“…Various AI approaches have been suggested, and some reviews are presented in [Cavazza, 2009], [Ursu, 2007] and [Riedl, 2006]. These techniques are predominantly aimed at generating narrative behaviour, leading to less structured and more emergent narratives [Ibanez, 2009], rather than applying pre-authored narrative guidelines to the automatic compilation particular narratives, which is our approach. Furthermore, the main bulk of interactive storytelling has been applied to generated not recorded content.…”

This paper introduces an evaluated approach to the automatic generation of video narratives from user generated content gathered in a shared repository. In the context of social events, end-users record video material with their personal cameras and upload the content to a common repository. Video narrative techniques, implemented using Narrative Structure Language (NSL) and ShapeShifting Media [Ursu, 2008a], are employed to automatically generate movies recounting the event. Such movies are personalized according to the preferences expressed by each individual end-user, for each individual viewing. This paper describes our prototype narrative system, MyVideos, deployed as a web application, and reports on its evaluation for one specific use case: assembling stories of a school concert by parents, relatives and friends. The evaluations carried out through focus groups, interviews and field trials, in the Netherlands and UK, provided validating results and further insights into this approach.

“…A main thread of investigation has so far focused on generated content, often involving intelligent animated characters (e.g., Ibanez et al [35]). Not to forget the use of interactive video as a basis for scenario-driven interactive tours, with additional mini-games for elaborating on specific topics or tasks that arise during exploration process [2].…”

Creating compelling multimedia productions is a nontrivial task. This is as true for creating professional content as it is for nonprofessional editors. During the past 20 years, authoring networked content has been a part of the research agenda of the multimedia community. Unfortunately, authoring has been seen as an initial enterprise that occurs before ‘real’ content processing takes place. This limits the options open to authors and to viewers of rich multimedia content for creating and receiving focused, highly personal media presentations. This article reflects on the history of multimedia authoring. We focus on the particular task of supporting socially-aware multimedia , in which the relationships within particular social groups among authors and viewers can be exploited to create highly personal media experiences. We provide an overview of the requirements and characteristics of socially-aware multimedia authoring within the context of exploiting community content. We continue with a short historical perspective on authoring support for these types of situations. We then present an overview of a current system for supporting socially-aware multimedia authoring within the community content. We conclude with a discussion of the issues that we feel can provide a fruitful basis for future multimedia authoring support. We argue that providing support for socially-aware multimedia authoring can have a profound impact on the nature and architecture of the entire multimedia information processing pipeline.

“…Regarding consistency in virtual agents, some interesting results where found when evaluating the performance of a virtual storyteller in Ibá ñ ez et al (2008a). The authors had designed an architecture for the construction of virtual guides who tell stories about the worlds they inhabit from their own perspective (Ibá ñ ez et al, 2003).…”

“…The authors had designed an architecture for the construction of virtual guides who tell stories about the worlds they inhabit from their own perspective (Ibá ñ ez et al, 2003). They then researched the implications of showing the storyteller's perspective when telling stories in virtual environments (Ibá ñ ez et al, 2008a). More concretely, they carried out a study with users in order to test whether the users consider it significantly better or worse (in terms of several aspects related to believability) adding the virtual guide perspective to the guide discourse.…”
