2nd International Conference
on Technologies for
Interactive Digital Storytelling
and Entertainment
June 24 – 26, 2004
ZGDV e.V, Darmstadt, Germany
Interactive Digital Storytelling has evolved as a prospering research
topic banding together formerly disjointed disciplines stemming from
the arts and humanities as well as computer science. It's tied up with
the notion of storytelling as an effective means for the communication
of knowledge and social values since the existence of humankind.
It also builds a bridge between current academic trends investigating
and formalizing computer games, and developments towards the
experience-based design of human-media interaction in general.
