当然，Arduino也用在一些正式的地方，比如大型强子对撞机。

There's some Arduino balls collecting data and sort of measuring some parameters¹.

这里有Arduino的部件，在进行一些数据收集以及参数测量的工作。

Or it's used for... So this is a musical interface² built by a student from Italy, and he's now turning this into a product.

还可以用在这里...这是一个音乐互动媒体，一个意大利学生制作的目前他正准备将它商业化。

这个手套能够识别手语，能将人作出的手势转化成声音，

and writes the words that you're signing on a display.

还可以把字显示在自带的屏幕上。

And again, this is made of all different parts you can find on all the websites that sell Arduino-compatible parts,

同样，这也是靠不同部件组成的，这些部件和Arduino兼容，都能在网上买到，

组合在一起便是成品。

Or this is a project from the ITP part of NYU,

这是一个纽约大学艺术学院互动媒体中心的项目，

where they met with this boy who has a severe disability, cannot play with the PS3,
