昨天The Vergecast现场录制的舞台上,Android and Chrome chief Hiroshi Lockheimer(洛克海默)说到了关于 Fuchsia 的终极目标。
Fuchsia is about just pushing the state of the art in terms of operating systems and things that we learn from Fuchsia we can incorporate into other products.
“我们正在研究操作系统的新功能。所以我知道有人会非常兴奋地说,’哦,这是新的Android’,或’这是新的Chrome操作系统’,“洛克海默说。“Fuchsia真的不是那个。Fuchsia只是在操作系统和我们从Fuchsia学到的东西方面推动了最先进的技术,我们可以将其融入到其他产品中。“
他说,实验操作系统的目的还在于尝试不同的外形因素,暗示了Fuchsia可能设计用于智能家居设备,可穿戴设备,甚至可能是扩充或虚拟现实设备。“你知道Android在手机上运行得非常好,并且你知道在Chrome OS的环境中它是应用程序的运行时。但Fuchsia也可能针对某些其他形状因素进行优化。所以我们正在试验。“
洛克海默在他的回答结束后变得有点神秘,接着说:“想想专用设备……现在,每个人都认为Fuchsia是用于手机的。但如果它可以用于其他事情呢?“
在今天早些时候在谷歌I / O举行的单独的Android炉边聊天中,洛克海默提供了一些额外的细节,尽管在他的具体细节中仍然同样神秘。“这不仅仅是手机和个人电脑。在[物联网]的世界中,越来越多的设备需要操作系统和新的运行时等。我认为具有不同优势和专业的多个操作系统有很大的空间。 根据9to5Google的说法,他告诉观众,Fuchsia就是其中之一,所以请继续关注。

But onstage during a live recording of The Vergecast yesterday, Lockheimer finally opened up about the ultimate goal of Fuchsia.
“FUCHSIA IS ABOUT PUSHING THE STATE OF THE ART.”
“We’re looking at what a new take on an operating system could be like. And so I know out there people are getting pretty excited saying, ‘Oh this is the new Android,’ or, ‘This is the new Chrome OS,’” Lockheimer said. “Fuchsia is really not about that. Fuchsia is about just pushing the state of the art in terms of operating systems and things that we learn from Fuchsia we can incorporate into other products.”
He says the point of the experimental OS is to also experiment with different form factors, a hint toward the possibility that Fuchsia is designed to run on smart home devices, wearables, or possibly even augmented or virtual reality devices. “You know Android works really well on phones and and you know in the context of Chrome OS as a runtime for apps there. But Fuchsia may be optimized for certain other form factors as well. So we’re experimenting.”
Lockheimer became somewhat cryptic at the end of his answer, following it up with, “Think about dedicated devices… right now, everybody assumes Fuchsia is for phones. But what if it could be used for other things?”
At a separate Android fireside chat held at Google I/O earlier today, Lockheimer provided some additional details, although still similarly cryptic in his specifics. “It’s not just phones and PCs. In the world of [the Internet of Things], there are increasing number of devices that require operating systems and new runtimes and so on. I think there’s a lot of room for multiple operating systems with different strengths and specializations. Fuchsia is one of those things and so, stay tuned,” he told the audience, according to 9to5Google.
