Interactive Cultural Experiences Using Virtual Identities

The story metaphor has been used in Multimedia and Virtual Environments to create interactive stories [8][9]. Interactive stories enable users to interactively explore the story world and to be actively involved in the outcome of the story. Virtual environments are much richer in terms of freedom of navigation and ease of interaction. Projection-based systems in particular, don’t bind the user to a predefined path and enables the user to have a hands-on experience through immersion and interaction with the virtual world.
