智能眼镜的前景[新素材]
Why Are Smart Phones Getting Boring & What’s Next
Smart phones are getting boring. New models are either a bit faster or have nicer cameras, but they ’re basically no different from the ones already in our pockets. This is why scientists are hoping for and working on something new, something that will change our lives just as greatly as smart phones do.
At the moment, the next invention might be smart glasses.
Just imagine. Instead of having to pick up your phone and look at the screen, all of the information you need simply appears in front of you, in your glasses. Satellite navigation directions (卫星导航方向) would appear right there on the road. And your smart glasses could guide you to the right shelf in the supermarket!
Smart glasses could also be used in industry. They could show engineers the instructions they need to fix things more quickly. A doctor could carry out a difficult operation, guided in real time by someone on the other side of the world.
This may sound impossible. But most of the technologies to invent them are already there. For example, one key technology is called AR, which can make digital 3D objects appear as if they are part of the real world.
We’ve used it a lot in our video calls. Similarly, huge progress has been made in spatial audio (空间音频).This means a sound is made to give it a sense of place, like what you hear in an empty room. Some high-end earphones (高端耳机) can already do that. Future glasses will of course need to recognize your voice to do tasks. This technology has been widely used in our daily life.
So, why aren’t we all wearing smart glasses yet So far, no one has invented a good way to send images of our world onto glasses. However, with the rapid development of the technology, smart glasses could arrive much sooner than we think.

时文阅读—讲好中国故事
庆祝首个“非遗春节”
Celebrating the First “ICH Spring Festival”
“The Most Unique Spring Festival Ever!” This year’s Spring Festival was super special because China held its first-ever “Intangible Cultural Heritage Celebration”! Do you know what cultural heritage means
It’s like our country’s secret treasure box—filled with cool traditions from ancient times, such as paper-cutting, dragon dances, and making yummy festival foods. These traditions help us remember where we came from! In the past, Spring Festival was all about family feasts and red envelopes. But this year, everything felt more creative!
My family made paper lanterns that lit up our living room, and our whole neighborhood put on a magical shadow puppet show (you know, those paper animals that move when lit!). The best part: My 70-year-old grandfather taught me how to write Spring Festival couplets using a special golden brush! It was like time travel with my grandfather! Here’s an awesome fact: Protecting cultural heritage isn’t about staying stuck in the past.
Some artists are mixing old and new by designing cute animal stickers for phones using traditional patterns! Even cool brands are adding cultural elements to their products—like tea shops selling mooncake-flavored lollipops shaped like ancient coins! As we munch on dumplings and watch fireworks, let’s take a moment to think: Why do we still celebrate these traditions after thousands of years
Maybe because they’re like a secret password that connects all Chinese people, no matter where we live. Our culture isn’t something to put in a museum—it’s alive in every red envelope, every dragon dance, and even in our favorite cartoon characters!
