Objectives
Art- E- fact develops a generic platform for interactive storytelling in Mixed Reality.
Main Results
In art-E-fact, a unique form of interdisciplinary team play between artists and software developers leads to a generic platform, as well as to a Mixed Reality art piece that serves for evaluation and exploitation. Imaging methods for data acquisition on art paintings will be used to generate knowledge bases connected to the system, and authoring interfaces will be built. Also, evaluation results have to be achieved on the interdisciplinary process itself, as well as on exploitation possibilities. From beginning on, artists will be involved, cooperating in the definition of the system and in generating digital or non-digital prototypes prior to the actual creative production phase. After technical specifications, technical developments include: Generation of the art knowledge database. Ontology generation and access facilities to the knowledge base for artists/authors of interactive storytelling. Development of a Mixed Reality platform - in detail, integration of software components with well-defined interfaces, such as image import filters, device and media management, a VR system with multi-modal anthropomorphic interaction means, and a storytelling engine with an avatar animation platform. Development of authoring interfaces for interactive storytelling, making use of an ontology concept, image interaction editors, story models and autonomous character models, and dialogue templates with a rule editor. Then, the actual creation process for designers with the platform includes scriptwriting, 3D modelling and animation, physical props building, integration and programming, and building of exhibitions on-site. Finally, big emphasis is on evaluation and dissemination measures, including: workshops and courses to communicate the work, usability tests, exhibitions, experience reports on interdisciplinary achievements, further exploitation plans and business model.
