塗抹防曬霜本是一件耗時的麻煩事兒,但是有了機器的幫助,這件事就變得尤爲簡單。美國一家公司發明了一臺名爲SnappyScreen的噴霧設備,用戶可以在觸摸屏上選擇防曬指數和身高。短短10秒鐘防曬霜就噴好。

Applying sunscreen can be a messy and time-consuming pursuit.

塗抹防曬霜常常費事又費時。

But thanks to a cunning device, getting ready for the beach has been made much simpler.

但有了這個巧妙的新發明,去海灘前塗防曬霜就簡單多了。

自動防曬噴霧機10秒噴完全身,再也不怕曬黑了!

SnappyScreen, which was the brainchild of New York-based Kristen McClellan, is a booth with nozzles that spray holidaymakers in just ten seconds from head to toe.

這款自動防曬噴霧機名爲SnappyScreen,由紐約的克里斯汀-麥克萊倫打造。遊客站在這個小亭子裏,僅需10秒鐘全身上下就可以被噴上防曬噴霧。

A YouTube video shows how users use a touch screen to select their height range and which SPF they would like to apply, with 15, 30 and 40 factors on offer.

油管一段視頻顯示,遊客可使用觸摸屏選擇身高,並選用防曬係數爲15、30或40的防曬噴霧。

Once inside the booth, a platform the user stands on revolves so they get a 360-degree exposure to the cream.

遊客所站立的平臺還可以360度旋轉,因此防曬噴霧可覆蓋全身。

The booths come with disposable glasses to protect the eyes.

該設備還爲遊客提供一次性眼鏡,在噴塗防曬霜時可用來保護眼睛。

McClellan came up with the idea for SnappyScreen after she had grown tired of trying to apply sunscreen over her entire body before a day in the sun. She managed to raise $400,000 from investors.

麥克萊倫早已厭煩了在夏日外出前全身塗抹防曬霜,於是想出了SnappyScreen自動防曬噴霧機的創意。她已經拿到了40萬美元的投資(約合272萬元人民幣)。

She took her idea to product design company R&R Associates, which saw great potential in SnappyScreen and designers went about bringing McClellan’s idea to life.

她向R&R聯合產品設計公司介紹了SnappyScreen,這家公司認爲這款產品有巨大的潛力,設計師着手將她的創意變成現實。

It was originally tested at the Atlantis Resort and Hotel in the Bahamas, before being rolled out to other venues.

最初,這款產品在巴哈馬羣島的亞特蘭蒂斯度假村酒店進行了測試,之後向其他場所全面鋪開。

Hotels and resorts that purchase SnappyScreen booths will usually place them by their pools or beach entrances.

購買SnappyScreen產品的酒店和度假村通常會將其安裝在泳池或海灘入口旁。

They issue cards, much like credit-cards, that can be loaded with a certain amount of SnappyScreen credits.

他們給客人發放形似信用卡的卡片,裏面預存了一定數量的產品使用積分。

A person using a booth can swipe their SnappyScreen card before selecting their desired process. They then have seven seconds to step into the booth before the nozzles disperse the sunscreen.

在選擇想使用的噴灑程序前,使用者需要先刷卡。之後他們有7秒鐘的時間站進亭子,噴嘴就開始噴灑防曬噴霧了。

SnappyScreen makes the most of its profits by selling the cartridges of sunscreen that go inside the machine.

SnappyScreen大部分的利潤來自於出售安裝在機器中的防曬噴霧盒。

Hotels buy the machines at cost and then buy the four-gallon sunscreen refills in bundles sold by McClellan’s company.

酒店以成本價購買噴霧機後,還需要購買一些該公司出售的防曬噴霧補充裝,每瓶4加侖。

She previously explained to CNBC that they think of the cartridges as the ‘Keurig cup of sunscreens’.

麥克萊倫之前向美國全國廣播公司財經頻道解釋說,他們認爲防曬噴霧盒是“防曬霜界的綠山咖啡”。

But McClellan is not out to just make money. A portion of SnappyScreen’s profits are donated to programs that educate in the prevention and protection against skin cancer.

但麥克萊倫並不是只關注賺錢。她將這款產品的部分利潤捐贈給了防護皮膚癌的教育項目。

The American Cancer Society estimates that there are 3.5 million cases of non-melanoma skin cancer in the US each year. McClellan believes that SnappyScreen can help to lower that number.

美國癌症協會估計,美國每年有350萬人患上非黑素性皮膚癌。麥克萊倫相信這款產品能幫助減少患病人數
