Towards an Audio-Locative Mobile Application for Immersive Storytelling

摘要: We live in an age which digital media is omnipresent and augmented reality beginning to find its way into our everyday lives, GPS allows us determine position with meter precision the sensor capabilities of smartphones are increasing. All these technologies combination enable explore one oldest human art forms a new way: storytelling. The presented work aims at developing approaches that combine different elements audio playback, geolocation other allow creation immersive geolocated narratives within mobile application. Thus, narrative can be precisely adjusted specific spatial temporal context user. One main goals such would influence cognitive processing users. As visual perception location stays same while using app, it only auditory cognition causes subtle enhancement thus alteration could result very strong sense immersion. There many location-based applications on market. Most them intended for tourism form tour guide. Some those have been analyzed before own ideas how intertwine sound, space time application storytelling semi-linear structures including map. Possible features influenceability by, e.g., speed or approach direction user, sound movement over predetermined routes, etc. first prototype implemented some audiovisual presentations among others.
