MEMORYSCAPE

Memoryscape was a research project developed at the Media Convergence Lab at UCF. We wanted to see how fully a theatrical set with embedded media could communicate an interactive story. The set included hidden projection surfaces, hypersonic sound, embedded speakers, and a lighting system. If we had continued with the project, a live actor would have controlled the media devices in real time, in order to create unique, interactive ghost stories for each participant.

EROGO

I created a short interactive fiction during my undergraduate studies at UCF. Erogo was a fantasy story created with Photoshop collages and Flash. This was my first project in Flash and I taught myself how to use the program in order to create simple interactions.

COFFIN PROJECT

For my human computer interaction class, I created plans for an interactive art exhibit. In the Coffin Project, I planned to build a coffin sized box with a rear projection screen lid and embedded speakers. The participant would lie down in the coffin, and wear a device that monitors breathing.

 


THESIS

DEVELOPING PARTICIPANT INVESTMENT FOR DIGITAL INTERACTIVE STORIES

My undergraduate thesis focused on translating strategies for live interactive storytelling into principles that can be applied to digital narratives. My goal was to write stories that can adapt and change based on user input, while still having a satisfying dramatic arc.
