英特爾推出Alloy項目 正式進軍虛擬現實
Intel has unveiled its newest virtual reality headset called "Project Alloy." Through this gadget, the company introduces the concept of "merged reality."
近日，英特爾公司推出了其名爲"Alloy項目"的最新虛擬現實頭戴設備。通過這一裝置，英特爾公司介紹了一個新詞："融合現實"。The biannual Intel Developer's Forum began with a virtual display of music. A drummer does not need actual drums and a musician can play a virtual piano and cello at the same time.
每年舉辦兩次的英特爾開發者論壇，這次以虛擬音樂演出拉開了帷幕。這其中包含一位並不需要真實存在的鼓的鼓手，以及可以在同一時間演奏虛擬鋼琴和大提琴的音樂家。
But Intel unveiled something that blends the lines of reality even further: Project Alloy. It is called Merged Reality and it eliminates the need for handheld controllers. Instead, you use your real hands in the virtual world. Alloy warns you if you are going to bump into real people or objects.
不過，英特爾的最新"Alloy項目"卻是進一步融入了現實元素。它被稱作"融合現實"，無需依賴任何手持控制器。在虛擬世界中，只需要動一動你的雙手，碰到真實的人或物體，Alloy便會發出警告信號。
"Not only move around freely in the virtual world. But he was able to bring the real world into that virtual world where he used his hand to interact. We can do that with almost any object. And we can flip that. We can take the virtual world into the real world," Intel CEO Brian Krzanich said.
英特爾首席執行官布萊恩·科茲安尼克表示："我們不僅可以在虛擬世界中自由移動，還能把現實的物體帶入虛擬世界，僅需自己動手便可實現。我們可以操縱任何物體，同時，我們也能把虛擬世界帶入現實世界。"Intel says Project Alloy will be available to its partners in the second half of 2017.
英特爾方面表示，將於2017年下半年爲其合作伙伴提供Alloy項目。So it is not going to be in the hands of consumers until at least 2018 or later. No word on what it will cost.
因此消費者至少在2018年以後纔可獲得它。至於價格，英特爾並沒有透露。
