Abstract

A nonlinear story is generated through the interactivity with users using the interactive storytelling system. In a play or movie, audiences can watch one scene at a time, and in order to watch next scene, they should wait for the end of current scene. In the real world, however, various events can simultaneously happen at different places, and even those events performed by characters may dramatically affect the flow of the story. This paper suggests Constraint Based narrative structure to create such story, known as "Simultaneous Story Arcs", and "Multi Viewpoint" to simultaneously lead the direction of the stories in each place.

인터랙티브 스토리텔링 시스템(Interactive Storytelling System) 상에서 다양한 이야기의 진행과 결말을 표현할 수 있는 비선형적인 이야기(nonlinear story)는 사용자와의 상호작용으로 생성된다. 또한 연극이나 영화에서 관객은 하나의 장면에서 진행되고 있는 이야기만을 볼 수 있고 다른 장면의 이야기를 보기 위해서는 현재 장면이 끝난 후 다른 장면의 이야기를 볼 수 있다. 그러나 현실에서는 여러 가지 사건들이 여러 장소에서 동시에 발생하고 게다가 특정 사건들은 다른 사건들에 영향을 미치기 때문에 전체적인 이야기의 흐름에 큰 영향을 줄 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 비선형 스토리의 생성을 위한 제약 조건 기반의 서술구조(Constraint Based Narrative Structure)를 소개하고 동시 진행 이야기(Simultaneous Story Arcs)의 제어를 위한 멀티뷰포인트(multi viewpoint)를 제안한다.
