Abstract:
This study is based on interactive design theory, supplemented by the concept of communication. We propose a "Mobile Collaboration Digital Narrative Platform", through which, with the aid of technologies, a user can, depending on his or her location, download one’s favorite collaborative narrative content, and also have the ability to add, edit or record what is happening around; thus, linking the narrative content and the location. Through the function of “collaboration”, the content can be made more diverse and rich and the reader can better immerse him or herself in it. The platform also can work in offline mode. Currently, the preliminary design of the system has been completed, and tests in different situations will be conducted and user behaviors will be recorded and then analyzed. Quantitative and qualitative evaluation and analysis of interface design, operational processes, system functions, and collaboration narrative content of the output are in progress. We believe that this study will be an important application of mobile content.
