防止病毒传播剑桥大学研发“非接触式触摸屏”

新冠疫情期间，公共场所的各种触摸屏也成为病毒传播的渠道。英国剑桥大学的研究人员研发了一种“非接触式触摸屏”，利用人工智能技术，预测使用者意图，不必接触屏幕即可完成操作，可以降低通过接触传播病毒的风险。

Cambridge University researchers have developed a ”no-touch touchscreen” that uses artificial intelligence to predict a user’s intention before their hand reaches the display.

英国剑桥大学的研究人员研发了一种“非接触式触摸屏”。这种触摸屏利用人工智能技术，在使用者用手触碰屏幕前，预测其意图。

The screen was originally designed for use in cars, but the engineers who built it claim it could also have widespread applications during a pandemic.

这种屏幕最初是为汽车设计的，但研发屏幕的工程师称，它也可在疫情期间被广泛应用。

The ”predictive touch” technology can be retrofitted to existing displays and could be used to prevent the spread of pathogens on touchscreens at supermarket check-outs, ATMs and ticket terminals at railway stations.

这种“预测性触摸”技术可以加装在现有屏幕上，可以用来防止病原体在超市收银台、自动取款机和火车站售票终端机的触摸屏上传播。

Studies have shown that coronavirus can remain on plastic and glass for anywhere between two hours and a week, meaning touchscreens in public places need to be constantly disinfected to prevent transmission.
