Abstract

This paper introduces the interactive installation of Babel framework, developed to support dynamic composition and visualization of user generated narrative elements. Different versions of the same story are contributed by multiple authors through a web platform, they are annotated with metadata and stored in a database. The users of the installation retrieve the contributed content, explore it and recompose it in real time, thus articulating a unique trajectory in the narrative space. The interaction occurs through an intuitive computer vision interface that detects the light of a torch manipulated by the user.
