蘋果公司申請VR專利減輕暈車痛苦

蘋果公司可能很快會發(fā)動一場關于人們?nèi)绾卧诼飞舷r間的革命。

The firm has filed a patent that describes howpassengers in autonomous vehicles could pass thetime with VR headsets.

近日，該公司提交了一份專利申請書，描述了乘客在自動駕駛汽車上如何通過虛擬現(xiàn)實(VR)頭戴式受話器來打發(fā)時間。

The headsets would allow passengers to play gamesor create a "relaxing" environment while on theirjourney.

該設備將使乘客在旅途中能玩游戲或營造一個放松的環(huán)境。

Apple also suggests future cars could lack windows, instead using interior screens alongside VRheadsets to display virtual surroundings.

蘋果還指出未來汽車可能不帶窗戶，而以內(nèi)置屏幕和VR頭戴式受話器展現(xiàn)虛擬環(huán)境。

Virtual images could be synchronized with the movement of the car. This could also helpcombat motion sickness, Apple claimed.

虛擬畫面可與車輛的移動保持同步，蘋果稱這也將有助于減輕暈動癥。

Substituting windows for screens will also save money and improve safety.

將車窗換成屏幕還能夠節(jié)約成本，提高安全性。

Despite a statement from last year claiming Apple is not developing its own vehicles, it seemsto be speeding ahead with its self-driving program.

盡管去年蘋果在一份聲明中聲稱未研發(fā)自己的汽車，但該公司似乎正全力開發(fā)其自動駕駛項目。
