genieBottles: An Interactive Narrative in Bottles Ali Mazalek, Ali Wood, and Hiroshi Ishii Tangible Media Group MIT Media Laboratory 20 Ames Street, Cambridge, MA 02139 USA ABSTRACT
The genieBottles system presents a story that is told by three genies that live in glass bottles. When a bottle is opened, the genie contained inside is released and begins to talk to the user. If several genies are released at once, they converse with each other. The physical bottles can be seen as graspable "containers" and "controls" for the digital story information, and wireless tag sensing technology is used to determine their open/closed states. This interface was first used in the musicBottles project, in which sets of glass bottles were filled with musical trios [1]. The genieBottles project explores the application of the bottle interface to the field of interactive storytelling. |
