Modeling my dream | Kyosuke Yamamoto | TEDxOsaka
-
0:10 - 0:11I have a dream.
-
0:11 - 0:14My dream is working for people
with digital technology. -
0:15 - 0:17The reason is clear.
-
0:17 - 0:20I've been interested
in Computer Graphics Technology -
0:20 - 0:22since I was 4 years old.
-
0:24 - 0:29To model my dream,
I'm piling up the "paper of efforts". -
0:30 - 0:32I wanted to know what will happen
-
0:32 - 0:35if I pile up a "paper of efforts".
-
0:36 - 0:39You might think "paper"
is two-dimensional. -
0:40 - 0:44But, if paper is piled up,
it will have thickness -
0:44 - 0:46and it'll become three-dimensional.
-
0:47 - 0:53Using this idea, I piled up
more than 100 milk cartons -
0:53 - 0:58and built a sailing boat
when I was 11 years old. -
1:00 - 1:05I thought that piling up
something is so interesting. -
1:05 - 1:09This is my first dot of curiosity.
-
1:10 - 1:15Now, I'm researching about
digital technology at school seminar. -
1:16 - 1:20Last summer vacation,
I got to know the OsiriX software. -
1:22 - 1:23By using this software,
-
1:23 - 1:27CT and MRI images can be
easily reconstructed into 3D images. -
1:27 - 1:31And the 3D images can be modeled
by using a 3D printer. -
1:32 - 1:36I was surprised to see this technology
used in the medical field. -
1:38 - 1:43A 3D model is made
by piling up the slice data. -
1:43 - 1:49This idea is the same
as that of building my sailing boat. -
1:49 - 1:52The dots were connected in my life.
-
1:52 - 1:54[Dots were connected - Steve Jobs]
-
1:54 - 1:55(Laughter)
-
1:55 - 1:56(Applause)
-
2:00 - 2:05However, this wonderful technology
is used only in the medical field. -
2:06 - 2:09Maybe you think
it's "Mottainai", wasteful. -
2:09 - 2:10(Laughter)
-
2:10 - 2:12I thought so, too.
-
2:12 - 2:17And I thought that we should use
this technology for education, too. -
2:19 - 2:21At that time in the newspaper,
-
2:21 - 2:26I knew Dr. Maki Sugimoto
who is an expert in digital medicine. -
2:27 - 2:30I thought I must meet him.
-
2:31 - 2:34He looked friendly enough
to share my idea, -
2:35 - 2:38so I sent him an email.
-
2:39 - 2:41Then I went to meet him.
-
2:41 - 2:45I told him my idea; then he said,
-
2:45 - 2:50"I'll make [you] visible
and copy you in a 3D model." -
2:52 - 2:56Later on, my body was modeled.
-
2:56 - 2:58(Laughter)
-
2:58 - 2:59This is it!
-
2:59 - 3:01(Applause)
-
3:05 - 3:06It's amazing.
-
3:06 - 3:10This is 40% of my real body.
-
3:11 - 3:15When I got this model,
I had a big question. -
3:15 - 3:19How should I use this model for people?
-
3:19 - 3:20(Laughter)
-
3:22 - 3:25There are, I think, two answers.
-
3:26 - 3:29The first is to make
my model every year -
3:29 - 3:33and it helps me understand
the process of my growth. -
3:35 - 3:38If I become ill in the future,
-
3:38 - 3:42we can easily find the cause through it.
-
3:43 - 3:47Then it'll contribute
to the prevention of diseases. -
3:48 - 3:52The second is anyone can have
his own skeleton model -
3:52 - 3:56and learn his own body through it.
-
3:57 - 4:03If you're a smoker
and your skeleton’s lungs look black, -
4:03 - 4:05then you'll stop smoking.
-
4:06 - 4:08If metabolic people
-
4:08 - 4:09(Laughter)
-
4:09 - 4:12see their own skeleton models
and find a lot of fat, -
4:13 - 4:16then they'll start a diet.
-
4:18 - 4:23By visualizing their own body,
everyone can change for better. -
4:23 - 4:25Of course you too.
-
4:26 - 4:30Well, do you want to have
your skeleton model? -
4:30 - 4:31(Audience) Yes.
-
4:31 - 4:33Thank you.
-
4:33 - 4:34(Applause)
-
4:34 - 4:35By the way,
-
4:35 - 4:39I found this life model
in my science room. -
4:39 - 4:43You can take out internal organs
one by one from this model, -
4:43 - 4:45and learn about them.
-
4:45 - 4:47But who is he?
-
4:47 - 4:48(Laughter)
-
4:48 - 4:49Do you know?
-
4:49 - 4:51Who knows?
-
4:51 - 4:53Nobody knows!
-
4:53 - 4:56Do you feel life through this?
-
4:56 - 4:57No!
-
4:57 - 5:00He never tells me how life is.
-
5:00 - 5:03But this is me.
-
5:03 - 5:05(Laughter)
-
5:05 - 5:07We can think of life using it.
-
5:08 - 5:11Of course, the Skeleton never talks to me.
-
5:11 - 5:12(Laughter)
-
5:12 - 5:16Well, life is precious,
the skeleton model tells us. -
5:18 - 5:24I hear 30% of the cause of death
among Japanese teens is suicide. -
5:25 - 5:28To reduce this, I want
to show this skeleton model -
5:28 - 5:31to every junior high school boys and girls
-
5:31 - 5:34for the skeleton model gives us a chance
-
5:34 - 5:37to think about the meaning
of life seriously. -
5:38 - 5:43We, the young generation,
must lead the future world. -
5:44 - 5:48And then, I have been doing
many presentations outside of my school. -
5:50 - 5:55I had the chance to tell my idea
up to 2,000 people this year. -
5:55 - 5:58I'm spreading my idea by doing like this.
-
5:59 - 6:02Encounters induce encounters.
-
6:02 - 6:07Today, my idea has been extending
nationally and internationally. -
6:08 - 6:12I would like to connect
with everybody in the world. -
6:13 - 6:17If everyone has his own skeleton model,
-
6:17 - 6:22even if looks is different,
we notice that we all are human. -
6:24 - 6:27Actually, my activity is a little step.
-
6:27 - 6:33But, I hope it will be
a first step towards global peace. -
6:33 - 6:35Thank you very much.
-
6:35 - 6:37(Applause) (Standing ovations)
-
6:38 - 6:39Thank you.
-
6:39 - 6:40(Applause)
