I thought I&#8217;d share the abstract here. Now, of course, I have to write the paper.<\/p>\n<p><b>Abstract<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The creators of digital narratives, in the form of computer games, are experimenting with form as they explore story telling in virtual spaces. Different approaches to so-called \u201copen world\u201d games all succeed in creating emotionally engaging diageses, three-dimensional virtual story spaces around which the player can wander with apparent freedom.<\/p>\n<p>Cultural heritage institutions, including museums, built heritage, historic and ancient sites and heritage landscapes, have long been telling stories in three dimensions. Where it\u2019s done well, visitors to those sites can immerse themselves in stories that they co-author as they make choices\u00a0 about what to look at first and subsequently and how deeply they want to explore individual points of interest.<\/p>\n<p>Digital content creators have long had the opportunity to learn from heritage interpretation (<a title=\"Carliner, S., 2001.  \u201cLessons Learned from Museum Exhibit Design\u201d in Technical Communication, 48, 1, 66-81\" href=\"http:\/\/core.ecu.edu\/engl\/henzeb\/7701s06\/ftp\/ethnog2.pdf\">Carliner 2001<\/a>, <a title=\"Sylvester, T., 2013.

Using case studies of open world games such as <i>Red Dead Redemption<\/i>, <i>Dear Esther<\/i>, and <i>Skyrim<\/i>, the presentation identifies different narrative techniques, structures and emotional triggers and seeks comparators in a number of UK cultural heritage sites. Highlighting the relative strengths of the digital and real-world media, the presentation discusses how cultural heritage sites might adapt some of the techniques of game narrative, including structure and music, to interpretive use. The results of an evaluation of a digital ludic interpretation case study, <i>Ghosts in the Garden<\/i>, at the Holburne Museum, Bath, illustrate the discussion.<\/p>\n<p>The presentation concludes by setting out the plan for further research, including an exploration of adaptive narrative and the narrative braid (<a title=\"Hargood, C., Jewell, M.

When, one evening, a few of us said \u201cwe could make a business out of this\u201d I left my job at the bank to go to college, first to get an Art Foundation and then to Manchester Polytechnic to join an innovative course called Design for Communications Media. I specialised in Educational Media Design, with the intention of applying what I was learning to cultural heritage. During my vacations and upon graduation I worked for the nascent company my friends had started, Past Pleasures, creating immersive living history festivals at Lancaster and Tunbridge Wells, as well as projects including: an exhibition for the centenary of the Commonwealth Institute; a design for a metafictional Sherlock Holmes exhibition in Croydon; and, a game that combined real-time investment advice from 300 year-old characters at the Bank of England Museum with a digital simulation, tracking the players\u2019 investment portfolio from the founding of the bank to its tercentenary. In 1996 I helped found JMD&amp;Co, and for two years I also lectured on Heritage Tourism and Visitor Management and Interpretation modules for a Portsmouth University validated HND\\\/degree course at Farnborough Technical College. Subsequently, I enrolled in the new Distance Learning delivered Masters\u2019 degree in Museum Studies at Leicester University, where I became interested in the social use of space, particularly Bill Hillier\u2019s \u201cspace syntax,\u201d and the increasing futility of cultural heritage sites trying to tell doggedly linear stories in three-dimensional spaces. Although my dissertation explored models for mapping interpretation, and particularly learning styles, onto spaces, a satisfactory reconciliation of linear story and three-dimensional space eluded me. After graduation, I decided my time in the \u201csmall business\u201d end of cultural heritage was over for a while, and I left JMD&amp;Co to join a cultural institution, the National Trust, as a Regional Community, Learning and Volunteering Manager.

However, one of the innovations which I am most proud of is the National Trust\u2019s virtual tours. Working with a small company, and a range of disabled stakeholders, we created a touch-screen based human computer interface that could also, if required, be controlled with other input devices, and allowed visitors with a variety of disabilities to fully enjoy the virtual tour.
