Ya'll,
My main interest is immersive, interactive, computer-mediated storytelling
(Virtual Drama)
A toddler step toward truly interactive storytelling is with the online
game "Magestic", from Electronic Arts..
Article from MIT's Technology Review:
I was involved in a couple of projects in '96 and '97 that laid out many of
the same story possibilities. (E.g. setting up dummy companies, dummy character
trails online, complete profiles of characters to allow for "natural responses"
etc. etc.)
What Electronic Arts has added is a natural language interpreter (for text)
that is apparently quite sophisticated.
Demo at http://www.majestic.ea.com/
By the way, it would be interesting to involve this storyworld game in the
Fill-A-RAT Conference for June
Cheers,
Cat Hebert
