2000
過去的一年半間,
00:17
my team at Push Pop Press
1
2000
2000
我在Push Pop Press(一數位創造出版平台)的團隊
00:19
and Charlie Melcher and Melcher Media
2
4000
2000
與查理米謝爾和米謝爾媒體公司
00:21
have been working on creating
3

2000
共同投入創造
00:23
the first feature-length interactive book.
4
8000
2000
第一本長篇的互動電子書.
00:25
It's called "Our Choice"
5
10000
2000
書名為"我們的選擇"
00:27
and the author is Al Gore.
6
12000
2000
作者是艾爾高爾(前美國副總統).
00:29
It's the sequel to "An Inconvenient Truth,"
7
14000
2000
本書為"不願面對的真相"之續作
00:31
and it explores all the solutions
8
16000
2000
並探討所有可以
00:33
that will solve the climate crisis.
9
18000
2000
解決氣候危機的方案.
00:35
The book starts like this. This is the cover.
10
20000
3000
這本書是這樣開始的. 這是它的封面.
00:39
As the globe spins,
11
24000
2000
隨著地球轉動,
00:41
we can see our location,
12
26000
2000
我們可以看到我們的所在地.
00:43
and we can open the book
13
28000
3000
接著, 我們打開書
00:46
and swipe through the chapters
14
31000
2000
拖曳過各個章節
00:48
to browse the book.
15
33000
2000
來瀏覽本書.
00:51
Or, we can scroll through the pages at the bottom.
16
36000
3000
或者, 我們可以滑過底下的書頁.
00:55
And if we wanted to zoom into a page,
17
40000
2000
如果我們想要放大某一頁,
00:57
we can just open it up.
18
42000
2000
可以直接將這頁打開.
00:59
And anything you see in the book,
19
44000
2000
你在這本書看到的所有東西,
01:01
you can pick up with two fingers
20
46000
2000
都可以用兩根手指挑起
01:03
and lift off the page
21
48000
2000
拉離頁面
01:05
and open up.
22
50000
2000
再打開.
01:07
And if you want to go back
23
52000
2000
如果想回上一步
01:09
and read the book again,
24
54000
2000
繼續看這本書,
01:11
you just fold it back up and put it back on the page.
25
56000
3000
你可以將它折起, 再放回頁面.
01:15
And so this works the same way; you pick it up and pop it open.
26
60000
3000
而這也是以相同的方式; 將圖片挑起, 然後拉開圖片.
01:18
(Audio) Al Gore: I consider myself
27
63000
2000
(書中音效)AG: 我將我自己
01:20
among the majority
28
65000
2000
視為絕大部分
01:22
who look at windmills and feel
29
67000
2000
會看著風車而認為
01:24
they're a beautiful addition to the landscape.
30
69000
2000
它們為這片風景增加麗色的人.
01:26
Mike Matas: And so throughout the whole book,
31
71000
2000
MM: 在這整本書中,
01:28
Al Gore will walk you through and explain the photos.
32
73000
3000
高爾會從頭到尾的導讀並解釋所有的照片.
01:31
This photo, you can you can even see on an interactive map.
33
76000
3000
這張照片裡, 你可以看到一張互動地圖.
01:35
Zoom into it and see where it was taken.
34
80000
3000
放大這張地圖就可以看到照片是在哪裡拍攝的.
01:40
And throughout the book,
35
85000
2000
在本書中,
01:42
there's over an hour of documentary footage
36
87000
2000
有超過一小時的紀錄片
01:44
and interactive animations.
37
89000
2000
和互動動畫.
01:46
So you can open this one.
38
91000
3000
因此, 你可以打開這一個.
01:49
(Audio) AG: Most modern wind turbines consist of a large ...
39
94000
3000
(書中音效) AG: 多數的現代風力發電機具有一大...
01:52
MM: It starts playing immediately.
40
97000
2000
MM: 影片會馬上開始播放.
01:54
And while it's playing, we can pinch and peak back at the page,
41
99000
3000
在播放的同時, 我們可以捏起影片, 再將其置回頁面,
01:57
and the movie keeps playing.
42
102000
2000
影片還會繼續播放.
01:59
Or we can zoom out to the table of contents,
43
104000
3000
或者, 我們可以縮小, 退至目錄,
02:02
and the video keeps playing.
44
107000
3000
影片也還是繼續播放.
02:07
But one of the coolest things in this book
45
112000
2000
但這本書其中一個最酷的特點,
02:09
are the interactive infographics.
