The aim will be to explore the affordances of combinations of media alongside responsiveness and come up with a number of examples which can be used as templates or design patterns for new narrative forms. |
| Collaborator Contribution | A set of short pieces of responsive object-based media experiences,which illustrate a series of design patterns for which can be used to inform future research and help teach new craft skills. Also new insights in to the ways in which audio and text can be combined to create new narrative structures. |
| Impact | Two short story experiences were produced for the BBC. |
