(CNN) -- If buttons are a thing of the past and touch screens are the present, what are the screens of the future?
假如按鈕是過去式，觸控面板是現在式，那麼將來的螢幕是什麼。
It's not a riddle, but it is a trick question: if the projections of companies like Displair are true then the screens of the future won't be screens at all but interactive images floating in mid-air.
這不是個謎，而是個有趣的問題。假如Displair公司的計畫是真的，那麼在空氣中操控影像，便能取代所有的實體螢幕。
According to Russian designer Max Kamanin, creator of Displair.
依照俄國設計師Max Kamanin，Displair公司創辦人的概念。
In thin air 在稀薄的空氣中
Hight-tech displays made from mist and air are "the next step in visual technology".
高科技的空中螢幕，將是下一世代的眼界。
Not to be mist 不要太多的霧
The image is created inside a layer of "dry fog which is composed of ultra-fine water droplets."
影像是顯現在乾霧中的小水滴裡。
Truly touching 觸控
3-dimensional projections are created using infrared sensors.
3-D投放是用紅外線偵測。
Holographic effect 書寫效果
The screen responds "intuitively" to hand movements -- 1500 of them -- many of which are similar to those used on our mobile devices, such as pinch-and-zoom.
螢幕能知覺手動的效果，就像使用觸控工具一樣能縮放自如。
Future projection 將來計劃
The screen's inventors think that Displair screens could be used in medicine, and offer a more hygienic alternative to touch-screens.
發明者認為此螢幕可使用於藥物，以及衛生上的多重選擇。
Makes scents 製造氣味
In the future the team hope to explore scent, to offer users a multi-sensory experience.
發明團隊希望能增添氣味，以滿足使用者的多重感官享受。
