The Liquid Narrative Group

Michael Young

Narrative is one of the fundamental means by which we  organize, explain and understand our own experiences. Aspects of narrative play a central role in our learning, our communication, our social interaction, our arts and our recreation. Why, then, isn't the structure of human-computer  interaction designed to exploit our common orientation towards narrative?

The Liquid Narrative research group at North Carolina State University's Computer Science Department uses techniques from Artificial Intelligence, Human-Computer Interaction, Virtual Reality and Cognitive Psychology to model  narrative aspects of human interaction with computer systems. Our investigation is motivated by fundamental ideas from narrative theory and looks to provide computational models of interaction useful across a wide range of applications including

  • education
  • training
  • entertainment
  • computer-mediated communication
  • collaboration and social interaction
