Story-Telling
The Story-Telling Workshop will engage you with mobile story-telling and localized communication concepts that are researched in the "City Tales" part of the IPCity project.
City Tales
City Tales is working towards establishing a digital layer over the urban tissue of a city that contains a story-telling environment based on participant’s input. The power of a community driven content creation approach has been shown in many Web 2.0 applications, such as encyclopaedia , social networking portals and geo-information . Our aim is to focus this power to the creation of content into the digital layer of an urban environment, supported with easy to use yet powerful tools for mixed reality content creation.
The Environment
"Naschmarkt" is a living market place in the heart of Vienna, providing the city with fruits, vegetables, all sorts of groceries ... and stories. Might these be real or fictious, the market place as a meeting and mixing point of people from all ages, interests, backgrounds, origins is a wonderful playground to create and experience stories.
TasksYou will be familiarized with the concepts of the City Tales approach, including the story-telling aspect, as well as the technical background, server-client re.
Based on pre-existing content and your imagination we will create a story environment and make up stories that happen in them with characters, roles, etc. Using multimedia you will enrich this environment with your story, finally test, play and evaluate with other participants.

- Please read the following document to understand the context, the ideas and actual status of the SecondCity system: Project Overview and Server Description!
- Preparatory task: If you worked trough the document, we would be curious to hear your ideas of how to use such an infrastructure - described as SecondCity server system - in future, assuming full broadband coverage and neat & tricky tracking methods to localize the mobile communication device of the future!?
