“…Although more game-like in nature, the popularity of these types of games shows the potential of crossing fictional story plots with real world interactions. Our study is more narrative rather than game-focused, and aligns more closely with fictional location-based storytelling, such as Corridor (Hansen et al, 2012) and Who Killed Hanne Holmgaard? (Paay et al, 2008).…”

“…It is also difficult to compose routes that can accommodate a plot structure and is filled with visual intrigue relevant to the story. Hansen (2012) suggested that the "real (possibly responsive) urban environment becomes the scenography" for narrative experiences. In this paper, we propose the use of pervasive displays as a way to create a responsive environment that contributes to the scenography for location-based story experiences.…”

This paper investigates the use of pervasive displays for location-based storytelling. It proposes the integration of such displays with fictional location-based story experiences as a way of connecting the story with the physical environment in which the story unfolds. The study in presented in this paper investigates techniques for interacting with pervasive displays as part of a location-based story prototype. The study results suggest that pervasive displays affect the engagement with the story and locations, the flow and pace of the story, and the general comprehension of the story content. Based on the findings, we suggest a set of guidelines for integrating pervasive displays with location-based stories.

“…Pervasive technologies have also been used in cultural heritage projects like Mobile Bristol where GPS technology is used to let people experience the 1831 riot through sound while moving around at Queen Square where the riot took place (Reid et al, 2005). In Mobile Urban Drama the user is the main character in a play where actors' voices appear in the mobile phone headset linked to the physical urban setting as the stage of the drama (Hansen et al, 2012).…”

This article presents the interactive sound installation Ekkomaten, a machine originally designed to let people explore an 18th century soundscape as part of a historical festival in Aarhus, Denmark. We present the design of the installation focusing on three core concerns when designing interactive listening situations; the physical interface, the site-specific soundscape and the affectively engaging listening experience. We then provide a detailed video analysis of the richness of use of the installation, focusing on the interaction and ways of listening facilitated by the setup. Based on this, we highlight the ways in which Ekkomaten has provided an interactive listening situation engaging people affectively and intellectually both in the exploration of sonified stories about the 18th century as well as of the installation in itself as an interactive machine for listening. Further, we reflect on important insights when designing interactive listening situations, critically reflect on the data and evaluation and outline a future experiment with the Ekkomaten infrastructure.

In this paper, we present an approach to create location-aware experiences. We use the concept of separation of concerns to represent the content layer and the location layer. This separation allows reusing the layers independently one of each other. The focus of this paper is to provide an end-user tool to create location-aware applications in-situ. By using our tool, the location-aware experiences can be defined in both indoor and outdoor spaces. We present an example of how our tool is used and we describe some discussion points that have occurred to us while defining a tool with these characteristics.
