Storytelling and conversation to improve the fun factor in software applications.
In: Funology : from usability to enjoyment

Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)
In this chapter, we describe the general structure of an approach to the design of enjoyable storytelling applications and describe its usage with a project example. First, we give an overview (with a view on related work) of our two level approach, using storytelling (as one level) and conversation (as a second level) to provide a dramatic experience for the user. The two levels are separate modules, usable at their own. Used together, they build the basis of dramatic conversational interactions between users and virtual characters - the story level to provide ageneral dramatic structure, the conversation level to provide a human-like interaction metaphor to the story. Then we give a project example: We used the approach to prototype a ghost story within an augmented reality environment on the caste of Heidelberg, Germany. The example explains how the two levels, the storytelling level (to automatically provide a dramatic structure), and the conversation level (to let the user experience the several sub-pieces of a interactive drama in a conversational way) are used to involve the user into a dramatic story. The story itself is played by virtual characters (ghosts). These characters interact with the user in a conversational way (by talking, gesturing, mimics) and play a story, interactive alterable by the user. As our basic goal is fun for the user, we start with an explanation of our two level approach and its relation to user's enjoyment.
