The StorySpinner sculptural reader

This demo is of a hypertext reading system called StorySpinner. It follows the sculptural hypertext methodology and has been used as a test bed for experimenting with the authoring of narrative flow in automatically generated stories. Readers are able to select and read one of two available stories. Reading a story involves selecting tarot cards which are mapped to chunks of story text based on possible interpretations of the cards and information concerning current story state. Categories and Subject Descriptors H.5.4 [Hypertext/Hypermedia]: Architectures Keywords Hyperfiction, narratology, sculptural hypertext, authoring.
