The Narrative Premise
نویسنده
چکیده
We have designed a novel interface for interactive storytelling, where users manipulate physical objects to access various portions of a narrative. The story is designed so that the physical artefacts play meaningful parts in the narrative, thus blurring the line between story and interface. In informal tests and demonstrations users found the interaction easy to understand, thus indicating this could be a promising way to increase user involvement in interactive narrative.

Neural Interaction between Logical Reasoning and Pragmatic Processing in Narrative Discourse
Logical connectives (e.g., or, if, and not) are central to everyday conversation, and the inferences they generate are made with little effort in pragmatically sound situations. In contrast, the neural substrates of logical inference-making have been studied exclusively in abstract tasks where pragmatic concerns are minimal. Here, we used fMRI in an innovative design that employed narratives to...

Constructing narrative coherence of stories that contain virtual ...
متن کاملA Duet for one☆
This paper considers communication in terms of inference about the behaviour of others (and our own behaviour). It is based on the premise that our sensations are largely generated by other agents like ourselves. This means, we are trying to infer how our sensations are caused by others, while they are trying to infer our behaviour: for example, in the dialogue between two speakers. We suggest ...
متن کاملNarrative Tradition In Early Greek Oral Poetry And Vase-Painting
Archaic Athenian vase-painting of the sixth century BC exhibits visual narrative phenomena that are very similar to the verbal narrative patterns of traditional, orally composed poetry: in the poetry these are the familiar formulaic phrases and themes analyzed by Milman Parry and the ensuing train of oral theorists; in the art they take the form of repetitious iconography and recurrent composit...