46
114000
2000
在於它的互動資料圖表.
02:11
This one shows the wind potential
47
116000
2000
這張圖表顯示出美國
02:13
all around the United States.
48
118000
2000
各地的風力潛能.
02:15
But instead of just showing us the information,
49
120000
3000
不只看到這些資訊,
02:18
we can take our finger and explore,
50
123000
3000
我們還可以用手指去探索,
02:21
and see, state by state,
51
126000
2000
每一州的查看,
02:23
exactly how much wind potential there is.
52
128000
2000
到底那州有多少的風力潛能.
02:25
We can do the same for geothermal energy
53
130000
3000
同樣的, 我們也可以檢視地熱能
02:30
and solar power.
54
135000
2000
和太陽能.
02:38
This is one of my favorites.
55
143000
2000
這張是我最喜愛的之一,
02:40
So this shows ...
56
145000
3000
這邊你可以看到...
02:45
(Laughter)
57
150000
4000
(笑聲)
02:49
(Applause)
58
154000
2000
(掌聲)
02:51
When the wind is blowing,
59
156000
2000
當風起時,
02:53
any excess energy coming from the windmill
60
158000
3000
所有來自風車的多餘能量
02:56
is diverted into the battery.
61
161000
2000
都被轉移至電池中.
02:58
And as the wind starts dying down,
62
163000
2000
隨著風慢慢平息,
03:00
any excess energy will be diverted back into the house --
63
165000
2000
所有多餘的能量會轉移回到屋子中
03:02
the lights never go out.
64
167000
3000
所以屋子裡永遠不會沒有電.
03:08
And this whole book, it doesn't just run on the iPad.
65
173000
3000
而這整本書, 不只能在iPad操作,
03:11
It also runs on the iPhone.
66
176000
3000
也可以在iPhone上使用.
03:14
And so you can start reading on your iPad in your living room
67
179000
2000
所以, 你可以在家裡的客廳用iPad開始讀這本書
03:16
and then pick up where you left off on the iPhone.
68
181000
2000
之後再以iPhone繼續往下讀.
03:18
And it works the exact same way.
69
183000
2000
在iPhone上也是相同的操作方式.
03:20
You can pinch into any page.
70
185000
2000
你可以挑起任何一頁.
03:22
Open it up.
71
187000
2000
打開這個頁面.
03:38
So that's Push Pop Press' first title,
72
203000
2000
那麼, 這就是Push Pop Press的第一本書,
03:40
Al Gore's "Our Choice."
73
205000
2000
高爾的"我們的選擇".
03:42
Thank you.
74
207000
2000
謝謝.
03:44
(Applause)
75
209000
8000
(掌聲)
03:52
Chris Anderson: That's spectacular.
76
217000
3000
CA: 剛剛那真是太驚人了.
03:55
Do you want to be a publisher,
77
220000
2000
你們想成為出版社,
03:57
a technology licenser?
78
222000
2000
技術授權公司?
03:59
What is the business here?
79
224000
2000
你們公司是做什麼的?
04:01
Is this something that other people can do?
80
226000
2000
其他人也可以做一樣的事嗎?
04:03
MM: Yeah, we're building a tool
81
228000
2000
MM: 是的, 我們建立的是一項工具
04:05
that makes it really easy for publishers right now to build this content.
82
230000
3000
可讓出版社非常容易的建設書的內容.
04:08
So Melcher Media's team, who's on the East coast --
83
233000
2000
也就是說, 米謝爾媒體的團隊, 他們位於東岸--
04:10
and we're on the West coast, building the software --
84
235000
3000
而我們在西岸建立這套軟體--
04:13
takes our tool
85
238000
2000
利用我們的工具
04:15
and, every day, drags in images and text.
86
240000
3000
每天將圖片和文字拖曳入書中以編排內容.
04:18
CA: So you want to license this software to publishers
87
243000
3000
CA: 所以, 你們希望將這套軟體授權給出版社
04:21
to make books as beautiful as that? (MM: Yes.)
88
246000
2000
來製造出這麼美的書? (MM: 是的.)
04:23
All right. Mike, thanks so much.
89
248000
2000
好的. 麥克, 非常感謝你.
04:25
MM: Thank you. (CA: Good luck.)
90
250000
2000
MM: 謝謝. (CA: 祝你好運.)
04:27
(Applause)
91
252000
2000
