Authoring tool creation for interactive digital narratives application
Summary:
For the purposes of this thesis a web application was designed and developed,
that had the goal to be used as an authoring tool of the interactive
storytelling activity Narrator, that is part of the European research program
CHESS. The main objective is to offer the users an easy to use and user
friendly interface for the authoring of stories. Initially, the focus was the
identification of the goals and the objectives of the application. Then, online
research was conducted on similar applications. The next step was to determine
the needs of the users and the specifications of the application. After
defining the previous, the design process started, where low fidelity
prototypes were produced. When the designs reached a good level of
satisfaction, this was also the point the implementation started. After having
completed the implementation of the application, an evaluation has taken place
by people that belong to the defined user groups and the results were recorded.
Finally, there was a review on the conclusions that arose from the whole
procedure and on the future extensions that could be included in the
application to a possible continuation of its development.
