Transactive Episodes: Exploring Interaction, Memory and Narrative

Abstract

This practice-based doctoral research investigates various methods of human-computer tangible interactions and their relationships with interactive storytelling, which will lead to the construction of an interactive narrative model over a research-through-design process. The design process aims to inform designers and makers of novel ways of converting people's memories into playable stories that are accessible and engaging to general audiences. The outcome can also contribute to the discussion of the role of interactive technologies as a mediator between personal episodic memories and public collective memories.
