Tri-Story as "intuitive cinema" interactive storytelling based on physical action for multi-screen

ABSTRACT

This paper proposes "intuitive cinema" -- a new form of interactive storytelling, which emphasizes user motive and viewpoints, and implements its cinematic expressions based on immersive quality and audience's viewing methods. We use the quality of physical action that is made possible through a multi-screen system, and use it to approach a novel interactive storytelling method. From this concept comes "intuitive cinema", that allows its viewers freedom to watch the movies from their personal viewpoints. The content consists of 3 channels of live-action motion pictures, and the system applies interactive displays to realize the content "Tri-Story" based on the concept of intuitive cinema.
