چکیده
Human understanding of the physical world frequently derives from the narratives we construct about it. Analogously, we can incorporate narratives in virtual spaces to give visitors a sense of place and purpose. In this paper we describe two projects using interactive characters as a medium for story building and storytelling within and about the digital places they inhabit.

Its behavior is regulated by a biologically inspired architecture of emotion, allowing it to adapt to the user’s needs and feelings. In addition to giving an illusion of life, the guide emulates a real guide’s behavior by presenting stories based on the use...
متن کاملTales of Things The Internet of ‘Old’ Things: Collecting Stories of Objects, Places and Spaces
The design of digital memory technologies is arguably one of the grand challenges of Human-Computer Interaction research. Objects and places often mediate access to personal and collective memories and allow recollections of past experiences. Tales of Things is a tagging service that uses two-dimensional barcodes (QR Codes) and RFID tags to enable people to attach stories and memories to any ob...
