Whats up, non-magical world?
哈囉, 麻瓜世界!
哈囉, 凡人世界!
My name is Matthew and I’m a designer, a technologist, a former reading teacher, and... a geek.
我叫馬修。我是一個設計師、技術人員、前閱讀老師，同時也是個.......阿宅。
And this is a Kickstarter Project for The Cauldron, a Wizarding Pub and Inn located in London, where the magic of the wizarding universe comes to life through technology and the internet of things.
The Cauldron是一個新的募資提案，我們將運用物聯網的科技，將倫敦巫師酒館級旅店等魔法世界的魔力帶到現實生活中。
I would like your help in funding and your co-participating in designing and filling the Cauldron with Magic.
我希望能透過你的資助、並且共同參與創造這個充滿魔力的The Cauldron.
It’s possible to take the ideas that we’ve been reading about for years and make them a reality.
這些年來我們一直閱讀到的這些奇幻故事，都將有機會實現
What I call the Magic of Things. Let me show you.
我叫他魔幻網絡。讓我示範給你看
The Cauldron is a wizarding pub in London where we use technology to make magic feel real.
The Cauldron 是一間在倫敦的巫師酒吧，在這裡我們用科技讓魔法成真
A small and shabby-looking pub, inspired by the writings of authors like Rowling, Tolkien, and Lewis, where you can feel like you are at the threshold of the magical world.
這間看似小而破舊的酒吧，卻啟發了J.K.羅琳、托爾金和路易斯，在這裡你可以感受到，魔法世界和我們只有一線之隔
Much of the magic in the pub will be controlled with a magic wand. We can use the type of technology found in key fobs and touch-sensitive surfaces to design a wand that works with touch and voice controls.
大部分酒吧裡的魔法將由魔杖控制。我們運用鑰匙鎖結合觸感表面科技設計出魔杖，達到觸控及語音辨識
For example, when controlling the lights.
比如說，當要控制燈光時
Or when lighting a fire.
或是想要點火
We can use touch-sensitive and auto-refill technology at the bar.
我們就可以用觸控、還有酒吧裡的自動填充技術
If we can raise enough money to have an inn as well as a pub, a wand can be used instead of a room key.
如果我們可以募集到足夠的資金把這些科技帶到旅店，我們甚至可以用魔杖來取代房間鑰匙
We can use magnetism to make candles float in mid-air.
我們可以運用磁性將蠟燭浮在半空中
Our Silver Tier Kickstarter Backers and above will have their names written in Permanent Ink in the pub.
我們的銀級以上的資助者將可以得到，用永久墨水將您的姓名留在酒吧里的回饋
And some magical elements, like moving photos, don’t require a wand.
有些魔法物件不用魔杖就可以做到。像是會移動的照片
Our Gold Kickstarter Backers and above will have their moving photos hanging in the pub.
我們會將金級以上資助者的移動照片掛在酒吧裡
Our food menu will feature the dishes described in your favorite books.
在酒吧裡的菜單都會用你最愛這些奇幻小說的內容來命名
And our drinks menu will be inspired by descriptions found in those same sources.
連酒單也是
Every aspect of the pub will be designed so that the more you know about these sources and their roots, the more you will take from your experience.
酒吧裡的每個環節都是根據這些奇幻小說來設計的。你對他們的了解越多，你就能實現越多奇幻體驗
So, how are we going to make this happen and how do you fit into the picture?
所以... 我們將要如何實現這一切？還有你將要如何參與其中?
I have a creative vision, but I am just one fan; you have ideas too.
我有這個新的創意，但我只是一個粉絲。你也會有不同的點子
The Cauldron has a wiki, where anyone can submit and vote on ideas about the types of magic they want to see us make.
The Cauldron裡有個魔法百科，任何人都可以在上面提交自己的想法、並投票選出他們想要看到的魔法，由我們來實現
Leading up to the pub’s opening we will host a series of Wizarding Hackathons in cities around the world, where fans can come together, take ideas from the wiki, and invent magic. Which we will then use as we design different aspects of the Cauldron.
隨著酒吧的開幕式，我們將會在世界各地舉辦一系列的巫師季活動，邀請粉絲來一同將魔法百科裡的點子發想出來，成為The Cauldron的一部分
