Description
This project explores ways in which people can create/navigate through non-linear narrative spaces using Triangles. Triangles is a digital/physical construction kit of indentical, flat, plastic triangular pieces. The pieces connect together both physically and digitally with magnetic and conductive connectors. When the pieces connect together, they can trigger digital events. These events can influence the progress of a non-linear story, or allow users to organize media elements in order to create their own story space. In creating narratives, users can first capture audio, video and still images and store them in the Triangles. This media can then be arranged into a "story" by manipulating the Triangles. The story can later be retrieved in a non-linear fashion since the three-sided nature of the Triangles allows users to follow different paths as they navigate through the story space.
