Abstract

Since the early days of civilization, the way we tell and consume stories defines how do we make sense of the world. Every new technology has an impact on our narrative artifacts. Nowadays ubiquitous digital technologies allow us to structure and distribute our narratives in novel and unprecedented ways. This paper discusses the evolution of interactive storytelling brought about by the advent of mobile Interfaces. I will exemplify this shift reviewing a series of case studies highlighted from my own research path.

Keywords: transmedia storytelling; interactive narrative; locative media; location aware multimedia stories; context aware technologies; human computer interaction.
