大家还记得商场里会有一些球类体感游戏设备吗？其中有一款微软的Kinect设备红极一时，如今，微软缺宣布不再生产相关设备，究竟是什么情况，让我们看一下相关报道。
Microsoft is finally admitting Kinect is truly dead. After years of debate over whether Kinect is truly dead or not, the software giant has now stopped manufacturing the accessory. Fast Co Design reports that the depth camera and microphone accessory has sold around 35 million units since its debut in November, 2010. Microsoft’s Kinect for Xbox 360 even became the fastest-selling consumer device back in 2011, winning recognition from Guinness World Records at the time.
微软终于承认Kinect真的死了。有关于它的命运已经辩论了多年，微软今天终于确认已经停止制造Kinect设备。 据Fast Co Design报道，Kinect和其配件自2010年11月首次亮相以来已售出约3500万台。微软的Xbox 360 Kinect甚至成为2011年销售最快的消费电子设备，赢得了吉尼斯世界纪录。
In the years since its debut on Xbox 360, a community built up around Microsoft’s Kinect. It was popular among hackers looking to create experiences that tracked body movement and sensed depth. Microsoft even tried to bring Kinect even more mainstream with the Xbox One, but the pricing and features failed to live up to expectations. Microsoft was then forced to unbundle Kinect from Xbox One, and produced an unsightly accessory to attach the Kinect to the Xbox One S. After early promise, Kinect picked up a bad name for itself.
在它在Xbox 360首次亮相的这几年里，社区一直围绕着Kinect建立。黑客们喜欢使用Kinect创造跟踪身体运动和感觉深度的体验。微软甚至试图使Kinect加入到Xbox One当中，但定价和功能未能达到预期。然后，微软被迫从Xbox One中解捆Kinect，并制作了一个不雅观的附件，将Kinect附加到Xbox One S，在此之后，Kinect开始走下坡路。
It’s easy to dismiss Kinect as a failed project, but the reality is that the research and hardware has helped Microsoft progress its products elsewhere. HoloLens uses many of the Kinect technologies for depth-sensing, and many laptops now ship with Windows Hello cameras that use the learnings of Kinect to recognize people’s faces. Microsoft is even using some Kinect technology in its latest Windows Mixed Reality headsets.
认为Kinect是一个失败的产品确实有点过，但是在Kinect方面的研究和硬件已经帮助微软在其他地方推进其产品。 HoloLens使用许多Kinect技术进行深度感测，许多笔记本电脑现在都配有使用Kinect识别人脸技术的Windows Hello摄像头。微软甚至在其最新的Windows混合现实头盔中使用了一些Kinect技术。
Apple now looks like the unlikely company to bring Kinect-like technology into the mainstream. The iPhone X, which goes on sale next week, will include depth-sensing cameras to log an owner into the device. The top notch of Apple’s iPhone X is essentially a miniature Kinect, and Apple has used its acquisition of PrimeSense (makers of the original Kinect) to shrink the hardware down to a phone.
另外，苹果现在看起来正在将Kinect类技术带入主流。下周推出的iPhone X将包括深度感应摄像头，让用户刷脸登陆到设备中。苹果iPhone X采用的这个摄像头本质上是一个微型Kinect，而苹果公司已经收购了PrimeSense（原始Kinect的制造商），将硬件缩减为手机可用的微型设备。
大家有用过Kinect相关设备吗？对于如今微软的做法，你们有什么看法，欢迎跟帖回复。
