Story ARtist

Most content creation applications currently in use are conventional PC applications with visualisation on a 2D screen and indirect interaction, e.g. through mouse and keyboard. Augmented Reality (AR) is a medium that can provide actual 3D visualisation and more hands-on interaction for these applications, due to its technology adding virtual elements to a real-world environment. We explored how AR can be used for story authoring, a specific type of content creation, and investigated how both types of existing AR interfaces, tangible and touch-less, can be combined in a useful way in that context [1]. The Story ARtist application was developed to evaluate the designed interactions and AR visualisation for story authoring. It features a tabletop environment to dynamically visualise the story authoring elements, augmented by the 3D space that AR provides. Story authoring is kept simple, with a linear plot point structure focused on core story elements like actions, characters and objects.
