Abstract
The use of interactive storytelling by museums and heritage sites lends to the creation of experiences that support visitors in engaging emotionally with the objects on display. Finding ways to connect to the cultural content is even more important for visitors of archaeological sites due to the often fragmentary nature of the exhibits, which can leave them wondering what was once there and how it relates to them. In this paper, we describe the creation of a prototype mobile storytelling experience that attempts to explore a more emotive kind of storytelling in cultural contexts. The prototype was evaluated in a preliminary study that took place at the archaeological site of the Ancient Agora of Athens. The observations provide insights for the design of future iterations of such emotive storytelling experiences.
期刊介绍：
From the outset, the aim was to initiate an open and continuous exchange of information among different countries, thus prompting the creation of an international Scientific Committee. Representatives of the major Italian and foreign institutes interested in archaeological computing agreed to become members. A qualified Editorial board also assures a continuous flow of information and a profitable exchange of data. The journal covers three distinct parts. The first considers methodological approaches: it collects articles concerning theoretical aspects of archaeological computing as well as reports on programmes conducted by dedicated international institutions. The main section contains articles on various computer applications, such as databases, Geographical Information Systems, quantitative methods, expert systems, computer graphics, image processing, multimedia and web tools. A section is also dedicated to the automatic processing of documentary sources. The third aspect of the journal is characterised by book reviews and bibliographic news, with the aim to provide readers with an up-to-date source of documentation. Special thematic issues and Conference Proceedings have also been included.
