OK, What does this device do?
Let me briefly explain.
- At first, You have to convert a video or texts into a suitable format by using https://shihen.now.sh/
- Copy the downloaded files (`offsets.bin` and `images.bin`) onto a microSD card. (then insert the microSD to SHIHEN)
- SHIHEN hourly wakes up and shows frames one by one.
- Sometimes you may find your best-loved scene/quote on SHIHEN.
- (It's also possible to fast forward the frames manually by pressing the switch.)

(What does "SHIHEN" stand for? - It comes from a Japanese word "しへん", which has two different meanings; "紙片" means "a piece of paper"; "詩片" means "a piece of poetry".)
