Philip Houska I-CES yalo nyaka e-Las Vegas, i-Nevada ilethe imikhiqizo eminingi emisha, kodwa yabonisa umhlaba ukuthi iqiniso elibonakalayo kancane kancane lingena ngaphansi kwesikhumba sabantu abavamile, ababengakaze babhalise lesi sici esiyinhloko ukuze bajulise okuhlangenwe nakho okubukwayo. Kanye nabathuthukisi begeyimu nezinkampani zehadiwe, lobu buchwepheshe bungashiya uphawu olubonakalayo.
Ngakho-ke kuyamangaza ngandlela thize ukuthi enye yezinkampani ezinkulu, ejwayele ukusetha izitayela ibheke imakethe yezinto ezingokoqobo. Sikhuluma nge-Apple, okwesikhathi esensimini yeqiniso elibonakalayo yenza amacebo amancane kakhulu wokuthi kunokuthile okuhleliwe...
"Iqiniso elingokoqobo lifana nomlandeli wegeyimu ye-PC," kwembula umsunguli womkhiqizi owaziwayo emhlabeni wonke wamalaptop emidlalo u-Alienware Frank Azor esitatimendeni esihlanganyelwe noPalmer Luckey, umsunguli we-Oculus, ongomunye wabadlali ababaluleke kakhulu inkambu ye-VR kuze kube manje.
Bobabili abanumzane banezizathu zabo zesitatimende esinjalo, ngokuqinisekile basekelwa umkhuba. Ngokuka-Azor, imidlalo exhunywe kunto engekho ngokoqobo imelela umfutho wokuthengisa ofanayo owaboniswa imidlalo ye-PC eminyakeni engamashumi amabili edlule. "Yonke into esiyidalayo izothuthukiswa kucatshangwa ngeqiniso langempela," kwembula u-Azor, okuthi, ngaphezu kwe-Alienware, aphinde ahole isigaba sikaDell's XPS.
Uguquko lwemidlalo olwenzeka maphakathi nawo-nineties wekhulu leminyaka elidlule lwayidlula ngokuphelele inkampani ebaluleke kakhulu njengamanje emhlabeni - i-Apple. Kusukela lapho, inkampani ibilokhu ithuthukisa kancane kancane futhi yakha igama layo elihlonishwayo, phakathi kwezinye izinto, futhi emkhakheni wemboni yemidlalo futhi ikakhulukazi endaweni yesikhulumi se-iOS, esihlangabezana nezikhathi eziyimpumelelo emkhakheni wezokudlala. Naphezu kwaleli qiniso, nokho, alikho ekhasini elifanayo nabathuthukisi abanikeze imidlalo edumile emhlabeni wonke, inkolo nemidlalo edumile kuwo womabili ama-PC kanye nama-consoles wegeyimu. Ngaphezu kwakho konke, ukwethembeka, iMac ayanele kubadlali abanothando, ikakhulukazi ngesizathu esishiwo ngenhla, okungukuthi "ukulala" kwe-boom yegeyimu.
Umbuzo manje ulenga emoyeni wokuthi kuzothatha isikhathi esingakanani ukuthi i-Apple ifake imikhiqizo esekela iqiniso elibonakalayo kuphothifoliyo yayo. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi okokuzithokozisa kwegeyimu noma ukulingisa okuhlukahlukene kokuhamba nokudala, okungokoqobo okungokoqobo cishe kuyisinyathelo esilandelayo emhlabeni wezobuchwepheshe, futhi ngeke kube kuhle ukuthi i-Apple ilale njengoba yenza embonini yemidlalo.
Akungabazeki ngokuhola okubalulekile kweCalifornian Oculus, eyaduma kulo mkhakha ikakhulukazi ngenxa yeqembu lokuthuthukisa izinkanyezi elaliholwa uPalmer Luckey oseke washiwo kanye nomqambi uJohn Carmack, owasiza umdlalo odumile we-3D Doom kusukela ngo-1993 ukuba nodumo. . Ihedisethi yakhe ye-Rift iba umhlahlandlela onjalo uma kukhulunywa ngokuxoxa ngamaqiniso abonakalayo. Nokho, amanye amagama nawo azama ukuzigqaja kule mpi.
