Abstract

DocuDrama offers the generation of interactive narratives which are based on activities in a collaborative virtual environment. DocuDrama develops a model for the creation and enactment of narratives derived from the history of documents and interactions between people. It investigates how a narrative can be constructed from this information in a way appropriate for both the intended audience and the message to be conveyed. DocuDrama offers a choice of replay options which depend on the user’s situation and preferences. We apply this approach within TOWER, a Theatre of Work, which allows project members to be aware of project relevant activities as well as to establish social relationships to intensify team coherence.
