Collapsus

In my opinion, the "interactive storytelling" like Collapsus is fascinating.  However, to me it seems to be just novelty.  Much like our current obsession with touch screens and iPads.  I do not see the interactive storytelling ever really being fun.  For users to really be immersed into the action one needs to either be just playing, or just listening. These mixtures of didactive and active learning are confusing.  Especially for young video game consumers.  No children will have the patience to stick with the intellectual work of understanding such elaborate storytelling.  Trans-Media has not impacted my own creative work.  This class has reminded me how exciting it is to share your work with others.  In the long run, interactive media, and any media for that matter is just about sharing your creative ideas with others.  As long as interactive media delivers intricate ways of sharing these ideas, it will have a niche market.
