  • The Coming Cyberbard

    I recently copied an excerpt written by Janet M. Murray from her book Hamlet on the Holodeck. The article is called The Coming Cyberbard.

    This is the follow up portion to the text I referenced, The Shaping Role of the Human Storyteller. In this excerpt, Murray describes a possible model upon which such an immersive theme-world experience might be implemented. The concept is based on Minsky’s theory of Frames. There will be more to come on the implementation of frames to come. Upon the implementation of this model onto an immersive theme-world engine, a solid structure to generate infinite possible theme-worlds is provided.

    I am currently looking into this model not only as a foundation for Grammar Based Universes but as an authoring platforms for rewarding, narrative experiences.

  • The Shaping Role of the Human Storyteller

    I recently copied an excerpt written by Janet M. Murray from her book Hamlet on the Holodeck. The article is called The shaping Role of the Human Storyteller.

    Murray does an excellent job in describing what an immersive, interactive experience might look and feel but within the context of a specific story-world. What really is attention getting is that she departs from the experience as being game-like and focuses on components such as “moral physics” as being the glue which holds the world together and the interactor, (the participant), t o the immersive experience.

    I strongly encourage the audience to read the article to understand the difference between thematic immersive experiences, interactive stories and games. The IMyTH experience is designed to be a prototype very similar of Murray’s mechanic.
