EIST - Enabling Interactive StoryTelling

EIST -启用交互式讲故事-将开发一个框架和工具，让用户轻松设计沉浸式（AR/VR）媒体，通过分支叙事或故事包含多个路径。没有分支叙事的VR材料，其中视图是被动的，对大多数人的吸引力有限。我们将开发一个易于使用的UI，以便用户可以编辑故事的不同场景以及整体结构。EIST将允许混合360和CG镜头以及光场捕获和处理特定的媒体类型，如事件触发器。我们将开发一个开放格式的基于节点的框架来描述这种分支故事，并处理到各种游戏引擎的导出，以便将沉浸式故事与WebVR一起沿着到一系列目标平台。该产品将围绕各个行业（如汽车，教育，能源，文化，设计，建筑）以及创意媒体行业的需求进行设计。因此，它还将为目前希望使用AR或VR来提高生产力或生成新商业模式的所有行业提供急需的工具集和框架。该提案将降低内容创建者的进入门槛，使这项技术能够轻松用于从员工培训到全新用户体验的丰富互动场景。

EIST - Enabling Interactive StoryTelling - will develop a framework and tools to allow users to easily design immersive (AR/VR) media that encompass multiple paths via a branching narrative or story. VR material without branching narrative, where the view is passive has limited appeal to most people. We will develop an easy-to-use UI so that users can edit different scenes of a story as well as the overall structure. EIST will allow mixing of both 360 and CG footage as well as lightfield capture and handle specific media types such as event triggers. We will develop an open-format node-based framework to describe such branching stories as well as handling the export to various game engines to allow delivery of the immersive story to a range of target platforms along with WebVR. The product will be designed around the needs of various sectors (such as automotive, education, energy, cultural, design, construction) as well as the creative media sector. Thus it will also provide a much-needed toolset and framework for all sectors currently wanting to use AR or VR to improve productivity or generate new business models. This proposal will reduce the barrier to entry for content creators to enable easy use of this technology for a wealth of interactive scenarios from staff training to totally new user experiences.
