My story begins right here actually in Rajasthan
0

3000
我的故事實際上開始在拉賈斯坦
00:18
about two years ago.
1
3000
2000
大約在二年前
00:20
I was in the desert, under the starry skies
2
5000
3000
我在沙漠裡，在星空下
00:23
with the Sufi singer Mukhtiar Ali.
3
8000
2000
和蘇菲歌手 Mukhtiar Ali.
00:25
And we were in conversation
4
10000
2000
我們有一個談話
00:27
about how nothing had changed
5
12000
2000
關於沒有任何改變的現狀
00:29
since the time of the ancient Indian epic "The Mahabharata."
6
14000
3000
自從古印度史詩“摩訶婆羅多”
00:32
So back in the day, when us Indians wanted to travel
7
17000
3000
在以前，當我們印度人想旅行
00:35
we'd jump into a chariot and we'd zoom across the sky.
8
20000
3000
我們會跳上馬車，放大整個天空
00:38
Now we do the same with airplanes.
9
23000
3000
現在我們也用飛機這樣做
00:41
Back then,
10
26000
2000
當年
00:43
when Arjuna, the great Indian warrior prince,
11
28000
2000
當 Arjuna，印度偉大的戰士王子，
00:45
when he was thirsty, he'd take out a bow,
12
30000
2000
當他口渴時，他拿出一隻弓
00:47
he'd shoot it into the ground and water would come out.
13
32000
3000
他射向地面，而水湧了出來
00:50
Now we do the same
14
35000
2000
現在我們也這樣做
00:52
with drills and machines.
15
37000
2000
用鑽孔機和機器
00:54
The conclusion that we came to
16
39000
2000
我們得到一個結論
00:56
was that magic had been replaced
17
41000
2000
就是魔法被機器
00:58
by machinery.
18
43000
2000
取代了
01:00
And this made me really sad.
19
45000
3000
這讓我非常難過
01:03
I found myself becoming a little bit of a technophobe.
20
48000
3000
我發現自己變得有點"科技恐懼"
01:06
I was terrified by this idea
21
51000
2000
我被這個想法嚇壞了
01:08
that I would lose the ability
22
53000
2000
我失去了這個能力
01:10
to enjoy and appreciate the sunset
23
55000
2000
來享受和欣賞日落
01:12
without having my camera on me, without tweeting it to my friends.
24
57000
3000
在沒有相機在身上，沒有推特給我們的朋友們
01:15
And it felt like technology
25
60000
2000
這樣好像科技
01:17
should enable magic, not kill it.
26
62000
2000
應該是啟動魔法，而不是消滅他
01:19
When I was a little girl,
27
64000
2000
當我還是個小女孩
01:21
my grandfather gave me his little silver pocket watch.
28
66000
3000
我的祖父給我他的小銀色懷錶
01:24
And this piece of 50-year-old technology
29
69000
3000
這個有50年歲科技的東西
01:27
became the most magical thing to me.
30
72000
2000
對我而言變成最具有魔法的東西
01:29
It became a gilded gateway
31
74000
2000
他變成一個渡金的窗口
01:31
into a world full of pirates and shipwrecks
32
76000
3000
通向一個充滿海盜與沉船
01:34
and images in my imagination.
33
79000
3000
和影像在我的想像裡
01:37
So I felt like our cellphones
34
82000
2000
所以我感覺到我們的手機
01:39
and our fancy watches and our cameras
35
84000
2000
和我們花俏的手錶和我們的相機
01:41
had stopped us from dreaming.
36
86000
2000
已經讓我們停止作夢了
01:43
They stopped us from being inspired.
37
88000
2000
他們阻止了我們的靈感
01:45
And so I jumped in, I jumped into this world of technology,
38
90000
3000
所以我跳進去，跳進一個充滿科技的世界
01:48
to see how I could use it to enable magic
39
93000
2000
來看看我如何運用他來啟動魔法
01:50
as opposed to kill it.
40
95000
2000
而不是要消滅他
01:52
I've been illustrating books since I was 16.
41
97000
2000
從16歲我開始畫圖本
01:54
And so when I saw the iPad,
42
99000
2000
而現在當我看到 iPad
01:56
I saw it as a storytelling device
43
101000
2000
我認為他是一個說故事的裝置
01:58
that could connect readers all over the world.
44
103000
3000
他可以連接整個世界的讀者
02:01
It can know how we're holding it.
45
106000
3000
他知道我們如何握住他
02:04
It can know where we are.
46
109000
2000
他知道我們在那裡
02:06
It brings together image and text
47
111000
2000
他可以同時有圖畫與文字
02:08
and animation and sound and touch.
48
113000
3000
和動畫與聲音和觸控
02:11
Storytelling is becoming
49
116000
2000
說故事變成
02:13
more and more multi-sensorial.
50
118000
2000
愈來愈多的感官刺激
02:15
But what are we doing with it?
