Abstract

The spatial properties of digital interactive multimedia are analysed and contrasted with those of pictures, and of narrative feature films and factual television. These media have developed distinctive spatial methods and questions arise concerning the transferability of such methods to other, interactive, forms. A taxonomy is proposed which reflects existing practice in digital interactive media and indicates promising lines of enquiry for the future.
