StoryMotion: A collaborative recommendation tool for storytelling through photos

Abstract

In this paper, we present a proposal of a recommendation tool for creating collaborative image stories called Story-Motion. This system will allow users to put their images and photos together in a single story, performed in a semiautomatic way. Any users are free to continue the story as they want, though they can not change what has already been put into it. By doing so, StoryMotion gives its users freedom on the creation process at the same time as it guarantees the authorship of each participant in the story. This can lead to stories that comprehend scopes such as Education, Tourism and Politics. Throughout this paper, it will be described our motivations and theoretical foundation that led to projecting StoryMotion, how our prototype works, its major components and experimental evaluation. After presenting a brief overview of related works, we discuss about our research findings and future work.
