INDCOR White Paper 2: Interactive Narrative Design for Representing Complexity

This white paper was written by the members of the Work Group focusing on design practices of the COST Action 18230 - Interactive Narrative Design for Complexity Representation (INDCOR, WG1). It presents an overview of Interactive Digital Narratives (IDNs) design for complexity representations through IDN workflows and methodologies, IDN authoring tools and applications. It provides definitions of the central elements of the IDN alongside its best practices, designs and methods. Finally, it describes complexity as a feature of IDN, with related examples. In summary, this white paper serves as an orienting map for the field of IDN design, understanding where we are in the contemporary panorama while charting the grounds of their promising futures.Comment: 11 pages, This whitepaper was produced by members of the COST Action 18230 - Interactive Narrative Design for Complexity Representation (INDCOR - https://indcor.eu

Narrative's Impact on Quality of Experience in Digital Storytelling

Så lenge der har vore menneske har historieforteljing også vore til. Måtane vi fortel historier på har utvikla seg saman med teknologiske framsteg. Dette har ført til tilsynekomsten til digital historieforteljing, som legg vekt på multimodalitet så vel som interaksjon. Blant dei nylege framstega i digital historieforteljing vil denne rapporten fokusere på lokasjonsbaserte prosjekt og sensorbaserte narrativ. Dette prosjektet ser på korleis narrativet påverkar opplevd kvalitet til ein brukar i ei digital historie. Dette er gjort ved å lage og implementere ei lokasjonsdriven digital historie basert på trollhistorier frå Trollheimen i Noreg. Narrativet presenterast til brukaren gjennom ein utvida røyndom-applikasjon laga i Unity på ei mobil eining. Narrativet er drive av lokasjon som skaffast ved å spore brukarens rørsler med OptiTrack-systemet. Dette narrativsystemet har så blitt evaluert av 30 personar som har delteke i ei subjektiv evaluering. Dette har blitt gjort med to forskjellige eksperimentoppsett: eit som er narrativbasert, og eit som er instruksjonsbasert. Resultata viser at narrativoppsettet resulterer i ei rikare, meir levande og meir engasjerande erfaring. Denne effekten minkar viss ein eksponerast for begge oppsetta. Når det gjeld vanskegrad viste vi at for deltakarane som gjorde begge oppsetta, så viste instruksjonsoppsettet seg å vere signifikant enklare enn den narrativdrivne tilnærminga

Narrative’s Impact on Quality of Experience in Digital Storytelling

Our ways of telling stories have evolved along with advances in technology. This has led to the emergence of digital storytelling. This project explores narrative influences on Quality of Experience of users in digital stories. This is done by creating and implementing a location driven digital story presented to the user by an augmented reality application on a mobile device. This narrative system has been evaluated by 30 people who have participated in a subjective evaluation. The results show that the narrative setup results in a richer, livelier and more engaging experience
