Abstract
We describe the several possibilities of using storytelling in an Augmented
Reality Environment to support the collaborative experience of the users
in those environments.
We start with the motivation of a lack of storytelling and experience
in CVEs. As an implication of the need for such experiences, we give a
general definition of Interactive Storytelling and offer some insights
on the difference between Interactive Stories and Games.
We introduce our approach to Interactive Storytelling as a combination
of Audience Participatory Theatre and a morphological approach to storytelling
in Augmented Reality Environments.
An overview of the technical development of the approach is followed
by a project description, using the stated approach to verify the useful
application of the approach in regard to collaborative user experiences.
