Abstract

We present a system supporting the re-use and re-purposing of captured video media for an interactive storytelling performance by a human storyteller. The system's components are based on a philosophy of non-verbal embodied interaction for both media capture and media re-use. The system uses non-verbal interaction sensors during media capture and an augmented reality tangible interface supporting spatial and motion communications affordances during storytelling. We discuss the requirements for an interactive storytelling tool – media retrieval, media re-purposing, and expressive media control – and show how our system design and implementation support these requirements for interactive storytelling. Interface evaluation shows that our system enables communication for storytelling, in particular non-verbal spatial communication. We conclude with a discussion of how our storytelling system is being further developed.
