IDtension - Highly Interactive Drama
نویسنده
چکیده
IDtension is an Interactive Drama project initiated 10 years ago (Szilas, 1999). It aims at providing long term solutions to the problem of combining narrativity and interactivity. IDtension has been demoed in 2002 (COSIGN) and 2006 (IUI, TIDSE). Our motivation to demo IDtension again is twofold: 1) IDtension has never been demoed in North America; 2) The newest version has been improved and aims to be the « final demo ». Far from perfect, this « final demo » will leave place to the development of a new narrative engine – let's call it IDtension 2 – to push further the frontiers of Interactive Drama. Note that although integration of IDtension in a real time 3D environment has been performed in 2005, this demo is text-based, in order to focus on the core issue of Interactive Drama.