51
120000
2000
但我們能拿它做什麼？
02:17
So I'm actually just going to go in and launch Khoya,
52
122000
3000
所以我開始開發 柯亞
02:20
an interactive app for the iPad.
53
125000
3000
一個 iPad 上的互動式軟體
02:24
So it says, "Place your fingers
54
129000
2000
所以它說：把你的手指
02:26
upon each light."
55
131000
2000
放在每一個亮點上
02:28
And so --
56
133000
2000
然後
02:31
(Music)
57
136000
10000
(音樂)
02:55
It says, "This box belongs to ... "
58
160000
4000
它說：我個箱子屬於
02:59
And so I type in my name.
59
164000
2000
我打上我的名字
03:01
And actually I become a character in the book.
60
166000
2000
然後，我變成書本的一個角色
03:03
At various points, a little letter drops down to me --
61
168000
3000
在不同點，一個小小字往下掉
03:06
and the iPad knows where you live because of GPS --
62
171000
3000
而 iPad 知道你住那裡，因為 GPS
03:09
which is actually addressed to me.
63
174000
2000
知道我正確的位址
03:11
The child in me is really excited
64
176000
2000
我的小孩非常興奮
03:13
by these kinds of possibilities.
65
178000
2000
因為這些可能性
03:15
Now I've been talking a lot about magic.
66
180000
3000
現在我已講了關於魔法的事
03:18
And I don't mean wizards and dragons,
67
183000
3000
我並不是指精靈和龍
03:21
I mean the kind of childhood magic,
68
186000
2000
我是指一種童年的魔法
03:23
those ideas that we all harbored as children.
69
188000
3000
當我們還是孩子時所懷著的想法
03:26
This idea of fireflies in a jar, for some reason,
70
191000
2000
因為某些原因，罐子裡的螢火蟲的想法
03:28
was always really exciting to me.
71
193000
2000
總是令我興奮
03:30
And so over here you need to tilt your iPad,
72
195000
3000
這裡你需要傾斜你的 iPad
03:33
take the fireflies out.
73
198000
2000
讓螢火蟲飛出來
03:35
And they actually illuminate your way through the rest of the book.
74
200000
3000
他們真的會照亮你的路徑通過書的另一邊
03:41
Another idea that really fascinated me as a child
75
206000
3000
另一個想法在我是孩子時就已深深的著迷
03:44
was that an entire galaxy could be contained
76
209000
2000
整個星系可能是被一個
03:46
within a single marble.
77
211000
2000
彈珠所包圍
03:48
And so over here,
78
213000
2000
這裡的
03:50
each book and each world
79
215000
2000
每本書，每個世界
03:52
becomes a little marble
80
217000
2000
都變成一個小小的彈珠
03:54
that I drag in
81
219000
2000
我拖曳
03:56
to this magical device within the device.
82
221000
3000
到這個神奇的裝置
03:59
And it opens up a map.
83
224000
5000
它會開啟一張地圖
04:04
All along, all fantasy books have always had maps,
84
229000
3000
隨著所有的童話書都有地圖
04:07
but these maps have been static.
85
232000
2000
但這些地圖是靜態的
04:09
This is a map that grows and glows
86
234000
3000
這是一張會成長和發亮的地圖
04:12
and becomes your navigation for the rest of the book.
87
237000
2000
而且變成這本書其他部分的領航圖
04:14
It reveals itself to you at certain points in the book as well.
88
239000
3000
它會向你揭示這本書上的某個特點
04:17
So I'm just going to enter in.
89
242000
2000
現在我將要進去看看
04:21
Another thing that's actually really important to me
90
246000
3000
另一件事真的是對我非常重要
04:24
is creating content that is Indian
91
249000
3000
就是在印度創作這些內容
04:27
and yet very contemporary.
92
252000
2000
還要具備現代感
04:29
Over here, these are the Apsaras.
93
254000
2000
這裡，這些是飛天
04:31
So we've all heard about fairies and we've all heard about nymphs,
94
256000
3000
我們都聽過仙女，而且我們都聽過有關女神
04:34
but how many people outside of India
95
259000
3000
但有多少在印度以外的人
04:37
know about their Indian counterparts, the Apsaras?
96
262000
3000
知道有關他們印度相對應的人 ，飛天？
04:40
These poor Apsaras have been trapped inside Indra's chambers for thousands of years
97
265000
4000
這些可憐的飛天，千百年來一直被困在因陀羅的房間內
04:44
in an old and musty book.
98
269000
2000
在一個古老的發霉的書
04:46
And so we're bringing them back
99
271000
2000
所以我們要把他們帶回
04:48
in a contemporary story for children.
100
273000
3000
在當代兒童的故事
04:59
And a story that actually deals with new issues
101
284000
3000
而一個故事，實際上涉及了新問題
05:02
like the environmental crisis.
