玩口袋精靈得了“妄想癥”？

據(jù)說(shuō)，最近在澳大利亞、新西蘭等國(guó)，好多人大半夜不睡覺(jué)，拿著手機(jī)在外面抓精靈。他們不但自己玩的熱火朝天，只要看到旁邊有人拿著手機(jī)在看，就以為人家也是在玩Pokémon Go。簡(jiǎn)直是“妄想癥”附身啊!

Pokémon paranoia refers to the suspicion that anyone on their phone outdoors is playing Pokémon Go, the augmented reality game that became a hit on the internet since its release in Australia, New Zealand, the United States, most of Europe, and Canada on a staggered schedule starting on July 6, 2016.

“口袋精靈妄想癥”指懷疑在戶(hù)外看手機(jī)的人都在玩口袋精靈游戲的妄想狀態(tài)。這個(gè)游戲是一款增強(qiáng)現(xiàn)實(shí)游戲，自7月6日在澳大利亞、新西蘭、美國(guó)、歐洲大部以及加拿大上線以來(lái)在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上引發(fā)熱潮。

患有口袋精靈妄想癥的人看誰(shuí)都像游戲玩家：

"Hey, you playing Pokémon?"

"Not me..."

嘿，你在玩口袋精靈嗎?

沒(méi)啊......

Pokémon 就是口袋精靈(pocket monster)，那款90年代很火的游戲，還有大家童年里的動(dòng)畫(huà)片，萌萌噠皮卡丘，pika~

Pokémon Go是在此基礎(chǔ)上新出的一款增強(qiáng)現(xiàn)實(shí)游戲(augmented reality game, AR game)。

也許你要問(wèn)，增強(qiáng)現(xiàn)實(shí)(AR)和虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)(VR)有什么區(qū)別。簡(jiǎn)單來(lái)說(shuō)，虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)(Virtual Reality, VR)是把虛擬的事物變得越真實(shí)越好，而增強(qiáng)現(xiàn)實(shí)(Augmented Reality, AR)則是讓虛擬與現(xiàn)實(shí)相結(jié)合，越分不清楚越好。

具體是這樣玩的……

The apps uses GPS. As you wander through the real world, it will show you an animated version of Google maps. You'll be able to see roads, buildings, Gyms, and Pokéstops.

游戲使用GPS定位，你在現(xiàn)實(shí)世界走動(dòng)時(shí)，app會(huì)展現(xiàn)一個(gè)動(dòng)畫(huà)版的谷歌地圖，你可以看到街道、建筑、健身館和Pokéstops商店。

You can keep your phone at your side while you walk, and when you are near a Pokémon, you'll get a notification in the form of a vibration.

如果附近有寵物小精靈，手機(jī)會(huì)震動(dòng)提示你。

It then launches an augmented reality experience with the Pokémon dancing around in realtime.

然后游戲就開(kāi)啟增強(qiáng)現(xiàn)實(shí)功能，你可以看到小精靈們?cè)诂F(xiàn)實(shí)場(chǎng)景中蹦跶。

Then, you'll throw a Poké Ball at the Pokémon, by swiping towards it.

然后，你通過(guò)滑動(dòng)屏幕上的Poké Ball來(lái)打中它。

如果打中了，就抓住一只精靈啦，Gotcha!

It also takes into account your location when generating the type of Pokémon you capture.

很萌的是，它還會(huì)根據(jù)你所在的地點(diǎn)生成相關(guān)屬性的小精靈。

比如水系小精靈就多出現(xiàn)在水邊。

游戲的宣傳口號(hào)是：

Gotta Catch 'em All!

全部都要抓住!
