A Genre-Independent Approach to Producing Interactive Screen Media Narratives
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we describe a productionand genreindependent approach to developing interactive and reconfigurable screen media narratives made with recorded essence. It is founded on a declarative language for the representation of interactive narratives called Narrative Structure Language (NSL). A complete software system for authoring and delivery and a number of productions realised with it, some in the public domain, validated the approach. This paper focuses on NSL and the authoring component of the software system.

Authoring Environment for ShapeShifting Screen Media Productions
We define ShapeShifting programmes as interactive and reconfigurable moving image productions that adapt their content, on the fly, to suit the preferences of the viewers or engagers. They are automatically edited at the time of delivery. We have developed a paradigm, a computational model and an accompanying software system for the creation and delivery of ShapeShifting Screen Media programmes...

This paper presents an approach and a computational model, implemented in a software system, for the creation and delivery of interactive moving image productions made with filmed material that level the aesthetic and editing quality of existing linear film and television programmes. They have been validated through a number of productions, notably through a dramatic production delivered on a n...
متن کاملVideo-Based Interactive Storytelling
This thesis proposes a new approach to video-based interactive narratives that uses real-time video compositing techniques to dynamically create video sequences representing the story events generated by planning algorithms. The proposed approach consists of filming the actors representing the characters of the story in front of a green screen, which allows the system to remove the green backgr...

Through descriptive accounts of my working practice and its general post-structuralist standpoint it is my intension to describe and convince the reader that the activity of an interactive art installation viewer is far more complex than simply becoming a user (or a browser) – a commonplace term for the new media art viewing public associated with the activity of navigating through screen based...
