把你的手機變成電子稱
Turn your iPhone into weighing scales
Phones are gradually replacing a large number of everyday items and the latest household gadget under threat is the weighing scale.
手機逐漸取代我們生活中很多東西.而目前受到威脅的東西就是稱.
Huawei recently unveiled a phone that can be used to weigh small objects thanks to its pressure-sensitive screen, and now an app promises to add the same feature to the iPhone 6s.
近期,華為推出了一款新手機.這款手機應用壓力感應屏,可稱出小東西的重量.而現在,iPhone 6s也將在其系統中推出類似功能的應用軟件.
Called Gravity, the app uses the handset's 3D Touch technology to turn the display into a scale, but Apple doesn't appear to be a fan of the app and has rejected it from the store.
Gravity應用程序應用3D觸摸技術,可將稱重物的重量轉化為數據.而蘋果貌似對這個程序不感興趣,拒絕在應用商店中上線.
Gravity was created by California-based design engineer Ryan McLeod who posted a blog about the development process on Medium.
Gravity應用程序創建者為加州設計師瑞恩•麥克勞德.曾在其博客中發表了媒介的發展過程.
It can be calibrated using quarter coins placed on a spoon and once calibrated, objects up to 0.8lbs (385g) can be weighed.
將硬幣（25分面值）放在托盤上就可以完成手機稱的校對工作.校對后,重量在0.8磅（385克）內的物品都可以用此軟件上稱重.
The spoon is necessary because, as Mr McLeod explained: 'We needed an object that was conductive, had finger-like capacitance, formed a single finger-like touch point, was a household item, and could hold items to be weighed.
麥克勞德先生稱,托盤必不可少."因為我們需要一個傳感物.放在手機屏上,像我們的手指觸摸屏幕一樣.這樣手機稱就成了家居用品.家里的小東西就可以拿來稱了."
'A spoon was the perfect solution we had been looking for.'
"小托盤完美地解決了問題的癥結."
