新华网5月16日电 据美国科技博客Gizmodo报道,几十年前,麦当劳意识到,食物不是吸引孩子们来餐厅的唯一途径。玩具、游乐场和卡通人物也有助于事业发展。现在,恰逢2014年世界杯足球赛,一家叫做Giraffas的巴西快餐连锁店想出了一个聪明的办法,来吸引球迷的光顾。
首先,下载一个免费的手机应用程序。然后,你可以把你的智能手机支撑在服务餐盆一侧的底端,让它的前置摄像头能够捕捉到已插入纸张上的足球场图形。再从餐垫边缘撕下一片,折叠成纸球,对着虚拟屏幕上的守门员轻弹。照相机会检测其运动,并确定是否进球得分。
即使你对薯条没有兴趣,相信成百上千的铁杆球迷们也不会失望的。

Decades ago McDonald"s realized that food wasn"t the only way to draw kids into its restaurants. Toys, playgrounds, and cartoon characters all help the cause, and now a Brazilian food chain called Giraffas has come up with a clever way to lure soccer fans into its restaurants, just in time for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
After downloading a free app, you can prop your smartphone up on its side on one end of the serving tray, allowing its front-facing camera to detect the soccer field graphics on the paper insert. Folded paper balls are torn off the edge of the placemat, and can actually be flicked at a virtual on-screen goalie, with the camera detecting their motion and determining whether a goal has been scored.
Do you want fries with that? No, but a few thousand screaming supportive fans wouldn"t hurt. [YouTube via DamnGeeky]
