Interactive Storytelling

  One story that I think would be fun to add some interactivity into would be the three little pigs. We all know this story from our childhood and I think by letting the audience interact in this classic tale would really entertain anyone! One way in which I think I would add interactivity is when the pigs each build their own house, one out of sticks, one out of straw, and the smartest out of bricks. In this situation, the user could build the houses themselves, designing the overall size along with the interior and exterior of the house. The user could pick the furniture to go inside the house and also the color of the house. Another way in which users would be able to interact in this story would be when the wolf attempts to knock down the houses. The user could pick out a variety of tools to accomplish his goal of knocking down the poor pigs’ houses. These tools could range from a leaf blower to a jackhammer! This could affect the story in the way that the wolf could actually prevail and capture the pigs for supper if the user uses the tools necessary. The last thing I would do to the tale of the Three Little Pigs would make a defensive interactive scenario in which the pigs could fortify their houses and fight back against the evil wolf! This could range from the pigs using barriers, bows and arrows, or maybe even guns. Overall I think that these interactive changes would make for an enjoyable experience of reliving a favorite childhood tale for all.
