This article describes an environment based on the user's physical location to tell interactive stories on mobile devices. First, the technology to physically locate the user is presented. Thence the project, called MPISTE, is put into context with related projects. The paper continues with the description of the project and its design as part of a project to develop an affective virtual guide. The work described herein consists of two parts. The first one is the client, which was developed (using J2ME) for Smart-phones. The client is connected via bluetooth to devices such as RFID and GPS for locating the user. The second one is the server (webserver), which receives requests from the former and these are answered via servlets, which relay petitions to a relational database. The communication protocol used to communicate the mobile phone with the server is EDGE/3GSM.Finally, an ongoing application is presented: museum guidance for the severely motor-impaired. MPISTE is mounted on a robotic wheelchair which guides the user among the museum's rooms while providing location-aware interactive audio stories.

This paper is dedicated to the idea of studying in virtual worlds and discusses how virtual storytelling technology (VST) can provide an educational process. We try to answer the question -is it possible to substitute a real learning environment with a fully immersive 3D virtual space? And if so, what role should a virtual teacher play and what skills should he have? We describe several advantages that virtual environment (VE) has as compared to an ordinary classroom. It enables children to explore a phenomenon involved and gives them a strong incentive to study. Further, in VE we can transfer a lesson to inaccessible places and carry out demonstrations and experiments that are unrealizable on Earth. We consider the relationship between VST and game-like environments. We present some particular educational applications developed at our institute on the basis of Avango VR-system. Finally, we discuss the future of educational virtual environments and virtual storytelling.

“…There are story-telling agents (Ibanez, Aylett, & Ruiz-Rodarte, 2003) and virtual augmented characters who re-enact dramatic events (Papagiannakis & Magnenat-Thalmann, 2007). In other examples agents are employed to create a sense of inhabitation and enact crowd simulations (Bogdanovych et al, 2009;C.-K. Lim et al, 2013;Sequeira et al, 2014;Sequeira & Morgado, 2013).…”
