A RIN is a narrative that runs like a movie with a sequence of scenes that follow one after another. A user can stop the narrative, explore the environment associated with the current scene (or other scenes if desired), and then resume the narrative where it left off. The technique allows for the automatic and dynamic generation of RINs using very little input from a user—say, for example, a search query—whereupon the technique automatically generates a RIN. An author/user can guide the process of narrative creation by having portions of the creation process automatically performed by the computer-implemented technique and portions guided and assisted by one or more authors/users. | 05-12-2011 |
20110113316 | AUTHORING TOOLS FOR RICH INTERACTIVE NARRATIVES - A rich interactive narrative (RIN) authoring system and method for creating and generating RIN documents in a graphical and visual manner.
