把你的手机变成电子称
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.
手机逐渐取代我们生活中很多东西.而目前受到威胁的东西就是称.
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,华为推出了一款新手机.这款手机应用压力感应屏,可称出小东西的重量.而现在,iPhone 6s也将在其系统中推出类似功能的应用软件.
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应用程序应用3D触摸技术,可将称重物的重量转化为数据.而苹果貌似对这个程序不感兴趣,拒绝在应用商店中上线.
Gravity was created by California-based design engineer Ryan McLeod who posted a blog about the development process on Medium.
Gravity应用程序创建者为加州设计师瑞恩•麦克劳德.曾在其博客中发表了媒介的发展过程.
It can be calibrated using quarter coins placed on a spoon and once calibrated, objects up to 0.8lbs (385g) can be weighed.
将硬币（25分面值）放在托盘上就可以完成手机称的校对工作.校对后,重量在0.8磅（385克）内的物品都可以用此软件上称重.
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.
麦克劳德先生称,托盘必不可少."因为我们需要一个传感物.放在手机屏上,像我们的手指触摸屏幕一样.这样手机称就成了家居用品.家里的小东西就可以拿来称了."
'A spoon was the perfect solution we had been looking for.'
"小托盘完美地解决了问题的症结."
