In this paper, I describe CitiTag, a research project aiming to explore the potential of spontaneous social behaviour and playful group interaction in public spaces through the use of mobile technologies. I discuss briefly the idea and motivating themes, the design of CitiTag, a wireless location based multiplayer game and findings from two user studies.

Narrative Hypermedia is...


Narrative Hypermedia
Narrative is concerned fundamentally with coherence, for instance, whether that be a fiction, an historical account or an argument, none of which 'make sense' unless they are put together in a coherent manner.

Hypermedia is the combination of hypertext for linking and structuring multimedia information.

Narrative Hypermedia is therefore concerned with how all of the above narrative forms, plus the many other diverse forms of discourse possible on the Web, can be effectively designed to communicate coherent conceptual structures, drawing inspiration from theories in narratology, semiotics, psycholinguistics and film.