I-Google ingena emakethe nge-Jump ecosystem yayo, okuhloswe ngayo ukusiza abenzi bamafilimu ikakhulukazi futhi ikuvumela ukuthi uthwebule amavidiyo ku-inthanethi angu-360-degree. I-Microsoft iqala kancane ukusabalalisa amakhithi kanjiniyela ngokulindelekile i-headphone ye-HoloLens. I-Valve ne-HTC batshala imali ekukhiqizweni kwe-HTC Vive, okulindeleke ukuthi ibe yimbangi eqondile ku-Oculus Rift. Okokugcina, u-Sony naye uphokophele phambili ngesigaba sakhe se-PlayStation, okusho ukuthi lesi sikhondlakhondla saseJapan sizogxila kokuhlangenwe nakho kwegeyimu okuhle kakhulu. Phela, ngisho nabakwaNokia bahamba emkhakheni wamaqiniso abonakalayo. Futhi ngakho-ke i-Apple ngokunengqondo ayikho kulolu hlu.
Ngayinye yalezi zinkampani kuzodingeka isebenze kanzima ukwenza umkhiqizo wabo ube ngcono kakhulu. Akubona kuphela abathuthukisi bezinkampani zangaphandle abadingekayo, kodwa futhi inhlanganisela ye-hardware yekhwalithi nesofthiwe.
Njengoba kuvamile ku-Apple, ibilokhu ingena emakethe kuphela ngemikhiqizo "evuthiwe", eyinkimbinkimbi futhi ephucuziwe. Kwakungabalulekile ukuthi abe ngowokuqala, kodwa ngaphezu kwakho konke ukwenza kuya ngendlela efanele. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, ngonyaka odlule wabonisa ngomkhiqizo ongaphezu kowodwa ukuthi le mantra yakudala ayisasebenzi kangako. Kungenzeka ukuthi yonke into ibicwebezela phezulu, kodwa ikakhulukazi ngaphambili kwesoftware, bekungenayo inkinga nezimbungulu ezidinga ukulungiswa ngo-2016.
Ngakho-ke, abaningi baqagela ukuthi ngabe i-Apple kufanele iqhamuke nombono wayo we-VR ngokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka, noma kungenzeka ukuthi umkhiqizo awukalungeli ngokuphelele. Isibonelo, iMicrosoft yenza okufanayo nge-HoloLens. Ubonise umbono wakhe ngonyaka odlule ngenkathi eqhubeka nokuwuthuthukisa, futhi kulo nyaka kuphela esingalindela ukusetshenziswa kokuqala okubucayi, kwangempela njengoba ama-earphone efinyelela kubathuthukisi.
Lolu hlobo lwento aluvamisile ukuba yisitayela sika-Apple, kodwa ochwepheshe bakholelwa ukuthi uma ingena kamuva emhlabeni we-VR, izinto ezimbi kakhulu zizoba ngayo. Njengoba kushiwo ngenhla, abadlali abakhulu balwela isabelo sabo semakethe yento engekho ngokoqobo, futhi kuzobaluleka ukuthi iyiphi inkundla enikeza izimo ezikhangayo nezithakazelisa kakhulu konjiniyela. Kuze kube i-Apple yethula inkundla yayo, ayiwuthandi umphakathi wonjiniyela.
Kukhona esinye isimo nokho, esokuthi i-Apple ibingeke nhlobo ibambe iqhaza eqinisweni langempela futhi, njengobuchwepheshe obuningana namathrendi ngaphambili, ingakunaki ngokuphelele, kodwa uma kubhekwa ukuthi imboni ye-VR kulindeleke ukuthi ibe yisisekelo futhi ibe mkhulu kangakanani (ngokusho kwenkampani. I-Tractica kulindeleke ukuthi ithengise amahedisethi e-VR ayizigidi ezingama-2020 ngo-200), akunakwenzeka kangako. Phela, nokuthengwa kwezinkampani Ukuguqulwa kobuso noma I-Metaio baphakamisa ukuthi i-Apple idlala ngokoqobo, nakuba lokhu kutholwa kuwukuphela kwenkomba kuze kube manje.
