Design framework for interactive story systems

Objective

The DEFACTO project seeks to create a computational framework for the design of interactive story systems (ISS). ISS are a new, computer-based art form, providing experiences that are both meaningfully interactive and good stories. The result of DEFACTO will be the development of a design framework for creating a new, widely accessible generation of ISS, that strike a balance between interactivity and coherence. We expect this framework to form the basis for designing a multitude of innovative products that will give a significant advantage to the European cultural industry.

During the first phase of the project, the National Technical University of Athens will develop story-weaving techniques for ISS. The University of Edinburgh will develop flexible planning techniques for dynamic natural language generation in these systems. Finally, Media Communications will develop dynamic multimedia interface management techniques for ISS in a World Wide Web environment. The result of the first phase will be the creation and management of a small interactive travel story inspired by the Greek mythology.

The second phase will broaden the capabilities of these modules and integrate them into a computational framework for ISS design.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.
