Discover a cool pop-up book, and express my dissatisfication to steemhunt 發現一個很酷的產品，順便表達對steemhunt的不滿

I found a cool and unique pop-up book named "This Book Is a Planetarium" which I would like to share with you. The pop-up book is no longer just a work of art, but a functional one.

我發現了一個很酷的立體書，叫做"This Book Is a Planetarium"。這本書把立體書又提升到了另一個層次，不只是個值得收藏的藝術品，還有很多實用的功能。

The official site has a description about this book:

Paper Engineer Kelli Anderson, who also created the pop-up This Book is a Camera in 2015, now takes the concept of pop-ups with real functionality to a whole new level. The result is a surprising and beautiful book with stylish pop-ups that all have different functions like a musical instrument with strings, a spiralgraph, a decoder ring, a perpetual calendar and a speaker that amplifies the sound of your smartphone.

You can learn something new while you play. Every page is a new surprise, let you learn science, education, and fun while reading the book. I think it's a wonderful educational tool for kids.

正如官網對這本書的描述，紙張工程師Kelli Anderson在創作了This Book is a Camera，把立體書的實用性提升到了一個新的層次。這是一本美麗且令人驚嘆的書，其中功能有樂器、萬花尺、解碼圈、萬年曆、手機擴音喇叭等

你可以在遊戲中邊玩邊學習，每一頁都是一個新的驚喜。我認為這本書很適合做為陪伴小孩子一起閱讀的教育工具，小孩子可以從中學習一些科學的原理和知識，也可以得到很多樂趣。

Functions 功能性

---

There are six functions in this book 這本書包含了六種功能，敘述如下：

1. Instrument 撥弦樂器

Use the yellow pick attached to the top left corner of the page or your finger to play the strings and make a song.

你可以用左上角附上的黃色撥片來彈奏，也可以用自己的手指來彈奏，就像彈奏吉他一樣。據說另一隻手可以按住弦來改變音階，所以可以真正彈奏出音樂。

2. Decoder 解碼器

Use the decoding ring to add the message you want to convey or decode the message. Using a set of numbers as a password, you can use the decoder to get a corresponding set of encrypted text. In opposite, this set of passwords can be used to decode.

這個解碼器可以幫你的訊息加密，外圈是你的訊息，裡圈則設定一個數字為密碼，轉到正確的密碼後，就可以得到一組加密的文字。將這組看似無意義的文字交給你的朋友，只有知道密碼的人才能使用這個解碼器來還原正確的訊息。是不是很有趣？我想光是這個功能就可以讓小孩子玩上大半天了。

3. Calendar 萬年曆

You can quickly check the date and the week from this calendar, which is highly practical.

可以迅速查詢日期及星期的萬年曆，實用性頗高

4. Planetarium 天文星象圖

Turn on the flashlight function of the mobile phone and put it under the planetarium in the dark. The planetarium will project the autumn northern hemisphere constellation diagram on the ceiling.

這個是我最喜歡的功能，也是這本書的主打。

把手機的手電筒功能打開，放到這個貝殼狀的外罩底下。在黑暗中，就會映照出美得令人屏息的暈光，透過外罩上的鏤空，可以把北半球秋天的星座圖映照到天花板上，營造星空下的浪漫情懷。

5. Speaker 擴音喇叭

Use your phone or any music player to play music, then place your phone at the arrow and the music will be amplified.

這個功能也是我覺得很有創意的設計，利用聲波傳導的物理性，將手機的聲音透過紙張達到擴音的效果。其中三角箭頭和喇叭中的空隙，完美的成為一個手機座，是個令人讚賞的小巧思。

6. Spiralgraph 萬花尺

Use the Spirograph on the left side of the page to draw a variety of geometric shapes on the right side of the page.

不知道大家小時候有沒有玩過這個萬花尺？我小時候就曾經被萬花尺創造出來的美麗圖像迷惑過，顯然從小就是外貌協會的成員。

我認為這個功能雖然不是什麼新的創意，但是很適合讓小孩透過這個萬花尺創造出美麗的花朵並且培養他們的美感，小朋友會因此很有成就感。

It's originally a hunt for steemhunt, but it's delisted. The reason is the product is not qualified to an innovative engineering solution.

這篇文章原本是在steemhunt發表了英文版本，但是被steemhunt下架了。下架的原因是因為產品不符合規定。

Here is their reply on discord

以下是他們的意見：

it is still a popup book. It is a cool popup book though.

I looked at the book and while it is very nicely designed, maybe even with things/processes not common in the world of popup-books, I don’t think that qualifies as innovative engineering as such. If there would have been a crowdfunding campaign with hundreds of people backing it with real money, I would have considered that crowdfunding campaign “validation of innovative aspect” because the large amount of backers. Without that to me it’s still just a popup-book. And not an innovative engineering solution.

So the reason to be delisted because it's "just" a pop-up book, no matter how "cool" it is and how its functions use many physical principles. Although the mobile phone speaker is a kind of 3C product, the mistake is that it's only made of paper.

Unless the book can get the support of thousands of people on the crowdfunding website, it can turn into a "not just" pop-up book, how ridiculous and sad it sounds!

Your own value depends on the affirmation of others, it is as cruel as life!

Well, I still think this book is a "Wow!" product. So I write the bilingual version to share with you.

I can't change the rule of steemhunt, but I can follow my own rule on my blog.

所以被下架的原因是因為這“只不過”是個立體書，不管他有多酷，不管他的功能運用了許多物理上的原理，他“只不過”是個立體書。儘管手機擴音喇叭跟3C有關，錯就錯在他只是紙做的。除非這本書可以得到上千人在眾籌網站的支持，才能變身“不只是”立體書，聽起多麼荒謬及悲哀啊！

自己的價值得靠別人的肯定，果然跟人生一樣殘酷！

好吧！人在屋簷下不得不低頭，人家的規則要怎麼玩，我也無從改變。可是在我自己的版面，我怒加上中文，再發一篇總可以吧！無論如何，我還是覺得這是一本很值得推薦的令人Wow！的立體書!
