Abstract

In this paper we discuss a case study for which we applied a customized augmented reality display -the Virtual Showcase- as a new platform for digital storytelling. Different storytelling components are identified and examples for their specific realization are explained. Our case study focuses on communicating scientific information to a novice audience in a museum context. Addressing first user feedback, we describe our current efforts of improvement.
