手机应用模仿口袋妖怪 让你收到来自阴间的视频
A Japanese tombstone company is using the augmented reality technology made popular by Pokemon Go to allow mourners to catch pre-recorded video messages from their deceased loved ones in
cemeteries.
一家日本墓葬公司正使用增强现实技术使得吊唁者能够在墓地里收到他们去世的爱人或亲人生前录制的视频。口袋妖怪的风行使得增强现实技术近来很流行。
Named Spot Message, the new Pokemon Go-inspired app is the brainchild of Yoshiyuki Katori, president of Ryoshin Sekizai, a tombstone company based in Katori, Japan’s Chiba prefecture.
这款受口袋妖怪启迪的新手机软件叫做Spot Message，是一家日本墓葬公司Ryoshin Sekizai董事长Yoshiyuki Katori的创意。该公司位于日本千叶县。
He claims that the new technology realizes his longtime dream of preserving realistic memories of the dearly departed for the living.
他声称增强现实技术实现了他长久以来的梦想，为活着的人保留去世之人的真实影像作为回忆。
My uncle, who ran a paint store, died eight years ago after he fell from a tall structure at work, 33-year-old Katori said.
33岁的Katori说：我的叔叔曾经经营了一家油漆店。八年前他在一栋高层建筑上工作时不幸坠落身亡。
His death was so sudden, and it shattered the lives of his family.
他的去世太过突然，使他的家庭深受打击。
I also respected him a lot, so I would often visit his grave, consulting with him in my mind whenever I had issues concerning my business.
我也很尊敬他，所以我经常会去墓地看望他。
I wondered how comforting it would be if he could talk to me at his grave, with messages like ‘How are you doing?’ and ‘Hang in there.’
每当我生意上有问题时，我也会在脑中和他对话，向他请教。如果他能在墓前和我说说话，问问我‘最近过得如何?’对我说‘坚持下去。’这对我来说会是极大的安慰。
His desire to hear his uncle’s words at his grave inspired the Japanese entrepreneur to use augmented reality to plant pre-recorded messages from the dead at their graves and other places
dear to them, for their living friends and family to discover using their smartphones.
他渴望在墓地听到他叔叔的讲话，于是这给了这位日本企业家灵感：利用增强现实技术将逝者事前录制好的信息植入在各自的墓碑前以及其他对他们有意义的地方，逝者的朋友及家人可以用手机在这些地方收到这些信息。
The Spot Message app is aimed at people looking to leave videos and photos for their loved-ones to discover after they’ve passed away and mixes virtual images with real-life landscapes, just
like Pokemon Go.
Spot Message的目标人群是那些希望在死后为他们的爱人、亲人留下视频和照片的人。和口袋妖怪一样，这里的虚拟图像和真实环境相结合。
However, Katori adds that his service can also be used for other purposes. For example, a husband can plant a message at the place where he proposed, to be discovered by her on their
anniversary, or for mountain climbers to leave congratulatory messages for fellow climbers.
然而，Katori补充说到他的服务也可以用在其他用途上。假如丈夫想在结婚周年纪念日给妻子礼物，他可以在当初求婚的地方留下惊喜信息。或者登山者可以在山上为后来的登山同伴留下祝贺信息。
Spot Message is free to download, and users can submit up to 10 messages simply by registering.
Spot Message现在可以免费下载，用户只需注册就可以上传最多十条信息。
For a larger storage capacity on the company’s cloud servers and up to 30 messages that they can share with up to 200 people, users have to pay a fee.
如果想要在此公司的云服务器上获取更大的储存容量，用户需要付费，这样他们最多就可以上传30条信息，与多达200人分享这些信息。
The augmented reality app was launched on Monday for Android, but an iPhone version will also be available in September.
这款增强现实应用于星期一在安卓市场上线，苹果版也将在九月上线。
