Abstract

Broadband wireless networks coupled with handheld computers and appropriate sensing technologies provide a channel for the delivery of mobile cinema. Mobile cinema changes the consumer experience of motion picture stories in that discrete cinematic sequences are delivered based on the consumer's location and the a story-real-time metric. The M-Studio authoring tool helps mobile story creators design, simulate and adjust mobile narratives. The tool provides the author with a graphical manipulation interface for linking content with a specific geographical space and a simulator allows the author to evaluate and iterate the content for continuity of story threads as they may be presented. The tool directly generates the code that is required for the server to deliver the cinematic sequences appropriately. This tool is discussed in the context of the two mobile narratives that have been created.