102
287000
2000
像是環境危機
05:04
(Music)
103
289000
3000
(音樂)
05:25
Speaking of the environmental crisis,
104
310000
4000
說到環境的危機
05:29
I think a big problem has been in the last 10 years
105
314000
3000
我認為有一個大問題，在過去十年
05:32
is that children have been locked inside their rooms,
106
317000
2000
孩子們被鎖在他們的房間裡
05:34
glued to their PCs, they haven't been able to get out.
107
319000
2000
被電腦給粘住了，他們無法走出來
05:36
But now with mobile technology,
108
321000
2000
但是現在的行動裝置科技
05:38
we can actually take our children outside into the natural world
109
323000
3000
我們可以運用他們的科技帶我們的孩子
05:41
with their technology.
110
326000
2000
走向真實的世界
05:43
One of the interactions in the book
111
328000
2000
本書其中的一個互動是
05:45
is that you're sent off on this quest
112
330000
2000
你發送這個任務
05:47
where you need to go outside,
113
332000
2000
你需要到外面去
05:49
take out your camera on the iPad
114
334000
2000
開啟你 iPad 上的相機
05:51
and collect pictures of different natural objects.
115
336000
2000
並收集不同的自然景色照片
05:53
When I was a child, I had multiple collections
116
338000
2000
當我還是個孩子，我有不同的蒐集
05:55
of sticks and stones and pebbles and shells.
117
340000
3000
木棍、石塊、鵝卵石和貝殼
05:58
And somehow kids don't do that anymore.
118
343000
2000
而現在的孩子都不做這些了
06:00
So in bringing back this childhood ritual,
119
345000
2000
所以帶回童年的儀式
06:02
you need to go out
120
347000
2000
你必須走出去
06:04
and, in one chapter, take a picture of a flower
121
349000
2000
在第一章，要照一張花的照片
06:06
and then tag it.
122
351000
2000
然後標記
06:08
In another chapter, you need to take a picture of a piece of bark
123
353000
2000
在另一章，你需要照一張一塊樹皮的相片
06:10
and then tag that.
124
355000
2000
然後標記
06:12
And what happens
125
357000
2000
發生了什麼事
06:14
is that you actually create a digital collection of photographs
126
359000
2000
實際上你做了一本數位相簿
06:16
that you can then put up online.
127
361000
2000
你可以放在網路上
06:18
A child in London puts up a picture of a fox
128
363000
2000
一個倫敦的孩子放了狐狸的相片
06:20
and says, "Oh, I saw a fox today."
129
365000
2000
並說："啊，我今天看到一隻狐狸"
06:22
A child in India says, "I saw a monkey today."
130
367000
2000
一個印度的孩子說："我今天看到一隻猴子"
06:24
And it creates this kind of social network
131
369000
2000
它創造了這樣的社群網路
06:26
around a collection of digital photographs
132
371000
2000
由數位相片所圍繞而成
06:28
that you've actually taken.
133
373000
2000
那是你親自照的
06:30
In the possibilities of linking together
134
375000
3000
在連接這些魔法和地球
06:33
magic, the earth and technology,
135
378000
3000
及科技的可能
06:36
there are multiple possibilities.
136
381000
2000
有太多的可能性
06:38
In the next book, we plan on having an interaction
137
383000
2000
在下一本書，我們計畫有一個互動
06:40
where you take your iPad out with the video on
138
385000
2000
把你的 iPad 視頻打開
06:42
and through augmented reality,
139
387000
2000
透過這些現實
06:44
you see this layer of animated pixies
140
389000
2000
你看到這一層的動畫
06:46
appear on a houseplant that's outside your house.
141
391000
4000
室內盆栽出現在你的房子外面
06:50
At one point, your screen is filled up with leaves.
142
395000
3000
這時，你的螢幕充滿了葉子
06:53
And so you need to make the sound of wind and blow them away
143
398000
3000
你需要發出風的聲音將他們吹開
06:56
and read the rest of the book.
144
401000
2000
然後才能繼續閱讀本書
06:58
We're moving, we're all moving here,
145
403000
3000
我們感動，我們這裡的每個人
07:01
to a world where the forces of nature
146
406000
2000
都感動到大自然的力量
07:03
come closer together to technology,
147
408000
2000
與科技緊密的結合
07:05
and magic and technology can come closer together.
148
410000
3000
而魔法與科技可以緊密的結合
07:08
We're harnessing energy from the sun.
149
413000
3000
我們利用來自太陽的能量
07:11
We're bringing our children and ourselves
150
416000
3000
我們帶領我們的孩子和我們自己
07:14
closer to the natural world
151
419000
2000
更接近大自然
07:16
and that magic and joy
152
421000
2000
魔法和喜悅
07:18
and childhood love that we had
153
423000
2000
讓孩子們透過一個簡單的故事
07:20
through the simple medium of a story.
154
425000
2000
喜愛我們所擁有的各種事物
07:22
Thank you.
155
427000
2000
謝謝
07:24
