This paper presents a new sketch-based interaction method for planning-based interactive storytelling systems, which uses a deep learning model based on a Convolutional Neural Network to recognize digital hand-drawn sketches. The evolution of technology and the advent of interactive narratives brings the possibility of exploring drawings and storytelling in new ways. This initial step towards understanding the design space of interactive comics can inform the design of creation tools and experiences for interactive storytelling.ĭrawings have been used for thousands of years as a visual complement to oral and written storytelling. We present examples of interactive comics in a gallery.
#SIMPLE COMIC LAYOUT MANY PANELS PROFESSIONAL#
To assess the viability of our authoring process, we recruited six professional illustrators, designers and data comics enthusiasts and asked them to craft an interactive comic, allowing us to understand authoring workflow and potential of our approach. We propose a lightweight specification language, COMICSCRIPT, for designers to add such interactivity to static comics. The goals and operations include adding and removing panels into pre-defined layouts to support branching, change of perspective, or access to detail-on-demand, as well as providing and modifying data, and interacting with data representation, to support personalization and reader-defined data focus. This paper introduces a set of operations tailored to support data comics narrative goals that go beyond the traditional linear, immutable storyline curated by a story author.
While a powerful static storytelling medium that works well on paper support, adding interactivity to data comics can enable non-linear storytelling, personalization, levels of details, explanations, and potentially enriched user experiences. Data comics are an effective and versatile means for visual communication, leveraging the power of sequential narration and combined textual and visual content, while providing an overview of the storyline through panels assembled in expressive layouts.
