Interactive movie: A virtual world with narratives

Abstract

Interactive movies have emerged as a new type of media that implements interaction capabilities into movies. In interactive movies, people enter cyberspace and enjoy the development of a story by inter-acting with characters in the story. In this paper, we rst explain the concept of interactive movies and briefly describe the prototype system we have developed. We then describe the construction of a second sys-tem, which we are currently developing, as well as several improvements incorporated in it.
