A conceptual framework for creating interactive narratives

Abstract

The article presents an interactive narrative framework for the domain of sinti-Ijime education based on a type of intelligent agent called Story Director. A story director whilst preserves the authorial intent in the virtual world at the same time delivers good user experience. It is capable of adapting the virtual environment to coerce a participant's experience to conform to a set of provided properties. The framework will be used to develop 3D real time virtual learning environment to prevent aggressive behaviour of school children by inducing affective responses against bullying situations, and thus changing children's behaviour and cognition. As such, issues of narrative management are discussed and a generic narrative module is outlined.
