Transmedia:new trends in digital storytelling: the case of Laura Silva

Abstract: LauraSilva, a transmedia storytelling project developed in the context of the EU-funded Future Fabulators project, is a technologically mediated effort aiming to create awareness, disseminate knowledge, and engage its audience in learning about the importance of the UNESCO-protected laurisilva forest. The project takes the shape of a mobile-based, context-aware narrative that unfolds in the village of Ponta do Sol. The audience explores the narrow alleyways in search of a lost 18th-century herbarium and the historic, cultural, and scientific knowledge it contains. The experience is mediated through a custom mobile application that provides location-aware sensing to guide the audience in its quest. The story unfolds through audiovisual content and interactive artefacts placed around the village. Having undergone its first iteration as an experience prototype, the project is in the development stage.
