Reporter： 2013 promises to bring an 1）assortment of brighter， faster and larger gadgets certain to gain a widespread attention. Today technology expert Charlie Brown joins us now. So， tell us about the Watch Finds.

Reporter： Yeah， we thought Shoe Finds before， but now its a Watch Find.

Charlie Brown（Technology expert）：Yeah， well， look， whats interesting is three years ago LG brought out a 3G watch-find； beautiful piece of engineering， but the problem was it cost $2，000 2）outright…

Reporter： Uhm hm.

Charlie： And…and it was a bit 3）chunky on your 4）wrist. Now the one that were talking about these days is smaller and lighter and its gonna be a lot cheaper at a few hundred dollars， so the the…the idea is that because this device improves on those two key areas， in size and in price， its gonna be adopted a lot more heavily by people. Now， again， what were talking about here is…is not just the time but making calls through your watch， but also getting your…your social media updates and things like that instantly. It can…it can pull…it can create its own content but also stream content from devices around you， so it can pull music from your…your mp3…

Reporter： Yeah.

Charlie： Your Smart Phone in your pocket， for example. But the idea is make it cheaper and make it do more stuff， and， potentially， people will buy it. So were looking at something like that coming out in 2013.

Reporter： Its like Dick Tracy. Remember Dick Tracy…

Charlie： Yeah， I do.

Reporter： …used to spend a…

Charlie： I do.

Reporter： If youve got 5）chubby fingers like me， thats gonna be hard. Now what about another innovation？ Its the Google glasses. How do these work？

Charlie： Well this is the idea of 6）augmented reality being built into glasses. So you put them on and then， as youre looking around the room or looking around the suburb， information is fed live into…in…in front of your eye. Now Googles been working on this for a number of years and shown us this technology in a number of…a number of different times. They…theyre 7）directional as well， so theyve got GPS built into them， so as you turn， it knows which way youre standing on the planet， for example. It knows how high you are in your altitude. This…it…it can stream information from your Smart Phone， but it could also have a small android operating system built in. Now， Googles working on this， and look， you know， they make billions in profits a year， but weve also got an Australian company， a…a start-up…

Reporter： Really？

Charlie： …which is actually pulling 8）funding at the moment to do its own version of Google goggles， and， look， its so…and the interesting thing is its not just Google， its other companies who are trying to create this thing， so what were…what were thinking is， because so many people are doing it and this technologys developing so fast， well see something commercially in 2013.

记者： 2013年有望带来各式更智能、更快捷、更大型的电子电器，一定会获得广泛的关注。今天，技术专家查理·布朗正和我们在一起。那么，请跟我们说说手表探测器。

记者：是的，我们有想过鞋型探测器，不过现在是一款手表探测器。

查理·布朗（技术专家）： 好吧，有趣的是3年前LG公司推出了一款3G手表探测器。做工精美，不过问题就是售价高达两千美元。

记者：嗯嗯。

查理：而且戴在手腕上显得有点笨重。现在我们在探讨的这款产品会更加小巧轻便，同时价格也会便宜很多，只需几百美元。因此，我们认为由于这款设备在尺寸和价格这两个重要方面的改进，它将会更加受到人们的青睐。现在，再说明一下，我们在此讨论的这款手表不仅能报时，而且能打电话，还能即时更新你的社交媒体等。它能拉……能创建自己的内容，也可以从你身边的设备中提取内容。所以你可以从你的mp3播放器里拉音乐过去……

记者：是的。

查理：例如，从你口袋里的智能手机中（拉取歌曲）。而且，让它更廉价，更多功能的想法，将会吸引人们去购买。因此，我们很期待有类似这样的一款产品能在2013年面世。

记者：就像狄克·崔西侦探。还记得他……

查理：是的，我记得。

记者：曾花了一……

查理：我记得。

记者：如果你的手指和我的一样胖的话，操作起来就会困难些。现在说说另外一款创新之作——谷歌眼镜。它是怎样操作的？

查理：这个想法就是将增强现实（注：也被称之为混合现实。它通过电脑技术，将虚拟的信息应用到真实世界，真实的环境和虚拟的物体实时地叠加到了同一个画面或空间同时存在。
