Every Object Tells a Story: Physical Interfaces for Digital Storytelling

We have designed a novel interface for interactive storytelling,
where users manipulate physical objects to access various
portions of a narrative. The story is designed so that the
physical artefacts play meaningful parts in the narrative,
thus blurring the line between story and interface. In informal
tests and demonstrations users found the interaction
easy to understand, thus indicating this could be a promising
way to increase user involvement in interactive narrative.