Okungokoqobo okubonakalayo kude kakhulu mayelana nokudlala. U-Apple angase abe nentshisekelo, ngokwesibonelo, ekulingiseni komhlaba wangempela, kungaba uhambo noma okunye ukusetshenziswa okungokoqobo. Ekugcineni, kungaba yinzuzo ukuthi onjiniyela bayo bafunde imikhiqizo encintisanayo isikhathi eside, ngoba uma bengakwenzi isikhathi eside, i-Apple ingagcina iqhamuke nomkhiqizo wayo we-VR ophucuziwe, ozowusebenzisa ngokuyisisekelo. khuluma nomdlalo.
U-2016 ngokungangabazeki unyaka lapho ukuthokozelwa kweqiniso elibonakalayo kungathathwa kufinyelele ezingeni elihluke ngokuphelele. Izinkampani ezifana ne-Oculus, Google, Microsoft, HTC, Valve, ne-Sony ziphusha ubuchwepheshe. Ukuthi i-Apple izophinde ihlole leli kona yini akwaziwa, kodwa uma ifuna ukuhlala ezingeni lobuchwepheshe, akufanele iphuthelwe yi-VR.
Hhayi-ke, angazi, angazi, izixazululo zamanje ze-VR zisencane kakhulu futhi kuze kube manje akuyona into enganikeza umkhiqizo wekhasimende lokugcina, noma ngokwenani, ukwenziwa kanye nokusetshenziswa. . Lokho kanye namathoyizi afana nezibuko, okwakukhulunywa ngakho kakhulu nokuthi aphelelaphi.
Ngaphandle kwalokho, angazi ukuthi umlobi ubesho ukuthini ngokuthi ngo-2015 i-Apple inikeze imikhiqizo emibi ngokwe-HW - i-Apple Watch ngokungangabazeki iyiwashi elihlakaniphile elingcono kakhulu, futhi nakuba i-Apple isanda kufika kulo mkhakha, ikwazile ukuthatha. U-50% wemakethe enenguqulo eyodwa yalo mkhiqizo. I-iPhone 6s, noma kuyi-ESKO kuphela, ngicabanga ukuthi inikeze ukuthuthuka okuningi futhi I-3D Touch inhle kakhulu. Yize i-iPad Pro iyiphrofayili emincane, futhi ingumkhiqizo omuhle, iMacBook 2015 yinhle kakhulu futhi iyasebenza ku-NetBoot - ngakho-ke ukuphela kwendawo lapho ingathanda ukusungula khona okwengeziwe i-iMac ne-MacBook Pro - I-Touch ID namakhamera angcono. , Ngokwesibonelo. Noma kunjalo, "i-PC", i-Apple yiyona kuphela eyakhula, ngaphandle kwalokho kwaba nokwehla okujwayelekile kwale makethe.
Mhlawumbe umbhali angakucacisa lokhu.
Uqinisile, okuningi kwakho kuhlobene nesofthiwe, cishe kuyo yonke imikhiqizo, noma ngabe i-Watch, iPhones, iPads, Macs, noma i-Apple TV. Siguqule amagama.
Yebo, bekunamaphutha amaningi. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ngisabheka i-SW evela ku-Apple njengenketho engcono kakhulu - angisho ukuthi akafuni ukuyisebenzisa - uyayenza.
Uma kungenjalo, i-VR cishe ayinangqondo ukuyixazulula okwamanje - kodwa ngingathanda ngempela uma i-Apple ihlanganisa into efana ne-Kinect ku-TV. Futhi isikrini sangokwezifiso ngeke sibe buhlungu - kulula futhi uma i-ATV icabanga ukuthatha imakethe yamabhokisi ekhebula, iyanikezwa.
Kube ne-boom efanayo ngemuva kuka-2010 nge-3D. Cishe maningi amandla afihliwe ku-VR, kodwa nakanjani, njengoba umbhali abhala, sisekuqaleni. Ngicabanga ukuthi kuzodingeka silinde isikhathi eside ngemikhiqizo eqediwe.
