"...The AMP philosophy is to preserve all the content and information in a scene, thus giving the artist as much raw material to work with. To this end, we developed the AMP camera and video system. AMP uses a novel optical engine to split the light from a single camera lens onto three digital video sensors. AMP can produce a true, high-dynamic range (HDR) image for every single frame in the video stream. And the best news is: that’s just the beginning.
AMP captures three widely spaced exposures in order to extend the dynamic range of the camera and produce images that are as close as possible to what the human eye can experience...."
The AMP HDR Camera is available later this year but it wouldn’t be a mass-produced product.
I believe this breed of storytelling is an ideal creative fit for original fiction of all genres. Storytellers can craft effective, original stories built with this unique storytelling medium in mind. However, tales set in mainstream entertainment properties are also an option. Imagine narratives specifically crafted to enhance the stories of existing creative universes, via prequel-style content or “between TV season” adventures. These tales can also provide effective lead-in narratives to promote upcoming TV seasons or films.
There are a handful of multimedia-savvy, first-mover authors (like me) who are ready and capable of telling these stories. We understand the nuanced narrative approach required when telling technology-powered tales… and we’re fluent in the creative techniques (such as prose fiction, screenwriting, non-linear storytelling, and more) needed to successfully realize them.
Excerpt:
"...Today, we take the narrative to the next level, adding even more rich interaction to our story.
Recall that this narrative is mostly text-based and presented as a well-crafted traditional novel or novella. (There’s no substitute for great writing.) However, the story’s “touchable moments” are designed to put the reader in the driver’s seat in equally emotionally resonant ways. The goal is to capture the same sense of discovery the story’s hero experiences – that thrilling “I just learned a secret” vibe..."
Excerpt:
"...By using the proven technologies integrated in the iPad and other tablets — features such as intuitive touch-based gestures, a motion-sensitive accelerometer, robust graphics and audio, and internet connectivity — folks like me can do far more than merely enhance a text-based narrative. We can create a new breed of narrative. Not a novel, not a movie, not a game — what I propose is all of these things and more: a presentation designed to immerse readers by using physical interaction as a meaningful part of the narrative.
Here are a few examples of how the iPad’s built-in features can be elegantly wedded with a story...."
In the example images above, a sci-fi thriller could begin by requiring the reader to place his palm upon the device. This would activate a spiffy animation that thematically introduces the reader to the fictional world and launches the narrative. The act of touching the screen is psychologically important; it builds the first of many physical “connections” between reader and content.
Summary
Yes, they can! Here is the proof: some programs that children wrote in Scratch: http://scratch.mit.edu/users/gsriada
Overview
Recently, I had the opportunity to spend some time introducing a group of 10-12 year olds to programming. This came at the end of a several weeks during which Martha Fahy had volunteered to teach the group about computer skills, including word processing, preparing presentations, using Excel, and underlying concepts such as operating systems, file systems, and so on.
