Abstract

We have developed an interactive storytelling system that aims to help us "recreate" our conscious selves by calling on Buddhist principles, Asian philosophy, and traditional Japanese culture through the inspirational media of ink painting, kimono and haiku. "Recreating ourselves" means the process of making the consciousness of our 'daily self' meet that of our 'hidden self'. through stimulation of activity deep within us. Ultimately, this may meld our consciousness and unconsciousness in complete harmony. It is difficult to achieve this through traditional logic-based interactions. Our system is a new approach to reaching this goal by incorporating traditional media and methods in an interactive computer system.
