well as leather.

Tilt Brush很有潛力可以改變整個時尚產業，因為繪圖者可以畫出不同質地的布料，像是單寧、蠶絲和棉以及皮革。




Designers can flesh out their creations to scale and step around their work in progress, viewing it from every conceivable angle -- and share it with Tilt Brush users around the globe.

設計師可以賦予他們的創作血肉，可以在製作過程中測量並直接在作品周圍走動，讓設計師們可以從任何可以想像的角度檢視，並且與全球Tilt Brush的使用者們分享。


The app, which is bundled in with the HTC Vive, has already become a plaything for a select group of artists invited by The Google Cultural Institute to trial the technology in Paris earlier this year.

這款與HTC Vive綁在一起的app已經在今年稍早在巴黎讓一批Google文化組織挑選出來的藝術家們受邀試玩，來測試這項技術。




"I had this idea of what I wanted to do, but when I entered the virtual space, at that moment everything changed," says calligrapher Said Dokins.

「我基於我想要完成的作品而產生了這個點子，但是當我進入虛擬的空間後，就在那一刻一切都變了」書法家Said Dokins這麼說。


Faith47 explains that you're leaving the two dimensional world behind and "basically sculpting your drawing."

Faith47這個網站說明你已經離開了2D的世界，而且「基本上你是在雕刻你的作品」。
"What really struck me was the ability that this has for this to be a platform for installations in museum and gallery space," said Cuban-American artist Jorge Rodriguez-Gerada on how the technology could be applied.

「讓我嚇到的功能是這是一個裝置藝術的博物館、美術館空間平台」古巴裔的美國藝術家Jorge Rodriguez-Gerada談著這項科技能夠如能被應用。


Graffiti artist Chu agrees, arguing Tilt Brush "[is] going to revolutionize how people are going to view immersive artworks."

塗鴉藝術家CHU也認同，認為Tilt Brush將會對人們會怎麼看待三維虛擬實境藝術帶來一場革命。
