Constructed Narratives: Using Play to Breakdown Social

: Constructed Narratives is both a human computer interaction research project and interactive art exploration that demonstrates methods by which rigorous research and aesthetic and critical theories are combined to develop novel, innovative interfaces that promote constructive discourse between people. Constructed Narratives project is a component of the Interlinks research initiative which is exploring methods to design networked context aware interfaces to augment public spaces (e.g. hands-on museums, entertainment arenas, and locations for public transportation.) The primary goal for this network of context aware components is to facilitate discourse, enhance understanding and contextualization of information and shared awareness among its users. Thus providing a catalyst for encouraging communication and exchange of knowledge between individuals.
