大家還記得商場裏會有一些球類體感遊戲設備嗎？其中有一款微軟的Kinect設備紅極一時，如今，微軟缺宣布不再生產相關設備，究竟是什麼情況，讓我們看一下相關報道。
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.
微軟終於承認Kinect真的死了。有關於它的命運已經辯論了多年，微軟今天終於確認已經停止製造Kinect設備。 據Fast Co Design報道，Kinect和其配件自2010年11月首次亮相以來已售出約3500萬台。微軟的Xbox 360 Kinect甚至成為2011年銷售最快的消費電子設備，贏得了吉尼斯世界紀錄。
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首次亮相的這幾年裏，社區一直圍繞著Kinect建立。黑客們喜歡使用Kinect創造跟蹤身體運動和感覺深度的體驗。微軟甚至試圖使Kinect加入到Xbox One當中，但定價和功能未能達到預期。然後，微軟被迫從Xbox One中解捆Kinect，並製作了一個不雅觀的附件，將Kinect附加到Xbox One S，在此之後，Kinect開始走下坡路。
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.
認為Kinect是一個失敗的產品確實有點過，但是在Kinect方麵的研究和硬件已經幫助微軟在其他地方推進其產品。 HoloLens使用許多Kinect技術進行深度感測，許多筆記本電腦現在都配有使用Kinect識別人臉技術的Windows Hello攝像頭。微軟甚至在其最新的Windows混合現實頭盔中使用了一些Kinect技術。
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，蘋果現在看起來正在將Kinect類技術帶入主流。下周推出的iPhone X將包括深度感應攝像頭，讓用戶刷臉登陸到設備中。蘋果iPhone X采用的這個攝像頭本質上是一個微型Kinect，而蘋果公司已經收購了PrimeSense（原始Kinect的製造商），將硬件縮減為手機可用的微型設備。
大家有用過Kinect相關設備嗎？對於如今微軟的做法，你們有什麼看法，歡迎跟帖回複。
