Editor's Notes
- Anything unclear? Please interrupt me (gently). We have the time to discuss and elaborate on noteworthy concepts.
- Cognitive Artificial Intelligence @ UU Master thesis on Code Red: Triage PhD in Human Media Interaction @ UT
- Who here played Mass Effect series? Like it? Interactive story OK?
- Authoring interactive narratives: hard… Cf. ME example.
- Branching narrative CYAO Larp Technology-supported systems

- Super Mario Bros.: typical example In the first level, all the basic ingredients for the complete gameplay are introduced An enemy, a power up, ? blocks, brick blocks, multiple levels and a pipe All of these things cry for interaction and give feedback on what happens if you interact with them Thus, within the first minute of playing, you have already learned the basics
- Domain, cognitive models (Leary’s Rose, ref to Merijn), learning models Emphasis on learning objectives and mechanics to support those Challenge: not procedural, subtle, conceptual Show video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ws3XDiZk50M

- Content: attitude of player Timing: every other turn Evaluation: conceptual knowledge + SJT Results: hmmm… Ceiling effect?
- Slight modifications: longer game, multiple scenarios, character’s personality changes over time Content: average player behavior during previous scenario Timing: start of new scenario Long-term interaction! Evaluation: just SJTs, compared to police instructor knowledge Results: OK. No real improvement in scores, but slightly improved behavioural involvement
- VR
- Create artefacts by thinking about their meaning in context, and outside their virtual worlds, such as stories or gaming aspects (on a meta-level). Reasoning: explainable AI Content generation: editors, tutoring systems for assistance Integration: lots & lots of cool tech, but interdisciplinarity is key to make things viable for real-world use
