With digital storytelling, there are new, interactive, immersive ways to share stories. Here are a few cool examples:
StoryNexus: Access hundreds of interactive worlds, from science fiction to romance to historical adventure. You can choose how the story flows, and there are also options for creators.
The Cornwall a-book: An Augmented Travel Guide Using Next Generation Paper: A paper about reading through “an augmented book (‘a-book’) with printed hotlinks than can be viewed on a nearby smartphone or other device. Two experimental versions of an augmented guide to Cornwall are shown using either optically recognised pages or embedded electronics making the book sensitive to light and touch. We refer to these as second generation (2G) and third generation (3G) paper respectively. A common architectural framework, authoring workflow and interaction model is used for both technologies, enabling the creation of two future generations of augmented books with interactive features and content. In the travel domain we use these features creatively to illustrate the printed book with local multimedia and updatable web media, to point to the printed pages from the digital content, and to record personal and web media into the book.”
Outriders Network Database: “A knowledge-sharing platform that features 860+ real-life examples of interactive storytelling and data journalism.”
Beyond the Story: “Immersive 3D storytelling for children’s stories, TV & film storybooks, traditional print.”
