Story Technology

Story Technology leverages data, novel interfaces and the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning to advance the way stories are authored, analyzed and experienced.

 

Abstract:

Story Technology leverages data, novel interfaces and the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning to advance how stories are authored, analyzed and experienced. Story Analysis technologies translate a story into interpretable data for analyzing and optimizing the process of story generation. Story Authoring technologies support the author with computer-assisted authoring and previsualization tools. Story Experience technologies utilize computational intelligence to reason about narrative progression and model user experience to deliver new forms of storytelling, such as nonlinear stories or virtual and augmented reality experiences.
