X1原型控制器公开-本亦打算采用触摸屏，扬声器，嗅觉影视

译者按：控制器的设计是游戏机的重中之重，怎样将想法转变成成品？光有奇思妙想是不够的，最主要的还是要抓住产品的本质和市场的定位，且看微软在给xbox制作控制器时是怎样想的。本文是IGN从Venturebeat的节选内容，挺有意思。老规矩，只发X1区，版主有兴趣可以移至其他区


Xbox One's Prototype Controllers Revealed-Touchscreens, speakers, and smell-o-vision could have been a reality.
X1原型控制器公开-本打算采用触摸屏，扬声器，嗅觉影视

Microsoft has revealed details on a bunch of early Xbox One controller prototypes, many of which included features now found on competitor's final models and one which included something akin to smell-o-vision.
微软最近公开了许多X1控制器的原型控制器，有些原型的创意已经被其他竞争对手采纳到成品中，其中甚至还有类似于嗅觉影视的装置。

In part one of a four-part-breakdown of the controller's history on VentureBeat, Microsoft revealed that hundreds of working controller prototypes were built for play-testing, no matter how far-fetched the idea was. Xbox’s general manager for accessories Zulfi Alam explains that a controller was built that could emit smell, theoretically to offer a greater sense of immersion.
在Venturebeat关于控制器历史的四个部分中的第一部分，微软揭示说曾经有成百上千的控制器原型被制作出来用于测试，不管想法有多离谱。Zulfi Alam，Xbox附件总经理，解释说曾经设计出一款控制器可以散发气味，原理上，这样能够给玩家提供一种浸入式的体验。

“We built small slugs of different types of smells that could actually come out of a controller,” said Alam. “Like, as you walked through a jungle, you’d smell the flora.”
“我们制作了一些能够发出不同种类味道的控制器，”Alam说道，“比如，当你走在丛林中，你就会闻到植物的味道。”

Less outrageous ideas for the Xbox One controller included integration of a touchpad, a camera, and speakers, features that can be found on the DualShock 4 (the touchpad and speakers) and Wii U Gamepad (the camera and speakers.) The reason for getting rid of these, Alam explains, came down to Microsoft's philosophy that the two most important things in the living room should be the Xbox One and the television.
一些对于X1控制不很离谱的想法如触摸屏，摄像头以及扬声器已经可以在DS4（触摸屏，扬声器）以及Wii U（摄像头，扬声器）找到。为什么我们舍弃了这些，Alam解释道，回溯到微软的想法，在客厅中最为重要的两件事就是X1和电视机。

“You've got a great TV with a better speaker than we could ever put in this controller,” explained Microsoft senior industrial designer Quintin Morris. “And it made more sense to [not make players look down at a display], keeping the user’s attention on the TV. We really want them to be immersed in the experience that’s happening in front of them.”
“你已经拥有一个带有良好扬声器的电视，这要比我们放入控制器要强得多。”微软高级工业设计Quintin Morris解释道。“让客户把关注点放在电视上（而不是低头看屏幕）更有意义。我们真正希望用户能够在电视前获得体验。”

Alam emphasized the problem with including a screen: "You’re burning battery life like there’s no tomorrow — not a great idea."
控制器上安装屏幕的问题是，Alam强调说：“这并不是一个好主意——你在燃烧电池的寿命就好像没有明天一样。”

如果手柄带气味这功能，那就是绝对的卖点了！！

其中IGN的一个网友的留言是： 如果我在玩僵尸类的游戏，是否就会闻到腐肉的味道呢？哈哈。。。

味觉控制器的重点显然应该放在硝烟、鲜肉、脑浆和腐尸的味道上面。

嗅觉控制器，那么玩运动类游戏都是汗味咯？赛车彪一盘，满房间汽油和轮胎味？这个太离谱了吧。
话说这样又会增加一笔投资，玩个手柄不仅换电池，还得加气味剂？

这一个手柄得多少钱，成本恐怕控制不住吧。觉得以后应该会有一个手柄的外接设备安装在手柄上实现以上的种种可能。

对比DS4，马上觉得DS4好山寨……
