Application scenarios and system support for collaborative personalized mobile storytelling

Abstract

Mobile networks combined with positioning techniques provide a new channel for a radically new form of cinematographic narratives that are navigable in space. Stories are received when navigating in the real world, using contextual information about the state or characteristics of the user. Traditional narratives, in its diverse forms, are a good way to convey knowledge about the real world. The ability to have constant access through mobile devices allows a new way of doing cinematographic narratives that can enhance in a significant way the viewers experience. There are many areas of application, ranging from tourism to education. It also allows integrating different target audiences, thus contributing to electronic literacy. This project has the goal of defining an architecture and to implement a system for interactive cinematographic narratives in mobile devices.
