Microsoft Corp. is making its first videogame controller designed for
people with disabilities, the latest in a growing number of industry efforts to
accommodate players who face challenges seeing, hearing and directing the
on-screen action.
微软(Microsoft
Co.)正在制作专为残疾人士设计的首款视频游戏控制器，该行业正越来越多地努力为存在视力、听力和屏幕行动障碍的玩家提供合适设备。
The tech giant Thursday unveiled the Xbox Adaptive Controller for Xbox One
consoles and Windows 10 computers. It will cost $100 when it goes on sale later
this year, about $40 more than the standard model.
预计这家科技巨头将在周四推出适用于Xbox One游戏机和Windows 10计算机的Xbox Adaptive
Controller。该设备将在今年晚些时候上市，售价100美元，较标准型号设备贵40美元左右。
A mass-produced piece of gaming hardware is long overdue, advocates say,
and could help people who rely on more expensive, customized gear.
支持者说，大量生产的游戏硬件早就是过期已久的事情了，而这可以帮助那些依赖更昂贵的定制装备的人。
More than 33 million people in North America play videogames with some kind
of disability, ranging from colorblindness to missing limbs, according to
AbleGamers, a nonprofit that pushes for more accessibility in the videogame
industry.
根据非营利组织AbleGamers的数据，北美超过3,300万视频游戏玩家都存在某种程度的残疾，如色盲或肢体残缺等。该组织在视频游戏行业提倡更大程度的无障碍环境。
“Social media has made a huge impact on being able to spread awareness of
our mission and to gain support,” said Craig Kaufman, program director at
AbleGamers, which worked with Microsoft on developing its specialized
controller.
“社交媒体对能够传播我们的使命和获得支持的能力产生了巨大的影响。” AbleGamers项目总监克雷格 · 考夫曼 (Craig
Kaufman)说，微软正在开发专门的控制器。
Microsoft’s Xbox Adaptive Controller is meant to work for gamers with a
wide range of physical limitations. It is lightweight and rectangular like a
keyboard, with large programmable buttons and 19 inputs for connecting
peripherals disabled gamers might require, such as foot pedals or joysticks.
微软的Xbox Adaptive
Controller意在服务于存在各类生理限制的玩家。这款类似键盘的长方形设备非常轻便，配有巨大的程序设定按钮，并有19个输入端口，可供残疾玩家连接所需的外围设备，如脚踏板或操纵杆等。 |
